She's possessed! Hilaria Baldwin performs acrobatic staircase yoga... eerily mirroring famous Exorcist horror scene



Going upside down: Hilaria Baldwin shared a snap of her daily yoga practise on TuesdayShe's committed to posting one yoga portrait of herself to Twitter every day.
But when Hilaria Baldwin shared a daring snap of herself on Tuesday performing an upside down backbend on a staircase, she most certainly did not have a horror movie in mind.

The acrobatic demonstration inadvertently mirrored a famous skin-crawling moment from the classic Spiderwalk scene in 1973's The Exorcist.

In the snap the 29-year-old can be seen performing chakrasana (wheel) as she bends over backwards on a staircase in Madrid, Spain.
Wearing a zip up jumper and exercise tights with comfy soft leather boots, the go-to outfit for most yoga girls, Hilaria flashes a smile whilst upside down in the impressive posture.
She captioned the shot: 'This one totally scared me... #hilariaypd #yogapostureoftheday #dontattemptthis #imaslinky (wheel pose) #RitzMadrid'.
Unintentional: The 29-yea-old's pose looked eerily similar to the Spiderwalk scene from 1973 horror classic The Exorcist

In the classic horror film directed by William Friedkin, the character of 12-year-old Regan McNeil (Linda Blair) is the victim of a demonic possession as two Catholic priests attempt to exorcise the dark force.
In one terrifying scene, Regan is seen walking upside down a set of stairs - in the exact same posture as Hilaria's yoga demonstration.
The contortionist descent down the staircase has lived on in the memories of film goers for over three decades as one of the most chilling moments in horror.

While Hilaria was displaying her yoga prowess, Alec was presumably working on his latest film nearby in the Spanish capital.
The 55-year-old actor has teamed up with Spanish industry heavyweights Santiago Segura and Sony on Torrente 5, the latest installment of the most successful movie franchise in Spanish history.
The first film that started it all was Torrente, The Stupid Arm Of The Law, a Spanish film directed, written and starring Segura and produced by Lolafilms.
The title is a parody of Cobra, The Strong Arm Of The Law and the films have woven themselves into Spanish culture due mostly to their racy humour.
Hilaria was born on the Spanish isle of Mallorca and split her childhood between Spain and the USA, so this may have played a role in her husband's career move.
