Anyone who claimed that The Exorcist "glorified Satan" clearly didn't watch the actual movie.
Well could say that a Christian got that says Christian got possessed in technically that's not biblical. However I admit it's still one of my favorite movies back in the day.
@@higurashianduminekoconnect1702 a Christian was never possessed in the Bible? please reread it, kind sir.
You could understand that comment?! @@undyingentropy6736
I wouldn't be surprised if the movie's reputation and the general gist of what it's about was what these guys were judging on. Keep in mind it's pre-Internet days when audiences who couldn't handle horror movies would usually just avoid them and/or only know of them through trailers/movie reviews - they didn't have the benefit of the Internet to provide a summary and make their viewing experience easier.
Doesn't justify what they were doing to poor Linda Blair though - she and many other child stars in Hollywood didn't deserve the crap and dysfunction they got alongside their fame. :(
Idk man I think it made Satan look pretty badass
Just wanted to tell the Dead Meat team how much I’ve enjoyed this series and can’t wait for season 2.
Saaaaame
Seconding this
Ye we need conjuring in season 2
I so agree !!
Huge second, plz and thanks. Absolutely adore this new show and host.
The only thing I don’t love is the floating film reels. Maybe change up the colors so they don’t all look the same? They’re crammed full of samey pink words, it doesn’t quite register right in my brain.
Weird esoteric fun fact about pazuzu: in Mesopotamien mythology and religion he was actually a protector of children and a healer of children and people, but he was listed as a demon along with several other deities and spirits in the lesser key of Solomon
That's kind of the MO of Abrahamic Religions, take gods of the cultures of an area they are attempting to spread to, or have taken root in, and make them demons, kind of like how Ba'al, a god of fertility and seasons, became Beelzebuub, Lord of the Flies and one of the names associated with the devil himself
@@kurosakikun96 the term demon didn’t even originate in Christianity, it originated as daimon or daemon from Ancient Greece, and they were earthly beings with neutral powers, but yeah the Romans ruined all that
@@lainthetripletaurus3132
That's an interesting fun fact! Kinda gives me a new perspective of how some people portray demons in other shows/movies, like in Vivzie's Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss!
Pazuzu is not real in any mythology bud.. literally made for the film and mentioned in other films and shows as Easter egg etc... that's it..
@@lainthetripletaurus3132you're mixing a bunch of things into your own assumptions. And using English is a bad example for language reference. English consists of every language. Demon is just English for descendant of devil in ancient latin or something. Daemon has a different definition to demon in English.
the fact that blair and burstyn both still deal with back pain from this sours the movie a bit for me, particularly with burstyn considering the cause of hers was deliberate on friedkin’s part. i hate when asshole directors taint their movies with their shitty behavior on set
also, weird to see people complaining about this series and especially chauncey in the comments. y’all are doing great work here, these videos are fun and informative
@@questionablesalad5350Kind of like how you’re complaining about Friedkin?
@@07foxmulder ??? the comparison doesn't make any sense lmao
@@20628 I couldn’t care less about the context of the complaints. Him complaining about Friedkin and then whining about people complaining is the definition of irony.
@@07foxmulder yea i get what you mean. but that's exactly why it makes no sense tho. since yknow the context is what establishes any irony. so you are saying criticizing friedkin and pointing out comments hating on chauncy is ironic. but that makes no sense. haha
Why is it so difficult for movie sets to treat child actors like actual children and not abuse them to the point of lasting physical consequences? They're children! You shouldn't even be treating adult actors like that!
Exactly! I feel so bad for Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair (and of course anyone else who experienced harm onset) they experienced alot of physical and mental harm during the filming of the exorcist, and even til this day they are suffering from some of the injuries they have.
@@moonwalker8391 They deserve compensation, even if it won't heal their current physical and mental injuries, they still deserve *something*
I'm genuinely asking why it's so hard for child actors to be treated with the love and care they deserve...
This movie was made a very long time ago. Back in those days, all walks of life could be very brutal and unfair, and there was no social media to go to for sympathy/support. Things are very different on movie sets today with regards to actors’ welfare.
@@happyspaceinvader508 But that doesn't make it right.. even if things were different, there's no way anyone would think it was acceptable to treat a child like that right?
They didn’t have as much care back then, need I remind you all of Wizard of Oz?
Fun fact: William Friedkin went on to direct a movie called Cruising that was inspired by Paul Bateson's murders. I honestly find that darkly hilarious.
That's the one starring Al Pacino
Fun size. It is one of the funniest movies ever.
I believe this fact was mentioned on the Dead Meat podcast "cursed movies" episode
Yeah.. William Friedkin made some very strange directional choices after the Exorcist.
I don't find that funny at all, it just shows how much of a pos he is
Production Tales from Hell has never been a more fitting title. Very nice work.
Jane Fonda not wanting the role because she "doesn't believe in magic" is wild to me. Like you're an actor? None of this is real.
That’s what I’m saying! What a **BeeP**
what a ridiculous reason to turn down a role 😂
I think it's undestandable to turn it down if you feel like you are not capable of portraying genuine emotions, specially on a subjet as controversial as religion.
@@catvicddlm1884 Nah I find it fuckin stupid. Anyone remember that time when Jim Carrey was in Kick Ass 2 had no issues until the movie came out and he made a big stink over guns being used in the film?
@@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090I mean actors can complain about the movies they started in
"They're coming to get you barbara"
- no wait, wrong film 😅
I'm here all week folks 😜
I've never understood why when people point to a film being cursed when people die during or after production for entirely unrelated reasons. Like... people die. That's a fundamental fact of life. Why does that have to be blamed on a specific production? Not to mention that if this had been any other genre of movie chances are nobody would have deemed it cursed as a result of the deaths, but because it's a horror movie - and a controversial one at that - then people jump to it somehow being the film's fault. So weird.
Probably because the production of a horror movie would be a possible hot spot for something paranormal, given how many of them are based around possessions and demons and the occult and such. So it makes some form of sense that some people would be paranoid and point to a death completely unrelated to the production as being from a curse. Even if the only thing connecting the death is that they're tied to one of the actors.
If you want a real curse from a movie, there was this old flick that was supposed to come out, but they had no choice but to cancel it due to a very strange pattern happening, so strange that it stopped being a coincidence.
The strange occurence? Every person they chose to play the main character would die before they even start shooting the scenes. Every. Single. Time. Whether it'd be heart problems, or something completely unrelated, the main lead would always die before they start production, leading to it being cancelled.
I don't remember what it's called, but I'll look it up later and add the title once I find it. Honestly, kinda wanna see that flick be possibly covered here...
Edit cuz I found the original video I found it from: The movie is called Atuk. Known actors that expressed interest in the lead role was Jon Belushi(idk how to spell his name, died in 1982 due to drug overdose), Sam Kinnesin(yeah, I don't think I'll be spelling any of these last names right, he died in car crash), John Candy(heart attack), and Chris Farley(also drug overdose).
You're welcome
it is dumb to blame it all on a movie but there is something to be said for the fact that so many crazy events happened to/involving people tied to this production and there was a lot of pain, suffering, and sadism embedded into its production. That is very noticeable because...it's very unusual. But again, it is dumb to blame it on a fictional, highly curated and highly produced piece of entertainment. It's just people assigning meaning where there is none to fill in gaps of understand/find an answer to something they want to know.
Saw the Exorcist,the Car , Halloween, and Jaws all the same weekend at 8 ... Scariest weekend ever 💀
Sounds like the best baptism by fire a young horror fan could ask for!!😎
Lol
Lot of people don't know about The Car. I just found out about it around a year ago.
The Omen's production was truly from hell I've heard. I hope Omen gets a kill count one day too. The exorcist is a true horror classic. Awesome to hear it's hard production story.
There's a new Omen movie thats out now and I've heard that it's actually good. James should have considered doing a Kill Count for that series this year. Maybe I'll send him an email request.
@@romangunter621Can confirm, it's surprisingly good for what was marketed as a generic Nun ripoff.
@@romangunter621 It's been a long time since I've seen a prequel that actually expands and even improves the story of the original. Highly recommend. Worth your time and money.
Jason Miller muscled his way into his role is the most badass thing I've ever heard of.
Fun fact, the man who played Father Dyer was an actual Jesuit Catholic priest, Father William O'Malley. He also served as a technical advisor on the religious aspects of the film. He was a teacher at my Highschool in Western NY for many years, before ending up at a different High School where he taught til his death.
Also not so fun fact about O'Malley is he has been accused of sexually abusing a 17 year old underage boy that attended the school in Rochester NY that O'Malley taught at for the last year of his teaching there
@@FemboyForFoodYikes, not helping the priest stereotype
Just finished watching the exorcist kill count and I'm glad James did mention the accusations against O'Malley
@@FemboyForFood wish I could find any information on whether those accusations were ever investigated, and whether said investigation ever turned up evidence...
One of my favorite movies of all time and I'm so glad that Chauncey (and, soon, James) is talking about it. A fun personal fact is that I was ONLY seven or eight years old when I bought a second hand comic book and the double page centerfold splash page was the FULL FACE OF POSSESSED REGAN... Lemme just say I didnt sleep properly for one or two weeks after that. 😅
It hasn't been said enough, this series is so top notch. Don't stop making episodes!
Thank you! 😄

Just a little note: while The Exorcist was the first horror film nominated for Best Picture, it wasn’t the first horror movie nominated period. In fact, just a few years prior, Ruth Gordon won Best Supporting Actress for Rosemary’s Baby!
What I love about this show is that you get to the points rather quickly, there's no "clickbait" like in many similar tv programmes
i’ve been loving this series so much!! i love how much each episode feels like a tea-spilling session while respecting the sensitive topics (:
on that note, i can’t even imagine what Linda Blair went through. the vitriol must’ve been terrifying because hate mail in the 70s had to *literally* be sent through the mail; which means the people who went through that trouble must’ve been extremely angry and nasty.
The breathing of the devil in The Exorcist sounds like me a couple times when I had life threatening, raging pneumonia. Cracklin like a fire.
Not to mention, Denise Nickerson (who played Violet from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) was considered for the role of Regan, but their parents refused to allow her to screen test after reading the screenplay.
Getting possessed must have been a side effect of the Juicing.
I would love to see a feature length film about making of The Exorcist.
EDIT: Thanks for the recomendations for great documentaries, but I was talking about like a film in the style of that TV show from Paramount about making The Godfather (but this time make it good)
Go watch critic Mark Kermode. He is an expert.
Cursed Films on Shudder
It's not a horror movie, but I would pay good money to see a film about the production of Apocalypse Now.
@@scarletibis3158 Thanks for recommendation. I will surely watch him soon.
@@coolnerdlll6053 Yeah...That would be fun to showcase George Lucas's idea for this film and then --- PRODUCTION HELL and HEART ATTACKS.
“Exorcism at Tiffany’s” i love that 😭
You are the absolute perfect hostess/narrator for this series. Keep up the great work.
Aw thank you! Thanks for watching 😊
@@ChaunceyKRobinson I really loved this series. I have no idea if you guys plan on making any more, but I really hope they'll be more of them at some point in the future.
If y’all see this-thank you Chauncey, James, Chelsea, and the rest of the Dead Meat team. As a horror-fanatic ‘90s kid, this channel hits a spot in my soul that nothing else does. Might I suggest branching out even more into these longer-form breakdown-style videos? In my opinion, PTFH is better than Cursed Films, a network show also about ‘cursed’ productions, in my opinion, and I really see a place for The Kill Count, this, and anything else y’all do along the bigger YT or maybe eventually network shows. YT is the new TV anyway. Great, great stuff, from one freaky ghoul to others. Keep ‘em coming, pls.
Just my two cents; I think putting the Dead Meat logo in thumbnails for future series like this would help immensely bc I can't tell you how many times I've glossed over these videos because they kinda just blended in with everything else in my feed. As a "Dead Meat" series, it should be branded as such, down to the thumbnails.
I wonder when the exorcist kill count is coming ( I did not see the hannibal rising kill count since I still want to watch the movie)
Friday
fr
Coming this Friday. James mentioned it at the end of the Hannibal Rising Kill Count
Never, only 4 kills.
@@TheRockSocietyOfficialhe’s done movies with less. He confirmed he’s doing it Friday
This was a very fun and welcome addition to the Dead Meat channel. 😀 I hope we get another round of Production Tales From Hell in the not too distant future.🤞
Wouldn't be fantastical to be able to go inside Linda's brain while she was shooting this movie. Like what drove her to go on, so young and inexperienced, and to pull it off? Definitely a trooper but my god, it must have been a trip..
What you would probably think if you went into her brain if you could see you would think how sad it is about her abuse on set. No doubt that poor girl that's all she was thinking about she was literally abused on set.
I got to see an original 35 mm print of the exorcist in theaters for the 50th anniversary. It was really cool and what was even cooler was a before the movie, they asked how many people hadn’t seen the movie before and a good chunk of the audience rose their hands. so there were a lot of genuine reactions. It was the closest thing to seeing this movie an opening night I will ever get it’s one of my favorite cinematic experiences.
Read the book last October, and was impressed with how closely the movie sticks to the source. Unlike most adaptations it's practical 1:1 and actually scary
I love that this is coming out before the kill count. At first I was admittedly confused, thought it was the kill count, but I love this series, getting a bit of tea on it before we get the kill count is fun!
Poor Linda was so abused in the making of this film, phisically and psicologically, Hope she's well
I think the money fixed it all xd
Hoping that there’s a second season of Production Tales from Hell cause these are absolutely amazing and Chauncey is killing it!
PRODUCTION TALES FROM HELL IDEA:
Slender-Man (2018)
Although this film is a late example of production hell and itself was a dumpster fire filled with absolute s***, the history of this film’s production is mainly a mystery. From deleted scenes, unused designs and even an abandoned (good) script. I would like the idea of finding out the past of the movie and seeing:
WHAT WENT WRONG?
Despite all the challenges and hell the production went through, the film gave us one of the best theme songs of ALL time.
The song was not made for this movie.
I'm surprised that there's no mention here of Mercedes McCambridge, who provided the voice for the possessed Regan. She was mightily put out at her lack of recognition, and made it very much known at the time how pissed off she was about that.
Fun fact, the posessing demon, pazuzu, wasnt named untill the sequal
Chauncey, you’re doing a great job! Happy to have you as a part of the dead meat family! ❤
The list of potential Directors for this one is crazy: Alfred Hitchcock (He turned it down twice, first to get the rights of the novel and then when the studio offered it to him), Stanley Kubrick (who would only accept if he was let to produce the movie, the studio balked at this) and John Boorman (who turned it down because he thought the story was "cruel towards children", he would accept to direct the infamous first sequel, and funnily enough when he accepted the sequel Kubrick warned him that the only way a sequel to would succeed is if it were to be more graphic and horrific than the original.)
Great look at a very interesting production.
There is one story from the production that rarely gets spoken of, I'd hoped that you might have covered it here but I suppose it wasn't "Hellish" enough.
I found this out through my old boss who worked with Dick Smith, the man behind the make up of the possessed Reagan.
During the early pre-production of the film, the studio wanted to skimp on costs and pushed for the "possession" make-up to be simple blue/green make-up on Linda. Friedkin hated this and (behind the execs backs) got Dick Smith to "indulge his creativity" on the make-up. Smith started with subtle palette changes (first darkening then giving Linda Blair a sickly blue/green hue far less cartoonish than the studio had in mind) before going into the sculpted stigmata and scarification's and later rotting/gangrene like wounds. During a "final presentation" to the studio brass, Smith would bring Blair in with each stage applied. Everything went ok until he bought her in for the final "full possession" presentation. The make-up presented was extreme, with blood running from open wounds and the skin peeling back in places to show exposed muscle beneath (Friedkin later admitted that he'd pushed Smith to go as far as possible in order to get the studio to understand what could be done and that this make-up was never intended for the final film, although something close was used). The execs freaked the hell out. They called for studio security to detain Smith and Friedkin and then called for the police. They were adimant that Smith had actually taken a razor blade to Blair and cut her face and arms. They detained Smith and Friedkin in an office while one exec proceeded to attempt to coach a confused and terrified Blair into saying Smith had assaulted her. When the police finally arrived the execs demanded Smith and Friedkin be arrested and "spoke on behalf" of Blair who was being told to stay quiet.
In the end, Smith and Friedkin were given a chance to explain what happened as the execs were at this point being nothing more than angry Karen's yelling at the officers and even the now truly terrified Blair. Smith proceeded to remove sections of the make-up to show that it was just prosthetics and paint. The execs demanded Smith be fired from production but Friedkin stood by him and said "if he goes I go and if I go so does the rest of the production". Smith stayed, a legend cemented in film History....
And the execs never went to set once during the later production period where Smith's make-up was on show in full.
Yo what a fucking power move by Father Karis's actor. That's a "You got spunk, kid" story if I've ever seen one. Also just imagine you lose an iconic role to some Broadway actor outta left field. I feel bad for him
I know many people don't feel this film as scary nowadays. But i honestly was scared when i saw it, it didn't have jump scares but still it had a sense of creepiness, uneasiness which was enhanced even more due to the score.
I keep my eyes closed when watching horror movies which are not many, this i didn't need to do that but it felt so real like i was watching a documentary. Just my opinion as to what i felt with this movie
The line “I am not kidding” is a reference to when Zoren (I seriously doubt I spelled his name correctly) was introduced for the first time when he spoke about a giant prehistoric shrimp in either Bixby, or New York. Yes I still remember that video, “Tremors” is my Mimi’s favorite horror movie and I love the kill count.
Fun fact: I saw the film premiere in theater, and I believe we lost about 20-30 audience members all the way thru it, either bathroom vomiting sessions or fleeing from the theater. As an aside, on the way home from the theater, we were in the car on the freeway, when all of a sudden "Tubular Bells" came on the radio. We all looked at one another totally creeped out, but ALL of the freeway lights went out at that very moment. So there.
I am absolutely loving this series! Props to all the good folks at Dead Meat for making it. Chauncey, you're a great hostess.
this was the first horror movie my dad saw at he said it scared him to death
8:46 bro hit them with the "he's litterally me fr fr" line
I know these episodes haven't been getting the views of the regular Killcounts but I REALLY hope that you guys keep making them regardless, I love learning more about the movies I love
Keep up the amazing work Chauncey!!! I've become such a big fan of this series!
Minor criticism: Your line readings of these scripts sometime feel a little robotic or like an advertisement. Would love to hear your personality and passion come through a bit more
I agree, I fear Chauncey's got range she isn't utilising. at the moment it all has a very one note almost condescending tone to it and it's been a struggle to relate to. needs more personality, have some fun! it's what the channel is about!
"Kill Count" on Firdays, "Production Tales From Hell" on Sundays. My weekend is complete.
This remains to be the absolute scariest film I've ever seen. Pleeeease give us more Production Tales from Hell and more Chauncey!!
i look forward to watching these on Saturdays! Can't wait to see more from this. Chauncy, you do such a good job. see ya on the next episode.
I was initially a bit hesitant and skeptical about this new series, but it has completely won me over. I’m now stoked when a new episode drops and give it my undivided attention. Really phenomenal job by all the folks involved 👍👍
" the power of Christ compells you "..
Cue the Communion of the cursed by Ice Nine Kills
i really love this new recent category you added to the channel.
The Paul Bateson story gives me chills whenever I hear about it or see him in the movie. I think it's even freakier that you barely even see him, and he's basically a glorified extra.
Jack Nicholson as an actor is second to no one, but I cannot for the life of me imagine him as the gentle, mild-mannered, entirely serious Damien Karras. But then... we'll never know. Perhaps he would have played against what I consider his type. Also, Paul Newman is mentioned in dialogue in both the novel and film (by Damien Karras, no less) so it'd have been interesting to see how they'd have altered that if he'd been cast as Father Karras.
I didn't know Audrey was offered the role, that would have been iconic.
Wasn't Shirley McClain considered at one point??
i love this series so far! i enjoy hearing about not just behind-the-scenes stuff, but the stories of each cast member, director, etc. can't wait to see more PTFH! 💚
Another amazing episode. Congratulations to Chauncey for being such a great, compelling host giving face and voice to this show.
Thank you! Thanks for watching 😄
Incredible video! I had heard about some of these things, but definitely not all of them. Looking forward to the day directors trust their actors to act instead of abusing them to get an "authentic reaction." Anyone can provide an authentic reaction of being in pain when you hurt them, why bother hiring professional actors at all then?
My mother saw it as a child in cinemas and until this day she refuses to skip channels if she knows the movie is beeing shown.
It really saddens me to see that those Production Tales videos do so much worse than the Kill Counts. People apparently only care for simple stuff.
I think some of it is because it’s not James hosting it
Great episode! I still have never watched the full movie due to knowing that the actors were so mistreated. William Friedkin is... Great job Chauncy, I hope this series continues for a long time. These are entertaining, the production is top notch and over all just enjoyable. Even with the content being drab.
I absolutely loved this series James I hope you make a lot more in the future. I love this content it fits perfectly with your channel. Amazing work guys!!
I know people like to think of spooky stuff, but these deaths were literally coincidences. Old age, accidents (i mean, it’s the 70s)
Roy Sheider would’ve been dope as Father Karras .
“ we’re going to need a bigger cross “ 😂😂😂
You’re gonna need*
Can’t wait for more production tales! Such a great show, love the content, the opening credits and Chauncey! ❤🎉
This might already be my favorite series on dead meat. I love the host's personality, the topics are fascinating, keep it up!
God I love these production-based videos. Your team is so talented at gathering tidbits and testimonies that are very human and interesting.
So many BTS videos mythologize the content, and at the end of the day these movies are just artistic productions.
I thought the lady speaking at the start was for a past video, of something for the movie NO THIS IS ACTUALLY DEAD MEAT?!? THIS IS AMAZING!!!
She's been on the podcast a few times and has her own horror CZcams channel.
this is how i discovered that the faith game is heavily based on the exorcist lmao
One of the greatest horror movies of all time!
I have so been enjoying these! I am so excited to see Dead Meat expanding!!
First episode of this I've seen and it's great, will definitely check out the rest. You guys are doing great work on this channel.
Fancy meeting you here
This is hands down one of the scariest movie's ever I watched it back in the day when I was a kid an recently last year watched it. It is an incredible movie that has an iconic legacy. The sequels are a hit an miss liked the 3rd one but 2 was not that good. The newest one believer was okay bringing back some of the original actors. This was an AWESOME watch thanks Chauncey an all the Dead Meat staff loving all the work you guys do ❤❤❤❤
This has been such an awesome and fascinating series! Thanks so much for all your hard work, and I can't wait for Season 2!
Jason Miller was perfectly cast as Karras. He was a former priest
Love the new serie. Thank you Chauncey and everyone else! Best wishes from Argentina
I absolutely love this series! Chauncey is such a great addition to the crew and a fantastic host! Please keep it going!
Loving these videos! Got something to look forward to Friday and Sunday!
II really love these videos. The amount of information being shared with Chauncey's amazing narration is the kind of content I didn't even know I wanted.
Fun fact! Pazuzu was an actual Mesopotamian demon! However, contrary to what the film says, he was known to be a protector of pregnant women, mothers, and children!
First video I’ve seen of this series and I loved it! I’m a big fan of learning about how filming went and this was perfect! Will check out more
Also according to game master himself Stephen Sajdak from the hit podcast We Hate Movies. The priest who got slapped in the movie, was a real priest or got accused of diddling. And where there's smoke
I know this is the last one of this season but how long until we get more this is my comfort show on sundays
I literally wait for these to come out each week like its 1998 and I'm watching Friends! Great job guys!!!!
"It stayed there under the covers with it"... I guess the movie likes to cuddle.
Also, lets just note the fitting irony that Fonda's brother, Peter went on to play the Devil himself 34 years later in the movie "Ghost Rider"... And he fucking killed it in the role.
That’s not irony.
I am really enjoying these Production Tales From Hell videos. Great work by everyone involved! 👍🙂👍 I also find myself giggling at James and Zoran's angry voices in this one. "You don't care?!" 😂😂
I can't wait for the Excorsist kill count ...part2 and The Excorsist: Believer was kinda rushed... But part 3 was directed by the writer William Peter Blatty .!! Brad Dourif should've won an Oscar for his portrayal of the Gemini Killer and will be one of the greatest horror movies as well ..
The Exorcist theme was originally supposed to be composed by Lalo Schifrin (guy behind the theme of Mission impossible and Mannix) but audiences found the piece paired with the film "too frightening" and director William Friedkin reportedly hated it so much, he threw the record across a parking lot
So any prog rock fans will now associate Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield to this film or vice versa
Along with this series, I’ve really enjoyed all of the audio commentary tracks that have been getting released for each of these movies. Just finished downloading the track for The Exorcist so I’m off to go watch it right now 🙂🤮🙂
Thanks for watching and listening to the commentaries. Those were also a lot of fun to make 😂
All these different actors and actresses make me wanna universe jump and see a movie where Jamie Lee Kurtis played Regan
This series has become my favorite dead meet production! I subscribed to Patreon because of it, can’t wait for the next season.
You don't know how glad I was to hear you name the demon correctly instead of calling it the devil
This was so thorough - great job Chauncey and the Dead Meat team
Thank you! Thanks for watching 😄
Why do people ALWAYS go after the actors/actresses that did something the people don’t like? They were TOLD to do what they did by the directors and writers.
This series is wonderful and the production quality is amazing
Jason Miller didn't just act in That Championship Season. He wrote the play and won a Pulitzer Prize for it! The only reason he wasn't a bigger actor is because his playwrighting career was doing so well.
