An early, more comedic version of The Exorcist has the devil invading a convent. The nuns flee from him, but return with their crosses. If it was that easy to bedevil the devil, why didn't they hang them on the wall in the first place? This French film by Georges Méliès was produced in 1899 (the sound was added later).

The sound was probably the score for the movie.
For silent films, I believe they also sent a score so the local musician or band could play to add sound/music to the movie.
About 3 years ago, we went to a silent movie night; it was neat to watch the movie while someone played the organ nearby.
