    What Regan saw when she noticed the priest’s neck (at the end of the movie) was the Roman collar worn by priests. The sight was reminiscent of Father Karras’s collar and how he had saved her from the possession. That’s why she gave him a hug in thanks.

    This works, just like "Jaws" works or "Alien" or "The Shining" etc. because the filmmakers took the time to set up the suspense and tension, as well as the characters. They built a world and sucked you in and made you feel at home in the environment of the film BEFORE they got around to scaring the crap out of you.

      The first time I watched Jaws, it was tough getting through the first arc of the movie. I was shocked how long it took to show any action or scenes with the shark. But when they DID finally happen, the payoff was so much more worth it. I ended up really enjoying how slow the pacing was up until the 'monster reveal', plus I actually got to learn more about the characters without feeling like they were gonna die in two seconds 🤣

    At the beginning of the film, Father Merrin uncovers the head of a little figurine of the demon Pazuzu, whom he recognized because he had previously exorcised the demon several years before. So then he has a premonition later that another battle with Pazuzu is coming, with the clock randomly stopping and him almost getting ran over by the carriage. So to confirm his suspicions he goes to some old ruins where there is an old statue of Pazuzu and knows for certain when he sees the dogs fighting each other (the dogs of war have been unleashed). The dissolve to Georgetown right after is to show you where this battle between good and evil is going to take place. Father Merrin periodically takes nitroglycerin pills to keep from having a heart attack, which he dies from at the end when the pills run out.

      First off: I really hate this “oh this movie is 99% better than all other movies of this genre” bullshit! I know you’re being hyperbolic, but it’s seriously redundant and arrogant narrow minded idiocy! No single movie is better than the rest, there will always be some that are better or equally scary, so cut that nostalgic gatekeeping shit out!
      Second: the exorcist is, imo, pretty tamed by today’s standards. I’ve watched a ton of horror movies and there’s far scarier movies, even fairly new ones, than this movie. The Woman in Black for example, to this day it still gives me nightmares. REC from Spain is another example and even the Grudge (Japanese version) are 100x scarier than the Exorcist. In fact, I’d argue the Omen is scarier and it came around the same decade as the Exorcist.
      Idk, maybe the hype, craze and pop cultural references and mockery for this movie really spoiled it for me. I never felt that scared by it.

    The creative makeup for “The Exorcist” was done by Dick Smith. One of Smith’s protégés on this was a young Rick Baker, who would become an Oscar-winning makeup artist in a few years, himself. Rick Baker, in turn, trained a young artist named Rob Bottin, who went on to create the special makeup and costumes for “Robocop” in 1987.

    For anyone interested, this film does not signpost anything, nor does it use exposition to set anything up. There is very clear understanding in the things not said or revealed, but it takes a little bit of analysis by the viewer to understand the purpose of each scene. This film is masterful storytelling by Freidkin and he invites the audience to read between the lines. When you begin to understand the subtext, it emerges like one of those 3D magic eye puzzles. Its a beautiful incredible film.

    A few points. It was never the house, it was Regan. If they moved, IT would have gone too. IT had dealt with Father Marin before. The previous experience mentioned. Marin has a very bad heart. He died of that, not the Demon. If a possessed person, the Host, dies, the possessing Entity has to immediately return to (parts south). IT was never going to allow the Host to die, especially before changing to a different Host. Father Karras was strong. He overcame the Demon long enough to end it. Oh, and, those tests earlier were actually State of the Art at the time. This was long before CATs and MRIs.

    The Exorcist is based on a real exorcism performed by Jesuit priests on a Maryland boy in St. Louis in 1949. The priests were from St. Louis University. The diaries the priests kept of the exorcism are in the St. Louis University library and can be accessed by anyone online. In the 1980s, St. Louis University's school newspaper did an interview with the real life younger priest, Fr. Walter Halloran. He had retired by that time. He seemed very down to earth and jovial. One thing he mentioned that got a laugh was, "that kid could spit with amazing accuracy; He hit me right in the eye every time." I had a friend who attended SLUH in the early 1970s. Fr. Halloran was pointed out to him by another priest. "That's the guy who had his nose broken by a kid possessed by the devil." My friend didn't understand what he was talking about until the movie came out a year later. Most Catholics had never heard of an exorcism until the movie came out. The hospital the boy was brought to for treatment was the Alexian Brothers Hospital in St Louis. It has been torn down in the early 2000s to make way for a new treatment complex. Over the years, I've met people who's parents knew the boy from his stay at the psychiatric wing of the hospital. Everyone has a creepy story about the boy during his hospital stay. I take all of them with a large grain of salt but they really are creepy. The psychiatric wing of the hospital was torn down several years before the rest of the hospital leading to speculation some of the creepy stories really must have been true. The medal in the movie Father Damien carried was a St. Joseph medal, the patron saint of families. I would have thought it would be a St. Michael the Archangel medal because he is the imposing angel who does battle with demons and the devil. He is usually depicted with a great sword in hand. Regan pulled the medal off Father Damien while they struggled on the floor. The unprotected Damien was then able to be possessed by the devil when the priest cried, "Take me." When the devil left the real life exorcised boy, he said St. Michael appeared and the the demon left his body. Priests praying in the chapel said at the moment the angel appeared, there was a bright flash and a loud boom in the chapel. Many years ago. a friend actually talked to one of the priests who was in the chapel and he said it was a true story. Fr. Halloran was quite a guy. He served two tours of duty in Vietnam and earned two bronze stars. I was in high school when the movie came out and the amount of interest it generated has never been surpassed. Not even Star Wars.

    It's important to know that there are two main versions of this movie. You watched the 2000 version which adds additional scenes, some of which the writer was upset were originally omitted, although filmed, in 1973. The spider/crab walk is among these scenes not in the original release. The problem was that the wires holding up the stunt person could not be hidden well. In 2000, they were able to take that 1973 footage and digitally erase the wires. It now stands as one of the iconic moments in the movie although it was never seen until 2000. The scene with the psychiatrist where he is grabbed by Regan, they digitally shifted Regan's face before she went and grabbed him. But other than that ( and a couple more demon face flashes) the FX is all from 1973.

No CGI, everything created by hand practically. Air conditioned sets creating frost IN the room and several notable injuries during filming.

    The films in the late 60's into the early 80's were grittier and grimier and were less afraid of having either an unhappy or bittersweet ending, and they focused on a more down to Earth approach to their settings and characters (regular people in extraordinary circumstances). That made a lot of the better made films really excellent. You should check out some 70's classics like "Marathon Man" and "The French Connection." They are superbly acted and can be quite suspenseful and dramatic.

      Those are good recommendations, but it's just an illusion that old movies were better: Great movies are the only ones people still talk about after their time, so they think it was normal when it never was. When those movies were current, people called the 30s and 40s the "Golden Age". And when it was the 30s and 40s, critics thought movies were a wooden, emotionless imitation of live stage because the great stage plays were the only ones people still went to see.

    2) Reagan was possessed not the house so moving wouldn't have made any difference.
    3) Demons are not ghosts
    4) Father Marin's previous exorcism ( the one that took months) was the same demon so this demon knew Marin was coming.
    5) The pill Marin took in the bathroom was Nitroglycerin. He died of a heart attack before Damien came back.

    You should've reacted to this for Halloween😉 It wasn't just a ghost, it was a demon. Father Merrin had battled Pazuzu the demon before which almost killed him and left him with a heart problem. The silver St Joseph medallion was probably left at the excavation site to bind Pazuzu from rising. When the protection was removed it was freed. The fighting dogs was a warning sign to Father Merrin *Unleash The Hounds Of Hell* or *Release the Dogs of War* the battle will soon begin. When demonized Regan pulled the St Joseph medallion off Karras his protection was also removed. Regan was violently raped with the crucifix.

    I can tell you the stories at the theater are true. I saw those reactions all around me 1st hand at the theater when this movie came out. But I was having a different reaction. I was 15 years old (only 1yr older than Linda Blair) and from the moment I saw her, I was in love. So no matter what happened in the movie did not matter anymore. This movie became my favorite movie. I finally met Linda about 10 years ago and the butterflies were still there. ❤☺

The way everyone felt back then was if you go to see the movie, will a demon possess you because it's going against religion? People were crying, a lot of people left after the crucifix scene. I live in San Diego. A few days after I saw the movie, we had a small earthquake in the middle of the night. I screamed thinking my bed was shaking. I put my husband through hell.

    The really scary thing about this movie is that the demon can't be defeated, so it's really the story of what happens when an evil entity destroys lives. As soon as he was in Regan, he knew that her mother wanted to marry the director of her film, even though *her mother didn't even know it herself*. It was basically unstoppable. Everything was planned out from the very beginning, and the demon probably wasn't after Regan, but the priests.

    Regan didn't remember any of the ordeal, but when she saw the priest's collar, a memory was triggered that Damien sacrificed himself for her.. the kiss was for Father Damien. The story was actually not about possession, but the ultimate test of faith of a priest who was questioning his own. Many years later, Linda Blair played an older cop in a movie.In a short scene, her young partner said he wanted pea soup for lunch - she gave him 'the look'... pea soup was used as the vomit in this.

    The author, Blatty, opted for the spectacular ending of the priest becoming possessed and freeing the girl that way. But in the original exorcism on which this book/movie was based, the ordeal took months and the child was eventualy delivered from the evil when given Communion. After that, If my memory serves me correctly, the boy (not a girl) was freed within a week. That is the exorcist's secret weapon. Seems good and evil cannot easily occupy the same space. Something's gotta give.
    But if you want to learn more about the original 1940s exorcism do a search. I know of at least one documentary video made of it. But there are probably many available.

The family lived in Georgetown where this movie is and their boy (about Regan's age) apparently got possessed from his exposure to a nutty aunt who was into the occult. So the exorcim I believe began there but was interrupted for a few months because the family moved out of state (to Chicago, I think, or maybe it was St. Louis, or both). And when they got the Church back involved there was a lot of very creepy preternatural activity seen once the exorcism started back, telekinesis, clairvoyance, etc. But no head spinning. That was pure Hollywood.
