Post Mortem with Mick Garris

Horror lost another titan - the bold and talented William Friedkin passed away this month. Known historically for directing the "scariest movie ever made" THE EXORCIST (and many others), Friedkin pushed horror from the outskirts of cinema to the absolute forefront of the worldwide zeitgeist. His contributions to cinema were genre shattering and to honor him Post Mortem will be re-airing two of his conversations with Mick Garris: his the un-aired Z-Channel 1979 interview from the Fantasy Film Festival and an interview from the original television version of Post Mortem with Mick Garris. Rest in Peace, Bill!
