It's actually more challenging to create a horror series without shock talk.
I really think what hurt the original 'Blair Witch' was the F bomb throughout the script. It was redundant and got tiresome.
Scare me without cursing and then I'm impressed.
It's not that I'm a prude. I have friends that F bomb in every sentence and it gets old.
I agree. While it's perfectly reasonable for one to expect profanities out of the mouth of a demon from the fiery pits of Hell, I think a little goes a long way (a phrase that perhaps William Friedkin hadn't heard). The demon in William Peter Blatty's original novel used it's fair share of expletives, it's true, but, unlike the film, it mostly relied on speaking in foreign tongues, exposing the innermost secrets/fears/doubts of those around it and generally sharing information that could only be known to an (almost) omniscient spiritual force to rattle the nerves of onlookers. Crude language was really the least frightening aspect of Regan MacNeil's possession, and so I think the show can certainly attain a measure of terror without it.
shareIt's my favorite cuss word but only when I'm saying it.

They are demons or adults confronting possessed people... what do you expect them to say?
Oh pussyfeather?
Geewilikers?
