FANGORIA BONUS PAGES: The Devil Made Them See It
That time James Cagney yelled at William Friedkin about THE EXORCIST.
Today is another piece we’ve been sitting on for about a year, a victim of late-breaking articles coming in and knocking it into that past-100-page twilight zone.
Which sucks, because it’s a great story! FANGORIA legend Michael Gingold talks to William Friedkin (whose Cruising hits Blu today, courtesy Arrow Films) about some of the blowback his film The Exorcist received in 1973. As you’ll read, the anger came from corners both expected and surprising.
