The Exorcist 3 (Arrow)

[Steedeel]

Just read on social media that some guy who bought the Arrow title ‘Prey’ found a poster card (artwork) for ‘The Exorcist 3’!

Could this mean we are about to get a release finally?

Does not look like there is anything new on here that the Scream Factory disc does not have. If they confirm the Legion cut is from new source then I may double dip

No one cares. Go troll elsewhere.

Personally I love the new artwork. Reminds me of Clock Tower on the PS1.

[JR Ewing]

also original stereo audio.

The current release in the Warners anthology set, is that just the theatrical? I'll probably add this alongside Spetters on the Dec release xmas gift wishlist.

Yup. The Scream Factory edition from a couple of years ago marked the first time the Legion cut had ever been assembled.

[huntauk]

Thanks, I've just been reading up on the 'Legion cut.' I'm in, and looking forward to revisiting the film in a closer version to what was intended.

Ah, I was just about to ask if this'll be worth double dipping but that settles it.
