Oops I clean forgot. Yes I have it.
It’s not a perfect copy by any means and there are a few blips as it’s from a VHS. Amusingly it only runs a few minutes longer than the DVD documentary which shows that my memory must be crap after all 😉 Comes as a 2 disk set with “The Curse of the Exorcist” and “Didn’t You Used to be Satan?”

Anyway, anyone wants it drop me private message with your address and I will run you off a copy for the price of postage paid to my paypal account.

Jagged,

Are we still talking about the FOG that aired on the BBC? If so, did you find that it ran about 74 minutes instead of 99 minutes? I don’t care if you memory is crap (so is mine), I’d just love to know what we missed on the 25th Anniversary DVD FOG version! 🙂

Yes it’s the broadcast version can’t remember offhand how long exactly, but it comes in at under 80 mins which makes no sense for a UK time slot but there you go. Want a copy?

Hmmm … I’m wondering if the Mercedes McCambridge materials adds up to the missing six minutes that was broadcast in an unusual 80-minute time slot in the UK. Jagged, does it look this may be the case? Are running times in the UK usually based on 30-minute increments? Most of the shows on BBC America have commercials, but I understand BBC UK is commercial free, right? Perhaps the missing 10 minutes was an add-on to the FOG.

The version of Fear of God on the DVD is an international one, removing the Mark Kermode links and anything positively identifying it as a British documentary.

Certainly, in the UK we got the full cut on the VHS, as it was straightforward enough to create for the tape version, but the DVD encode would have been international. There was plenty of room on the international release of The Exorcist DVD for the full cut had its presence been desired!

Well, the good thing is that you can always check YouTube for the entire U.S. version of the U.K. BBC FOG sanctioned by WB. Apparently, McCambridge wanted something more in return financially – or – WB cut her out over the initial lawsuit for a lack of credit in the 1973 release of The Exorcist. Who knows?
