Soft-spoken and gentle. Blatty is the Bob Ross of the supernatural
Legion was so thought provoking. I was shocked how good it is. One of my favorite books!
Well, William Friedkin died today...William Peter Blatty died in 2017, but I'm guessing Friedkin never appeared on Letterman, so this interview is the next best thing.
The book Blatty's promoting, Legion, became The Exorcist III, which he himself directed in 1990. The studio wanted it to be tied into The Exorcist mythology to make it more marketable, so they forced Blatty to include an exorcism scene at the end, which in retrospect feels very forced and removed from the rest of the story. Still an underrated horror film with great performances from George C. Scott, Jason Miller and Brad Dourif.
RIP to both Williams.
Technically he directed Exorcist III in 1989. It was released in 1990.
I think the studio helped him. I’ve seen both versions and the one released in 90’ is better. The directors cut works as a book but makes for a very anti-climatic end.
R.I.P. William
This is posted today because “Exorcist” director, William Friedkin just died.
This guy is a master!
RIP William Friedkin .. Loved Sorcerer !
I've been hearing how great Sorcerer is for years, so I finally watched it a couple of months ago...WOW! Incredible film...it deserves so much more recognition.
It´s William Peter Blatty in the video.
@@keefriff99 Sorcerer is intense ! Love the Tangerine Dream music 🎶
Rest In Heaven, William 🙏🏻
Or the Cosmic Institute for the Very, Very, Nervous

WP Blatty also co-wrote the 1964 Peter Sellers film 'A Shot in the Dark'
yes he did - it was interesting to see his name come up on those great animated credits
He wrote a lot of stuff.....
Well, that is very fascinating. Dave was one of the few late night talk show hosts who made it possible for everyone to see and hear interesting conversations with fascinating people. You won't get it from any other late night host. I'll tell you that much.
merv and cavett had interesting guests in the 60s and 70s, the latter being a counterexample to your point throughout his entire career
@@graxjpg Yeah, but that was way back when. That hasn't happened since Dave and Johnny retired. Once they retired, everything was all about the celebrities and politics.
@@KungEMuller johnny retired longer ago than his entire career lasted at the tonight show.. more than 30yrs… he was great but conan and craig ferguson both had interesting guests. the latter being comparable to any of the names mentioned in terms of amazing guests.
@@graxjpg True, but I'll tell you this right now. The current late night guys can't even try to do one show without bringing up politics. They talk about politics nonstop. They even talk about politics during the interviews. That's messed up!
@@KungEMuller yeah, it started with bill o’reilly beating colbert in the ratings after dave left and soon after trevor noah and others just started doing half politics half jokes. the only current thing i halfway follow is conans podcast, but im not much of a fan of that format. he does good charlie rose style interviews though.
RIP William Friedkin
To Live & Die in L.A. needs a mention ☝🏻
You're Working For Me Now ..🎶
Like your work, Mr Jessup??@@davidellis5141
I LOVE THAT BOOK! LEGION.
"I believe" ❤
To me it sounded like Anton's drum roll.
I thought it was quite a compelling read....I do not believe in ghosts or any such supernatural beings winging about, b< the book was fun.
Was a great actor as well as a writer
Blatty is a king. I bought ALL his boojs. But on EVP see the filn White Noise, the original one.
I have the The Exorcist on audible, it's read by the Author himself.
@5:25 SPIRIT BOXES do this; pick up voices. @6:30 . I heard it!!!! ❤ Ghost Box Voices.
This guy worked for psychological warfare in the Air-force. Probably helping develop V2K
Yeah, I read the book in the 70s Jr high school as did my mom. Didn't bother me but my mom quit reading it!😂 Know thy enemy.
Nightmare Alley.....
Talk about dead air
----------------------- in all actuality the paranormal phenomenon is .....who wears white trousers w/black socks n shoes .....thanks4sharing
Very smooth liar and good story to sell his books.
Didn't william friedkin produce the last and worst year of the original Star Trek? I could be wrong.
Friedkin never had any involvement in Star Trek.
@@a.champagne6238 well, I did say "...I could be wrong ".
Back when authors could actually get on talk shows. Sigh...
:)
What a crock!
Has an Atheist ever required having an exorcism?
First comment! 🎉
You mess with the darkness, it messes with you. He's not in a good place now.
And why is that? Everything he did he did to bolster beleif in a world full of skepticism. Would God not appreciate that?
