Academy Award Winning Horror; The Exorcist vs. The Silence of The Lambs

As horror fans, we're used to seeing our favorite movies passed by at the Academy Awards. Oscars are very rarely rewarded to the films that scare us, but on this week's episode of Nightmare on Film Street we are talking about two movies that could not be ignored. Join Kim and Jon as they discuss William Friedkin's eternally terrifying The Exorcist (1973) (https://nofspodcast.com/what-an-excellent-day-for-an-anniversary-10-fun-facts-about-the-exorcist/)  and Jonathan Demme's creeptacular The  (https://nofspodcast.com/behind-the-screams-the-true-killers-that-inspired-the-silence-of-the-lambs/) Silence of The Lambs (1991).
