These stairs were made famous in the 1973 horror movie , "The Exorcist." Today you might find GU students and athletes using them for exercising, instead of exorcising .
Very creepy steps. Extremely steep . If your a fan of the movie . A must stop if your in the area. I highly recommend to go at night. It makes it that much more creepy

The stairs are difficult to find (it's quite hidden) but well worth it! Best to look for the gas station which is right next to the steps.
A cool little landmark in Georgetown. Right next to the university , and close to the bridge .
Washington DC’s famous 97 stone steps located at the end of M Street gained some serious attention during the filming of the 1973 hit, The Exorcist.
Steep—but worth the climb to say you did it!
Very steep stairs ... got your cardio working going up and down the stairs ! You'll feel like you're in the movie set!
As a student at GU at the time, I remember watching the famous scene from the Exorcist being filmed .
5-10 sets, running in the rain/thunder/lightning, with some pull-ups between sets. Exercise those endorphins, Exorcise those inner demons!
Great place to get photos of you are a horror movie fan .
Start at the top and go down to take an awesome photo. Take a deep breath and run back up.
Watch your step.
If you want a picture, snap it fast - lots of locals exercise up and down them!
People work out here all the time, have fun being all sweaty an panting when you walk up it
You have to run up and down them! Just do it
Kneel down to photograph from the bottom of these famously creepy stairs from The Exorcist for a truly gruesome shot.
A must see for movie fans
It's a great exercise and beautiful at sunset !
Breathe before you go up. Do it at night ;)
Start at the bottom and work your way up. That's what she said!
Great exercise once you climb up look back down
I see dead people...usually they're dead tired from exercising lolol
Great exercise! You'll catch attractive people running up and down the stairs .
my workout today: 2 rounds of stairs followed by 20 double 53-lb kettlebell swings (repeat cycle 6 times).
I used to run up and down these stairs when I trained for crew at BCC.
