16th of September 1999.	Critically Acclaimed author William Peter Blatty (The Excorcist) will not be involved in the making of "The Excorcist IV".. But he admitted that there is a fourth in Production.. Blatty hopes it never makes it to the production studio because he got a whiff of it and did not like what he smelt.. The interview in Entertainment Weekly also brought Blatty's take on the latest horror films in which he slammed, "The Haunting". Quote follows.. The necessary distinction is that you can't give the audience junk, such as the recent remake of The Haunting, though notice that filmgoers rushed to it on its opening weekend, before they discovered how dreadfully the film had been executed… I have high hopes that the new Haunting has sounded the death knell for today's surfeit of cheesy, unbelievable special effects, especially the endlessly overdone ‘morph.’ Good movies are built around characters, story and language. Lately, it's been, ‘Here are these effects, what kind of story can we build around them?’ (CSO)
