[Contest] Win a Screen-Used Prop From FOX’s “The Exorcist”
He is coming.
We’re now one week away from the return of FOX’s “The Exorcist,” which has just two episodes left in its consistently impressive debut season. The first episode in a two-part season finale will premiere on Friday night, December 9th, and we’re about to arrive at the big moment the season has been building to. Pope Sebastian is coming to Chicago, and very strange things are afoot.
Featured in both Episode 9 and Episode 10 are huge banners announcing the arrival of the Pope for a street parade that the finale will center on, and series creator Jeremy Slater was kind enough to provide us with FOUR of those banners to give away to you awesome BD readers. Yes, these huge vinyl banners are SCREEN-USED, and will be featured very prominently in the finale.
Along with the props, Slater has also donated four of the show’s Comic-Con posters, which will be bundled with the banners to form four giveaway packages for four “The Exorcist” fans!
Here’s Slater showing off one of the banners:
All you have to do to enter is fill out the simple form below. On Monday, December 5th, we will randomly choose four winners, so be sure to get your entries in by the end of this weekend.
Also follow @JerSlater on Twitter, as he’ll be giving away more banners over there!
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
