I'm kind of sad to hear that! I think that it was her voice that really made the film. It wouldn't have been nearly as terrifying if it was really Blair's voice the whole time.

Althuogh Mike Oldfield's music is only used for about ten seconds in the film.

The search box isn't working just now, but we have a whole series of entries on all of the Halloween films. Just click 'Browse' in the right-hand menu and go to:

I do like The Exorcist and the proper sequel Exorcist III (in fact, the book III is based on - Legion - is one book I keep going back to again and again). I'm not all that fond of slasher movies, although Psycho II and III are both good in their own ways and some of the Halloween / Friday 13th films are okay.

I'd say The Wicker Man (original, not that rubbish with Nic Cage) is one of my all-time fave films.

Exorcist 3 was pretty good, though thankfull not as scary as the original. I keep meaning to pick up a copy of legion and forgetting!
