Every movie is better with a great jump scare.
After being cast aside by many horror fans for many years, William Peter Blatty’s 1990 sequel The Exorcist 3 finally seems to be getting the respect it deserves thanks to a just-released Collector’s Edition Blu-ray from the fine folks over at Scream Factory. The Blu-ray has encouraged many to revisit the film or watch it for the first time, and it’s been pretty cool to see all the love being spread around the community. Between the release and FOX’s “The Exorcist,” it’s a damn good year to be a fan of the franchise.
Of course, the single most iconic aspect of The Exorcist 3 is that nightmarish jump scare involving a nun and a massive pair of shears, which you no doubt remember. It’s widely considered to be one of the scariest movie scenes of all time, and you won’t find us arguing with that; if nothing more, it’s certainly one of the most well-executed jump scares in horror history.
Likely fresh off a viewing of The Exorcist 3, artist Richard Wells took to Twitter earlier today for a fun little Photoshop project that saw him inserting that scissor-wielding nun into various different movies. Films like Rocky (above), Into the Wild, Oldboy, and The Darjeeling Limited were terrorized by Wells, and we got a huge kick out of the silly project.
Said Wells:
It’s true that I’ve spent a portion of the afternoon improving movies with the addition of an EXORCIST III jump scare…
