The Exorcist is Still Scary Thanks to Classic Film Trickery (1x14)

:

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.
