re: #16 Dr Lizardo

You know, The Exorcist was a great film; taut direction, great screenplay, brilliant acting on the part of all concerned. I’d honestly rank it as one of my all-time favorite films.

It’s not a documentary, however.

(I am aware that Blatty based the book on a case of possession and exorcism. Also, I really do wonder how Blatty came to chose Pazuzu as the demon? I mean…..how many people outside of academia who specialize in ancient Mesopotamian folklore had ever even heard of Pazuzu?)

Blatty’s real-life example turned out to be fake, once people started looking at it.

It’s a long read, but worth taking a look. The guy who wrote that article ran a paranormal magazine that covered everything from UFOs to Nessie, but he pretty much exposed the supposed possessed child to be a kid looking for attention.
