CaptainHowdy.com forum member SLASHerMan recently put together this fan video reflecting on Jason Miller‘s performance of Father Karras in The Exorcist. It’s actually a well-compiled piece (unlike some fan videos out there), and, when you consider the passing of Jason Miller in 2001, it becomes extra moving as you reflect …
