Wow. I loved "Exorcist III" and "The Ninth Configuration" (even the novel). He will be missed, but his films are still alive.

One of my favorite horror novels. Very sad.

Good Night, William.

RIP.

He has a rare distinction in South African censorship history as both the book and the film of The Exorcist were banned here for many years.
