The opening line of "The Exorcist" letter mailed on January 29th 1974 borrowed from the newspaper coverage of the 1973 film winning four Golden Globe awards at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California on January 26th 1974, Having won four awards for "Best Film", "Best Director", "Best Supporting Actress" and "Best Screenplay", the Zodiac Killer replied with "I saw + think "The Exorcist" was the best saterical comidy". He then featured a verse from "The Mikado", a British comic opera by Arthur Sullivan and William Gilbert, based in a fictionalised version of Japan. The Zodiac Killer then added what appears to be Japanese style symbolism at the foot of the letter, preceded by a threat. Kevin Robert Brooks "To Kill" is the frontrunner of solutions to this strange array of characters. If the Zodiac Killer watched "The Exorcist" movie, did anything in the film contain Japanese characters that may have inspired him to add these to his letter?
