April continues to be a good month for free screenings. Chicago's Harold Washington Library Center is hosting another film directed by William Friedkin. The Exorcist was the first movie that really scared me, to the point that I couldn't sleep! And this was the tv version which was probably cut down somewhat for broadcast, although I am not sure if back then the tv channels would cut out all the graphic visuals like they would do nowadays for broadcast, non-cable tv. You can't deny that many modern day horror movies owe something if not a lot to The Exorcist and how horror was visually depicted in the movies.The last event in this series takes place on April 16, when Mr. Friedkin speaks and will sign his new book. Mark your calendars!
