Ep 45: The Exorcist

This week, the power of CFX compels you to listen to our second Satanic episode in a row! That’s right, for Episode 45, we take on 1973 horror classic, The Exorcist! Is this the greatest, most shocking horror film ever made or just a pile of pea soup colored puke? We answer this by digging into every detail of the incredible story of how this film was made, its impact at then and whether it still stands the test of time. And, as always, along the way, we also learn….

• Which CFX host has something creepy in common with Rick Springfield, Rick James and CFX alumnus Neil Giraldo.
• What William Friedkin would do on set to get the best performances from his cast
• How Mercedes McCambridge prepared for her role as Pazuzu
• What words Jeff used to make the Ouija board spell out back in the day (and no it wasn’t Steely Dan Rules!)
