Your favorite hosts are back, and talking to film critic and cosplayer Jessica Scott, who brought two underrated and under-discussed bangers: John Hancock’s ethereal and unsettling Let’s Scare Jessica To Death (1971), and William Peter Blatty’s chaotic long lost successor to The Exorcist, The Exorcist III (1990 – and yes, The Exorcist II exists, but for our purposes, no it doesn’t).
You might wonder what these movies have in common for a double feature, and they’re here to tell you: actually a lot! Both were developed to diverge heavily from their source material, both use naturalistic relationships to drive the horror, both feature fantastic voice work and dream/nightmare logic, both were ignored by Roger Ebert, and of course, Zohra Lampert – who if you’re not familiar with as a performer, you’re about to be.
What these don’t have in common, in no particular order: 70’s pesticide horror, Weird Little Guy Things, creepy car-handle holding, the Catholic Joker, fear of free love, “a lesbian flick,” and Fabio.
