Dr. Martens heads into Halloween with a capsule inspired by William Friedkin’s 1973 cult horror classic, The Exorcist, translating some of the film’s most unsettling imagery and dialogue across three of its signature silhouettes.

The 1460 boot arrives in Black/Purple, using smooth leather as a backdrop for a large-scale image of possessed Regan MacNeil across the upper, while “FAITHLESS SLIME” is debossed at the heel and repeated on an alternate set of laces. Matte black eyelets, a black-and-purple AirWair heel loop and signature yellow welt stitching complete the design.

The 1461 shoe takes a darker, more understated approach in Black Vintage Smooth leather, with “I’M NOT REGAN” laser-etched across the surface so that a biscuit-brown undertone shows through the lettering. Black welt stitching, a metallic “THE EXORCIST” lace charm and additional “FAITHLESS SLIME” graphics keep the low-cut silhouette visually restrained but loaded with references to the film.

The Jadon boot delivers the collection’s most dramatic finish, coating its platform silhouette in glossy purple Arcadia leather with a two-tone rub-off effect that gives the surface greater depth and sheen. “I’M NOT REGAN” is embossed across the upper, joined by a custom zipper, lace jewelry and a black-and-purple heel loop, while the chunky platform sole heightens its already imposing profile.

All three pairs also feature specially printed insoles and additional co-branded details, extending the horror references into less immediately visible areas. Beyond footwear, the capsule includes a black leather backpack printed with Father Merrin’s silhouette and jacquard socks covered in purple “I’M NOT REGAN” lettering.
