I’m feeling a little sheepish that we didn’t know this until now, but the star of The Last Exorcism, which debuted in movie theatres nationwide on Aug. 27, is a Penn Stater. Patrick Fabian ’87 plays the Rev. Cotton Marcus in the film, which is a horror movie—but one that somehow managed to get a PG-13 rating.
It was Joyce Hoffman, the alumni coordinator in the College of Arts and Architecture, who called my attention to Patrick Fabian. If Fabian looks familiar to you, it may be because he’s been on a number of movies and TV shows—he was a semi-regular on Joan of Arcadia, Big Love, and Veronica Mars and appeared on an episode or two of CSI, 24, and Will & Grace, among others.
The Last Exorcism was No. 1 at the box office its first weekend, and has since gone on to gross more than $40 million (it cost just under $2 million to make). I don’t think it’s in too many theatres at this point, but it’s scheduled to be released on DVD on Dec. 1. You can check out Fabian’s website here and read an interview with him about The Last Exorcism here.
I’m much too squeamish for horror movies, so I’m not sure I’ll ever see this one! If you’ve seen it, scroll down to the comments section and let us know what you think of it.
