The independent documentary that delves into one of the greatest film bungles of all time is finally available on DVD.

“Schrader’s Exorcism is a documentary featuring maverick filmmaker Paul Schrader’s ride through hell and back while making film history on his epic “Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist”.
The documentary is a candid off the hook-look at what can happen to a famous director in Hollywood today.
Shot during an agitated period of time under much pressure. The picture reflects a moment in film history that we should never forget, film student to studio executive.”

Order it now from the Schrader’s X Official Website. Don’t forget to check out the kickass trailer below, in case you need your appetite whetted any further.

Warner Brothers have finally announced that The Exorcist will be released on Blu-Ray disc. Amazon have gone ahead and listed the disc on their website where you can pre-order it, despite the lack of release date at the moment. Expect a date to be announced before Christmas, to ensure we make it part of our stocking stuffing. Stay tuned for further details on the date and features that may (or may not) be included.

In the Discussion Forums recently, CaptainHowdy.com member Indie House posted a video he created while on a trip to Georgetown (where scenes from The Exorcist were filmed). Here is how he describes it:

In October 2007 I was fortunate enough to spend two days in Washington whilst visiting from Australia. As a huge fan of ‘The Exorcist’ I had to stop at some known spots and take some video. This clip juxtaposes the vision I took with vision from the film in an effort to depict the similarities and differences that have evolved over the decades. I had a great afternoon and for a brief time felt like a small part of ‘The Exorcist’ mythology (I had to include a cameo of myself to put my personal stamp on it too).

Watch the video below:

Discuss it in this Discussion Forum thread.

Have you created a fan video based around The Exorcist? If so we’d love to see it! Post it on the Discussion Forums or contact me (Captain Howdy).

The scary maze game that has taken YouTube prank videos by storm is now available here at The Exorcist Fansite! I have embedded the maze in a very sneaky breakaway page, so your unsuspecting friends and family won’t see any banners or links eluding to The Exorcist while they play.

You are so cruel. CRUEL!

Linda Blair in The Exorcist

Exorcist Fansite longtimer and webmaster of The Ninth Configuration website Ryan has provided gorgeous scans of a very rare article from the August 1977 issue of American Cinematographer. The article is a surprising 10 page spread on a then much anticipated sequel to the greatest horror film of all time. Ryan scored the magazine on good-old eBay.

William A. Fraker was the man behind the camera on Heretic, and he provides a great insight into the production in this article, not to mention it is loaded with plenty of great (and some rare) imagery from the film. Enjoy!

If you’re like me and prefer to read things like this on the printed page as apposed to the screen, I have also uploaded this PDF file of the article (2.5MB). In the future I plan to create PDF files of all the articles in the Articles section.
