Eleven Days In

...to October, and I still haven't done all that much in terms of content generation. Maybe this is because most people start mainlining horror movies during this month, as opposed to (say) what I do every goddamn day--I don't think it's overstating the case to claim I probably watch more horror than anything else, whether onscreen, on BluRay/DVD,

I remember that Malachai Martin book! I got it from a used bookstore, although I think I gave it away a few years ago. Most of what I remember from it is that he was extremely fond of exclamation points.

Malachi Martin and exclamation points are not soon separated, that's for sure. Still, there are at least three of those cases that gave me the severe willies, including the one called "The Smiler," and all of them remind me strenuously of what's been going on on The Exorcist: TV Edition.

So how is that working? Is the series related to the films in the same manner as Hannibal, or Bates Motel, or what?

(My quest to see Psycho on a big screen with an audience who isn't there for the irony continues fruitless! The Coolidge is screening it on 35 mm-for Halloween, as a double feature with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). People will probably be throwing toast at the screen. I continue to feel this shouldn't be so difficult!)

The Exorcist: TV Version is definitely taking place within the same universe as the movie(s), in that one of the main characters Googles around and trips on an account of the Reagan MacNeill case pretty quick. However, none of the established characters have shown up (thus far), and the possession itself is taking a slightly different tack--it's a long game, not a short one, and seems to involve multiple already-possessed people beyond the immediate victim.

Neat. Can I ask you to write more about it at some future date?

[handful_ofdust]

Absolutely! That's next on the docket, when I don't feel quite as sideways crook.

Yay! Feel better soon on general principle, anyway.
