I have no idea why the last few weeks of Someone Else’s Movie have been so horror-heavy; maybe it’s just where we are culturally right now? Next week’s episode will be a break, though it does feature a filmmaker who’s just made her first horror film, so … I don’t know what to tell you. Enjoy the ride, I guess?

This week offers no ambiguity, however. My guest is Gigi Saul Guerrero, a dyed-in-the-bloody wool genre enthusiast, and on the occasion of Hollywood Suite premiering her Into the Dark episode Culture Shock last night, she’s here to tell the story of falling in love with William Friedkin’s The Exorcist at far too young an age. I think you will dig it, as the kids say.
