That's too bad. I didn't know he directed Exorcist 3. That movie scared the hell-outta me.

RIP.

Though I saw this just a couple of days ago and it made me think of the movie. Plus I find it hilarious since I have a basset also. :)

Warning, it's a tad loud.

Dammit I didn't see this and posted in current events...

...anyway, Blatty is a hero of mine. RIP.

RIP William.



If any of you haven't yet, go read 'Twinkle twinkle Killer Kane', by W. P. Blatty.

It's trippy.

Made for a strange movie as well.

I used to drive by the 'Exorcist stairs' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exorcist_steps) every day after work until I moved. RIP Mr. Blatty.

The book is more disturbing than the film.
