‘The Exorcist’ Meets ‘The Typing of the Dead’ in ‘The Textorcist’
Ever wanted to be an exorcist, but don’t want to go through the trouble of having to do the years of training? Would you rather dodge bullets instead of pea soup while doing your exorcism? Then MorbidWare’s The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia might be for you.
As an added bonus, Ellen Burstyn won’t bug you about her daughter.
Set for release on Steam early next year, The Textorcist puts you as Ray Bibbia, a private exorcist who not only faces off against a demonic outbreak within Rome, but must also deal with his dark and sinful past at the same time. Akin to Sega’s cult classic The Typing of the Dead, you must type your exorcisms with your keyboard or joypad, but must also dodge tons of bullets, dealing with puddles of barf, defusing bombs, singing at the mic of a metal show and more.
Oh, and if you make a mistake, you start all over. Practice makes perfect, as they say!
Clearly, the game is tongue in cheek, but given how amazingly fun Typing of the Dead was (and still is), what’s not to say that The Textorcist couldn’t be as fun or more fun?

Bloody Disgusting and Creep I.E. Con Screening ‘Child’s Play’ with Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent
Looking for a big event to kick off your Summerween?
Creep I.E. Con, one of Southern California’s biggest horror themed conventions, returns for an Aftermath in 2026 — two months earlier than usual! This weekend, the Ontario Convention Center will house over 30 celebrity guests, 170 vendors, and all kinds of tricks and treats courtesy of Bloody Disgusting.
The main event is Saturday night at the Creep I.E. Cinema featuring a screening of 1988’s Child’s Play with stars Brad Dourif, this week’s Emmy-nominee Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent. Note: This is a separately ticketed event within the weekend, so be sure to secure your tickets for the screening and Q&A before they’re all gone.
Beyond the silver screen, Bloody Disgusting will also be hosting panels with stars of the Scary Movie franchise (Tori Spelling, Lochlyn Munro, Simon Rex, Jon Abrahams); return to Spooky World with David Bertolino; take a trip to Woodsboro with Hayden Panettiere; revisit Tales from the Crypt with John Kassir; and go toe to toe with Danny Trejo.
That’s not all. On Saturday at noon PST, we’re hosting an exclusive photo opportunity at our Bloody Disgusting booth with the titular puppet behind Pinocchio Unstrung. Later that afternoon, Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man will be passing out free cold sweets outside at the top of every hour while supplies last.
It all goes down this Friday, July 10th to Sunday, July 12th — at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California. Tickets are selling out fast — in fact, all VIP passes are sold and off the table — so secure your passes ASAP before it’s too late. After all, you don’t want to miss the first real horror event of the year!
