Horrible Trailers #33 - Exorcist 2 The Heretic (1977)

If you're lost for ideas for your next trailer why not simply fast-forward through the entire film in a minute and a half, and add a freaky psychedelic jazz wigout over the top?

  3. That trailer sums up how insane Exorcist II really is. When William Peter Blatty ( author of the original novel and screenwriter of the original movie ) watched a cut of this film, he suggested to the studio that he rewrote the dialogue as a comedy and they dubbed it over the top. He thought that was the only way to save it. Strangely enough they refused.

  4. I remember seeing the commercials as a kid and thinking the film would be awesome mainly because of the music. As for the trailer, the one thing it seemed to be missing was the fuse burning across the screen throughout.
