On the 7th Day of HALLOWEEN My Boo Gave to Me...
A countdown of my favorite horror movies.
On the 7th day of Halloween my boo gave to me...
…The Exorcist (1973).
It may seem like a trite choice, but every time I watch this I’m in awe of the way it makes me feel. A priest battling his demons as he battles the real thing…a mother desperately trying to save her daughter… I remember as a child my friend telling me this movie scared the pants off her dad. Though this might have given me high expectations as far as scares go, I often watch this with the sole goal of admiring William Friedkin’s masterful filmmaking.
This movie still scares the hell out of me. But now that I’m older I appreciate the sacrifices those priests made to save that girl’s life and the terror of the mother. The book is one of my favorites, too.
Billy Friedkin was a beast at filmmaking!! No one like him since ✨😌✨
