Anyone who knows me really well, knows I am a huge Marx Brothers fan. I am not so much a horror fan, though. I just read, in a piece by Barry Norman [greatest film critic ever], that William Peter Blatty appeared on a Groucho Marx quiz show and won $10,000. When Groucho asked him how he would spend the money, he replied, he would take some time off and write a novel. The result was The Exorcist. Just take a minute and think about that. If Barry says it`s true, it must be. I have never seen the film. I did read the book and it scared me enough to prevent me from ever seeing the film. Years later, I saw Linda Blair at a Memorabilia fair in Birmingham. She looked a lot better than in some of the scenes in the movie.
