I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with the prolific and wonderfully talented author of Children of the Dark, Exorcist Falls, The Dismembered, and so many more...Jonathan Janz is in the house! And we got to talking about demons, the benefit of complex character choices, subverting expectations, Jaws (because it rocks!), and the absolute mastery of Laura Linney in Scott Derrickson's breakout big-screen film: The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
