Watch: Exorcist Director William Friedkin Recorded a Real Exorcism!

Written by Patti Pauley

Remember when I told you readers back in July of this year William Friedkin was supposedly invited to the Vatican to witness and record a real life exorcism? While some speculated, it turns out to be 100% true and the proof is in the holy pudding folks. Legendary Director Friedkin who brought us arguably, one of the scariest and most iconic horror films of all time The Exorcist, did indeed witness the real deal, haven been given permission from a catholic priest called Father Gabriele Amorth who allowed him to film an exorcism on a young woman who has been living in her own hell.

Father Amorth, joined by four other priests alongside William Friedkin performed an exorcism on a woman in her late 30s we only know as Rosa on May 1st of 2016. In speaking with Vanity Fair, Friedkin stated this wasn’t this poor soul’s first rodeo with the priests. This exorcism in particular that the director had recorded, was in fact the ninth for the woman. The first initial exorcism of the troubled woman in Rome began in August of 2015 as in the months prior, ‘Rosas’ behavior became quite disturbing; most notably during Mass.

Her family believes a curse was brought about by her brother’s girlfriend who is said to be a witch and a member of a powerful demonic cult. Whether Rosa’s condition was caused by a witch, a demon, or just plain ol’ mental illness is up for speculation for all who read this. However, one thing is for certain, and that the audio and photos below tell a strong tale of something other-worldly. Friedkin himself brought the footage to a panel of American psychiatrists whose response to the footage floored the director. Instead of them giving the boot, he claims the panel called the footage  ‘absolutely amazing’ and ‘something authentic’.

“I went to these doctors to try to get a rational, scientific explanation for what I had experienced. I thought they’d say, ‘This is some sort of psychosomatic disorder having nothing to do with possession’. That’s not what I came away with.”

 

In the video below, you can hear Father Amorth tell the evil entity to leave Rosa in Latin. She then screams back ‘Mai’ which means ‘Never’, despite not knowing the language. The priest also asks how many demons resided in her, at which the reply was ‘Eighty legions’. Sound familiar anyone? Also, you can hear her say “Io Sono Satana”, which translates to “I am Satan.”

 

 

And I’m off to go say about 343 ‘Hail Marys’.

New Windswept Action Trailer for ‘Twisters’ Will Blow You Away

Published

on

The summer movie blockbuster game came in soft with The Fall Guy, but the new trailer for Twisters is bringing back the magic with an intense trailer full of action and suspense. Steven Spielberg’s production company, Amblin, is behind this newest disaster film just like its 1996 predecessor.

This time Daisy Edgar-Jones plays the female lead named Kate Cooper, “a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better. As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.”

Twisters cast includes Nope’s Brandon Perea, Sasha Lane (American Honey), Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Nik Dodani (Atypical) and Golden Globe winner Maura Tierney (Beautiful Boy).

Twisters is directed by Lee Isaac Chung and hits theaters on July 19.

Football star Travis Kelce is going Hollywood. At least that is what Dahmer Emmy award-winning star Niecy Nash-Betts announced on her Instagram page yesterday. She posted a video of herself on set of the new Ryan Murphy FX series Grotesquerie.

“This is what happens when WINNERS link up‼️ @killatrav Welcome to Grostequerie[sic]!” she wrote.

Standing just out of frame is Kelce who suddenly steps in to say, “Jumping into new territory with Niecy!” Nash-Betts appears to be in a hospital gown while Kelce is dressed as an orderly.

Not much is known about Grotesquerie, other than in literary terms it means a work filled with both science fiction and extreme horror elements. Think H.P. Lovecraft.

Back in February Murphy released an audio teaser for Grotesquerie on social media. In it, Nash-Betts says in part, “I don’t know when it started, I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s different now. There’s been a shift, like something’s opening up in the world — a kind of hole that descends into a nothingness…”

There hasn’t been an official synopsis released regarding Grotesquerie, but keep checking back to iHorror for further details.
