This is a FANTASTIC movie and is so underrated (of course it's regarded as a classic, but it has more of a cult status than anything, and will never be popular as films like Halloween/Friday the 13th). Hopefully it's not going to tear my wallet apart (I paid 35 beans for The Exorcist).
I seriously doubt they'll include the censored cut. But this is still more than a year away, so you never know.

Yes, that's the one I meant.

Are they releasing both U.S. and international cuts of the movie or is it one of them?
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la.
Witch, sure, but which witch?
