The Exorcist Season 3: What The Cancelled Show Would Have Been About
Here's where The Exorcist season 3 would have taken Marcus and Tomas. The original Exorcist is considered one of — if not the — scariest movie of all time, and it's almost easy to forget the impact it had upon viewers in 1973. It was an intense, visceral experience that is oft-imitated but rarely equaled, so of course, it kicked off a franchise. Neither director William Friedkin nor author William Peter Blatty were interested in a sequel, so Exorcist II: The Heretic was directed by John Boorman (Deliverance). Boorman felt the original was "repulsive" and wanted to helm a film that was warm and metaphysical instead of a scary movie. This proved to be a bad move as audiences laughed it off the screen in 1977, and Exorcist II is regarded as one of the worst sequels ever.
