The Sequel That Was Never About Demons

NOTE: This video uses some AI image generations. I made it when, for me, the technology was fairly new. Today, I feel like its overused and is used for not-so-great reasons (AI spam accounts). For that reason, I no longer use any generative AI visuals or audio in my videos. Some day, I may go back and remake my videos that used Gen AI, not because I personally am so offended by it, but I don't want my audience to ever think I'm phoning it in. Starting in 2026, no gen AI can or will be found in the videos. Thanks! - WC Although I did promise to get into the wild world of Cat III cinema, I felt inspired after re-watching The Exorcist III for the millionth time. It truly is one of my all-time favorite films and every time I sit down to re-watch it, I learn so much more about the lived-in world that this movie takes place in. It's scary, terrifying, and also incredibly well produced. A great film that deserves so many more accolades than it receives. Check it out! Yet another video essay for you all to fall asleep to! While this isn't the "weirdest movie" ever covered on this channel, I still consider it a wonderful hidden gem with a fascinating story surrounding it And with this out of the way, I go back to work on the Category III project which I hope I can keep confined to being just one video. A couple of little mistakes/things I wish I could have got into with the video: At one point I say " San Diego" when referring to the Zodiac killer crimes, I meant to say San Francisco. This was a mistake made by a poor Southern boy who has never been to the West Coast. Although not really a mistake, I could have talked more about the history of the film being made. I've read various accounts of William Peter Blatty's writing of the original script. I've read that he started working on a script for a sequel before The Heretic was made, and I've also read that both he and William Friedkin were offered to come back for Exorcist 2 and they both ultimately refused. I feel like I watched several interviews with Blatty where he kind of gave conflicting reports on all this.
