A clash of ACC rivals is on tap tonight in South Bend, Ind., where Ian Book and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will defend home turf from James Blackman and the Florida State Seminoles. With a conference to finally call home and stars on offense and defense, the Irish are primed for another 10-win season and a shot at the ACC title game. The Seminoles, meanwhile, are coming off three-straight mediocre years and hope the redshirt junior Blackman and a few key transfers can begin a resurgence.

This fascinating new documentary series examines a number of iconic horror films and explores facts, myths and lingering mysteries surrounding their production, through interviews with directors, cast members and producers who lived through the real-life events at the time.
The series opens with “The Exorcist,” director William Friedkin’s 1973 adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s terrifying bestseller. The film’s early screenings are surrounded by controversy, as reports of fainting theater-goers and mysterious on-set accidents spark debate as to whether or not the film itself is somehow evil.
