The Exorcist: Demonic Possession, Mass Hysteria, and NYC’s Unsolved Murders

William Friedkin's film The Exorcist terrified audiences upon its release in 1973. They fainted, vomited, and went into hysterics in the theaters. Some overwhelmed viewers left early, only to return the next day, buying another ticket to see if they could make it to the end. But the story behind The Exorcist is just as compelling as the story on the screen. The film's production was marred by tragedy and the unpredictable behavior of its volatile director. The novel the film was based on became a best seller largely by happenstance. And the events that inspired the novel were so horrific and shameful that one man would spend his entire life trying to keep them a secret.To see the full list of contributors, see the show notes at www.disgracelandpod.com.The Exorcist is certainly one of the scariest movies and books ever created. What is the scariest book you've ever read?

Brandon Lee: Hungry Ghosts, Cursed Movies, and a Goth Masterpiece

Haunted by the legacy of his superstar father and by an old family curse, Brandon Lee tried to outrun the past. But the past came after him all the same. It was said that his father, Bruce Lee, was taken by that family curse at just 32 years old, and that it then followed Brandon to the set of The Crow, a cross between a superhero blockbuster and a brooding art film that was all goth. The shoot was plagued by injury, electrocution, storms, fires, and car crashes – and culminated in tragedy when a prop gun fired a real bullet.To see the full list of contributors, see the show notes at www.disgracelandpod.com.The loss of Brandon Lee has Jake thinking about that old Billy Joel lyric: "Only the Good Die Young."
