The Exorcist Murderer

from Autumn's Oddities Hosted by Autumn Grube

The film The Exorcist has no shortage of lore surrounding its production. Strange deaths, injuries, and accidents plagued the film, but perhaps the most terrifying thing that happened on set was a scene that included a real-life killer. Paul Bateson killed at least one man and confessed to killing many more, but was he a serial killer or was he looking for a reduced sentence?
