The stone steps at the corner of Prospect St NW and 36th St NW leading down to M Street NW in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. were padded with 1/2"-thick rubber to film the death of the character Father Karras. Because the house from which Karras falls was set back slightly from the steps, the film crew constructed an extension with a false front to the house in order to film the scene.^[1] The stuntman tumbled down the stairs twice. Georgetown University students charged people around $5 each to watch the stunt from the rooftops.
