A Killing At The Box Office

  • Explicit

    1973 - The Exorcist

    30 OCT 2021 · "What a wonderful day for an exorcism." In the very first episode of A Killing at the Box Office we go head to head with the king of demons himself. Is this really one of the scariest films of all time? Is Pazuzu really Satan, or just an edgelord troll? Is Regan Macneil really possessed, or is she just gay? And what's with that cop who keeps asking priests to go to the movies with him? 'The Exorcist' is a 1973 William Friedkin film based on the novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty. Its release shocked, horrified, and delighted audiences in equal measure and forever altered the landscape of big budget horror. Charles and Saro cover the film's cursed production, its controversial reception, its legacy, and whether they think it deserves its place in the horror hall of fame.

Charles & Saro wanted to talk through the history of horror so they've decided to track down the most successful horror film at the box office from 1973 to now.

From the dawn of 70s horror with exorcisms and chainsaws, to the 80s reign of Freddy and Jason, the 90s cleverness of silences and screams, the cold 00s scares of Jigsaw and J-horror to the full circle return of Pennywise and The Warrens in the 10s. We break them all down from their creation, their impact and the little details that made them the defining moments of horror of their time. There will be love for some old favourites, laughing at dated camp and spicy hot takes of sacred cows we will lead to the slaughter.
