"The Exorcist" is one of the scariest films I've ever seen. I left the theater 20 minutes into a showing of the 2000 re-release and then watched the DVD in 20-minute increments at home with every light in my apartment shining brightly. (The breaks every 20 minutes were so I could calm down and brace myself for the next scene.)
Anyway, the Sci Fi channel will feature four hours of "real" exorcisms tonight with the premiere of the Rev. Bob Larson's new reality show, "The Real Exorcist." Just in time for your Halloween pre-party.
The series is from the folks who produced "Dirty Jobs" and "Ghost Hunters." From a feature in the Toledo Blade:
By watching Mr. Larson cast out evil spirits on The Real Exorcist and by witnessing the victims' lives being changed, people who think they have demon problems will feel as though they've been "given permission" to talk about their fears and seek help, he said. ...The 63-year-old minister said he has performed more than 6,000 exorcisms in 90 nations and reports having been kicked, choked and spat upon by people whose demons resisted the prayers of deliverance.
