The Documented Case The Exorcist was Based On
The year was 1949. William Peter Blatty was a student at Georgetown University. The case was reported in the newspapers. Demonic possession in 1949? The afflicted was a 13 ½ year old boy. The early accounts called him “Roland Doe,” while later accounts gave him the name of “Douglass Deene.” Blatty read and Associated Press account of the case in the Washington Post, then did extensive research. Twenty years later, when he wrote his book, he changed so many of the details that it bears little resemblance to the actual case. The boy’s symptoms followed the classic stages of possession and J. B. Rhine, one of the founders of modern parapsychology was consulted. Finally, the boy was sent to St. Louis and exorcized at least twenty times. There are two books I used as references for this article which are cited at the end of the article. One was written by Rosemary Ellen Guiley and the other by Colin Wilson. Because of one glaring mistake I have problems with the Wilson book, which will be addressed in the article.

BOOK REVIEW: The Satanic Screen: An Illustrated Guide to the Devil in Cinema
Author Nikolas Schreck contends that motion pictures have always been the Devil’s domain, and a perusal of "The Satanic Screen: An Illustrated Guide to the Devil in Cinema" proves he may be right. From Europe’s earliest 17th century pre-cinematic “magic lantern spectacles” to the occult blockbusters of the 1960s, 70s and beyond, Schreck’s exhaustively researched and remarkably entertaining treatise provides an authoritative account of the changing face of the Devil in film.

Review: The Haunting of Amphipolis
The second episode of the sixth season is a bit of an homage to classic horror cinema. Sadly, the script is a Frankenstein Monster of disparate storylines, and while individual moments and ideas are successful, the overall result is less than perfect.
