Episode 224: The First Omen Filmmakers Arkasha Stevenson and Tim Smith and The Exorcist (1973)

Scarred For Life

This week we're joined by Arkasha Stevenson and Tim Smith, the director and writers of The First Omen, the prequel to The Omen! We chat about Possession, working with Nell Tiger Free and so much more before digging into their horror histories and finding out why The Exorcist terrified them growing up as well as why religious horror continues to be popular decades later.
