Fan-designed Criterion Cover for Exorcist III
“I have dreams of a rose, and a long flight of stairs. Incidentally, who is this Damien you speak of?”
If I could have one wish, it would be that Blatty got the chance to assemble his original cut of Legion, the way he envisioned it before studio meddling turned it into The Exorcist III. Despite the final versions flaws, it’s still one of my favorite movies.
It might be a hot mess, but Exorcist III is still one of the most terrifically creepy movies I’ve ever seen. It gets under your skin and stays there. There are scenes – single shots, even – that still manage to give me shivers when I think of them. It’s criminally underrated/overlooked as a horror film.
This is a much better cover than the nonsense they ended up going with.
