		It should come as no surprise to anyone that William Peter Blatty, the Oscar-winning writer of The Exorcist, is full of surprises.
		In person, Blatty is a stale, crusty guy who rarely cracks a smile and lives up to the stereotypes that old men are set in their ways and that writers are socially inept.
		Still, the author was deeply committed to promoting the recent re-release of his beloved film, and to the restoration of 12 minutes of restored footage despite objections from the film's director, William Friedkin.

		However, Blatty maintained that some five copies of the diary existed - including two within the archives of two separate archdioceses - and that he did eventually read a copy of it, although he did not reveal where he had obtained his copy.
		Blatty made his directorial debut with "The Ninth Configuration," winning another Golden Globe® award for the screenplay adaptation of his novel "Twinkle, Twinkle, Killer Kane."

		William Peter Blatty's seminal novel of demonic possession took the nation and much of the world by storm when it was published in 1971, and the movie adaptation of The Exorcist ranks as one of the most famous horror movies of all time.
		Despite all of its religious and demonic attributes, I believe Peter William Blatty's novel is a deep look inside the heart of man as he attempts to make sense and keep the faith in the face of the sometimes revolting human condition.
		William Peter Blattey ingeniously uses a terrifying backdrop such as the demonic possession of an innocent young girl to convey the importance of keeping one's faith in God and the goodness for which God stands for.

		A curious side note is that Blatty also directed and wrote the screenplay for the movie, and I have to wonder what he prefers when comparing them.
		Kinderman is merely a tool in which Blatty spews his worldly wisdom and philosophy, which, in of itself is a good belief, however, this is not the space for that kind of information.
		Blatty clearly thinks Kinderman is a genius creation; you begin to suspect that Blatty created this character as a self-portrait, and lets him drone on purely out of narcissism.

		Based on William Peter Blatty’s novel about a young girl possessed by a demon and two catholic priests who perform the rite of exorcism, the film was a bonafide box-office smash and helped launch a whole series of devil and demonic possession films (including many from Italy).
		Things become even more interesting when Kinderman learns of a catatonic patient who’s been in the psycho ward for the past 15 years—a patient who’s recently awoken and bears a startling resemblance to Father Damien Karras (Jason Miller, reprising his role from the original film), who was dead at the end of the first film.

		What can I say about William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist, other than it is one of my favorite horror films of all time?
		I remember first seeing this film when I was about 10 or so (I know, shame on you Mom!) and being scared to death when I realized I was sitting up in bed just like Reagan did before she did the 360 degree turn of the head!
