In this specific clip from The Exorcist, it shows numerous ways on how the terms “terror and horror” are presented. The reasoning for this movie being my choice is because it is one of my favorite movies of all time and has a very well executed approach at portraying terror and horror through speaking obscenities, demonic possession, supernatural sights (the bed shaking and floating from the force of the demonic presence possessing the child), and deep toned noises that are not naturally possible from a child but would be conisdered normal from a supernatural entity considered a demon. These specific scenes, in my opinion, portray gothic elements very well and also when taken into consideration of the facial expressions and body language of the actors and the actress.
