The Exorcist director William Friedkin recently had an interview with MovieWeb and discussed the possibilities of The Exorcist being re-released in 3D, on IMAX, remake rumours and the upcoming Blu-ray disc. Thankfully, he states, as long as he is alive a 3D version of The Exorcist is never going to …

A 2004 documentary called Exorcists: The True Story has finally found its way to the internet, thanks largely to Exorcist Fansite members columbiancannon and Ryan.

Some people have the coolest friends. Fellini has forwarded what is potentially the greatest Christmas card any Exorcist fan could ever receive. If these were available in stores I would scoop up as many as I could (and most probably never even send them to people, just keep them for …
