The Exorcist is Still Scary Thanks to Classic Film Trickery (1x14)
Air date: Oct 30, 2023
The Exorcist had audiences' heads spinning in 1973, and hasn't really stopped since. William Friedkin had just won an Oscar for The French Connection, and William Peter Blatty's novel was a best seller, but the filmmakers still had a long way to go to make a classic. Clint, Alex, and Cal are chock full of pea soup and ready to dive into the incredible makeup effects, the behind-the-scenes wizardry of the grip department, and how the director's cut of the film was actually kind of the writer's cut.
