A must read for any fan of The Exorcist, horror, or film history in general. Nat Segaloff provides a comprehensive history of the franchise, and the climate in which it existed, including the TV series which I had no idea existed prior to reading this. It’s wild to say that The Exorcist has been around for nearly 50 years. Time, man. The Exorcist paved the way for so much of what I love today that this almost feels like required reading for any self proclaimed horror or film nerd, but required reading I really enjoyed — and you’ll likely enjoy too, if spooks and movies are your thing.
