Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)

New episode is up! For this year's Scarytober, the manatees are watching one of the most notorious sequels to a horror movie in cinematic history: 1977's Exorcist II: The Heretic! Directed by John Boorman and starring Linda Blair, Richard Burton, and Louise Fletcher, Exorcist 2 takes the franchise in a different direction, replacing demons with grasshoppers, exorcists with investigative journalists, and ritual exorcism with punching. There's an Inception machine and a beehive hospital and James Earl Jones dressed as a grasshopper luchador. The manatees are dumbfounded. Float along with us?
