@ericsierra-franco7802 im quite aware of that I cut my sentence off at the..when i was having a discussion my intent was to say the various artist but cut to Mike..I was saying good call to a youtuber was all but ty for pointing it out people do typo or get distracted but we know you know what I was attempting to type..ty
the old father Merrin (he only was 44 years old) , was the 3 eyes Raven in "Games of Thrones", he was also in "Star Wars". He died in 2020 at the age of 90.
The theme tunes from 'The Exorcist' and from 'Halloween' are different, and composed by different people. The 'Halloween' film theme tune was composed by the film's director, John Carpenter.
You have been prepared for this movie because of all the imitations, since 1973. You have had emotional cushions. You have seen zombies, more vampires, more monsters, and very cheap scares. This movie has always been on a different level because it's played realistically. We saw lots of scary movies back then but not like this. People were walking out and fainting in the movie theaters back then. It happened to a kid and it made parents very scared.
I have a take.. Pazuzu actually felt cheated Father Merrin died naturally and it couldn't take revenge. It looked more bewildered and depressed in a way.
Fun fact: the voice of Pazuzu ( the demon) is given by actress called Mercedes McCambridge...BTW the movie is rewarded with academy award (oscar) for sound efect,..wich include a actress voice also....beside that the movie had a nine other oscar nomination which is unique in history of horror movies...
Happy Halloween! This was the same Demon that almost killed Father Merrin long ago. It wanted a rematch. At the beginning of the film, Father Merrin was doing an archeological dig to find out as much as he could about the Demon. It was able to possess Reagan because she was playing with the Ouija board. Now for the scary part - 'The Exorcist' movie and novel were based on a real story.
We don't need demons from horror movies to frighten and destroy our souls , today we have the super wealthy elite, degenerate , overlords of this world to do it for us . This is just old school, BS entertainment for us to them seeing as they don't believe in God , the Devil or Hell just themselves and their wealth . Funny how old school religion is a joke to them , so are we as they see themselves as gods on Earth and so do most others who worship them because of the immense weath that they have. An atheist's turn on !!
The actor who played the old priest... Merrin, was only like 44 when this movie came out. Also, there were two prequels released in the 90's I think, can't remember which one I saw (one was apparently so bad, it had to be re-shot), but it went into Merrin's battle 30 years earlier with the same demon that possesed the young girl in this movie. Also, for anyone who is a fan of the old Honeymooners tv show or Smokey and the Bandit... the actor who played the young priest was Jackie Gleason's son in law and father of actor Jason Patric.
Actor, Max von Sydow aka Father Merrin was transformed into elderly priest in his late 70's to early 80's by legendary special makeup artist, late great, Dick Smith and his staff. Max actually lived to be 90 years old until 2020. Jackie Gleason's grandson is Jason Patric whose birth name is John Anthony Miller III with Jason Miller, his father was John Anthony Miller Jr. Jason Patric is well known for 1987's The Lost Boys with Keifer Sutherland.
The musical piece, "Tubular Bells" was composed by Mike Oldfield in the 1970s and used for this classic. Other movies have borrowed it but this was the first movie to use it. The theme to Halloween is totally different. That was composed by John Carpenter, the movie's director.
The Exorcist" stands as an enduring landmark in the horror genre, captivating audiences and critics alike over the years. My appreciation for the horror genre has grown with time, and this film, directed by William Friedkin, has played a pivotal role in shaping my understanding of its power and potential. Beyond its reputation, which often includes references and parodies, "The Exorcist" continues to unnerve and unsettle me, even years after my initial viewing.
the priest who suggested Merrin and the priest at the end were both Jesuits in real life and the younger one taught Phillip Seymore Hoffman in High School
In the first scene where the mother speaks Greek in her apartment,the mother says:" this is my house and I'm going nowhere. During the exorcism scene, possesesed Regan uses the mother's voice and says in Greek:" You're very tired,go to your bed."
An overlooked achievement of the makeup is the fact that Von Sydow was *44 years old* here. He went through the next 47 years becoming the old man we see.
Yes amazing transformation and also he was a phenomenal actor and managed to portray the actions and movements of a much older man. Von Sydow had such a great range, I must admit that my favourite performance was as Joubert the assassin in Three Days of the Condor.
@@AMBatty Kudos to the makeup artist of Linda Blair too. He took a little girl with one of the most angelic face you've ever seen and made her look like a complete monster.
Ketty had the right answer to Lia's question! Father Dyer saw Father Karas's hand moving, so he knew Karas was still alive and could receive the Last Rites. Karas sacrificed himself while the demon was in him, so he saved Regan. Linda Blair (Regan) is active on social media and goes to horror cons. She recognizes the historic nature of this film and her role in it. She was also in Exorcist II, but that movie is a hot mess, lol. It's absolutely bonkers, but it is entertaining. Exorcist III is just a really good drama that follows the characters Lt. Kinderman and Father Dyer from this movie (but played by different actors). There is very little of the supernatural in it, but there is some great dialogue and one classic jumpscare.
and if I recall correctly (been a long time) III had a cameo from Father Karras and the demon who had jumped into his body before he jumped out the window explains that it took it years to revive the body and dig itself out of the grave.
And that's the last time anyone ever ate pea soup. In Exorcist III, Father Karras is alive and living in a cell at an insane asylum. The sequel, Exorcist 2: the Heretic is completely worthless and silly. But The Exorcist III is directed by the author of the original book, and worth a watch.
It's noteworthy that the movie assumes Catholic Christianity is true; which was the intent of the original novelist, Blatty, who was a devout Catholic.
@@gdiaz8827Christianity is true, with or without Catholic priests! The girl opened herself up to demons by playing with a oiuja board. It doesn't matter how young somebody is, if they play with that thing they can get taken over and possessed.
Lay off Christianity and or Catholicism. I'll take Christianity over the lying historians and archeologists, coming up with bulls*** like dinosaurs or the Holly cost
at what point in the film or in the book is it reveled that the astronaut died on a mission? It is nowhere in the novel, and is also never mentioned in the film.
The astronaut is one of the main characters in the book Twinkle, Twinkle, Killer Kane, which was made into the film called ninth configuration. The astronaut has a crisis of faith in which he doesn't go on the mission to the moon.
Linda Blair did "The Exorcist 2" and the priest in the movie played by Richard Burton, helped her and was not killed. The second movie was all about her confronting the demon that possessed her before because she was still being tormented by it. They even go back to the house where it all happened. No one will say it's a sequel. Number 3 doesn't have Regan in it, it's about what became of Damien, good movie.
The final scene of Lt. Kinderman befriending Father Dyer was added for this expanded version. It sets up "The Exorcist III" (1990) nicely as these two (played by different actors) are the main characters there.
John Carpenter, the director of "Halloween", also wrote theme music to the movie. The one who did the music for this movie is Mike Oldfield, the title of this song is, "Tubular Bells", which I believe was a hit for him, I know it was played a lot on the radio back in "73". You can look it up online for the live version of it as well, it's pretty cool.
Glad you ladies had each other for support while watching this groundbreaking shocking film. I was nineteen when my buddies and I saw this in 73. Some individuals had adverse reactions in theaters across America, fainting, vomiting and running out.
Out of all the movie, that scene at 30:07 haunted me when I ushered the rerelease of this movie in the late 1970s. I was tasked to remain behind after the matinee to clean the four theatres of the Quad Cinema and I always dreaded entering the one that played The Exorcised convinced the projector would turn on to reveal that scene and Regan speaking directly to me. That may seem weird but in a darkened theatre, the mind wanders.
Fun Fact: At the end the Detective mentions "Jackie Gleason." (who was a famous comedian back in the day here in America) ..Jackie Gleason was Jason Miller's (Father Karras) real life Father 'n Law..They did not like each other..Jason Miller's son is Actor Jason Patric, who also had nothing to do with his grandfather. Evidently Jackie was not a very nice guy, in real life. Patric was in a handful of very good movies back in the 90's. "The Lost Boys".."Rush" and "Sleepers.".."Sleepers" was a really good movie!
Father Damien karras(Jason Miller) you may know his real life son he plays Michael in the vampire movie The Lost Boys!! Both are handsome and great actors!!
The medallion worn by Father Karras is of Saint Joseph and the baby Jesus and offers him protection against possession. When Regan tears it off his neck at the end it enables the demon Pazuzu to leave Regan's body and enter Father Karras' body.
St Joseph is supposed to protect us from falling into the hands of our enemies. But what I don't like is that faith in Jesus should be enough to beat these demons. Karras may not have had faith. But Merrin had absolute faith These movies, basically anything out of Hollywood refuses to give victory to Jesus Christ. They'll let any and every superhero win against their enemies. But not the ultimate superhero
I have a Halloween dog kerchief just like that one for my dog. ** Another version. What you watched is the "Director's Cut", an extended version. In 1973 certain scenes were cut for the theatrical release.
@@warriorpitbull1170I like Viki too but she won’t always be here in reactions, same goes for Ellie and all the other girls, I’m just happy they’re still posting new reactions and I love them for that
1° What they find is not a coin, but a medal with Christian images. That is why they are surprised that it appears in a site several centuries older. 2° This film is the film adaptation of a novel of the same name, which in turn is based on a TRUE STORY.
I actually feel kinda bad for the girl with her hair up, she seems like she is genuinely trying to watch and understand the movie, not so much giggling and talking through it. Oh, btw, this movie is actually based off of a true story. There's so much you'll never know when your mouth is always open and not your eyes and ears.
the Demon was Pazuzu ,king of the wind demons , Regan sat in the chair in a trance with her hand up as that's the way the figure of Pazuzu did. Regans room was windy . Merrin had confronted Pazuzu before and it nearly killed him. Ellen Burnstyn , who played Regan's mom when slapped by her daughter , really hurt her back when she was pulled too hard by a cable attached to her. Her scream was real
1. I was 13 when I saw this in the theater with friends. What rating system they had at the time wasn't really followed that closely. By word of mouth, I was aware of the head spinning, vomiting and language but what freaked me the most were the demon flashes.😱😱 2. When the doctor is looking at Regan's skull x-ray and says, "Nothing in there" I always🤣 3. The spider-walk down the stairs was NOT in the original release. 4. The loud banging with the medical equipment is for dramatic effect. 5. Father Merin and the demon/Pazuzu had a previous encounter where he almost killed the father. Merin doesn't acknowledge the receipt of the note and tells Karras there's no need for analysis. 6. Chris MacNeil/Ellen Burstyn actually broke her coccyx when the demon makes her hard fall. That wince of pain is the real deal. 7. The first priest Karras admits his lack of faith to/Tom, was a real priest. 8. The demon doesn't kill Merrin. From the beginning we know he has a heart problem most likely brought on by the previous encounter. 9. Karras doesn't kill the demon. He does manage to draw it out of her and sacrificed himself for her. 10. Karras is confessing and asking for forgiveness for his loss of faith. 11. RIP Willian Freidkin😇
The Exorcist is still the most disturbing and shocking horror film ever made. Even after Texas Chainsaw. Even after Alien and The Thing. Even after Saw. The trauma of The Exorcist still works so well because of the slow burn. We grow to really care about Chris and her daughter, Regan. So when Regan starts abusing her body and transforming into this monster, we feel it just like Chris.
I'd like to think if I ever had a daughter that I would use Burke's voice question as her ringtone. It would 'ring' and I'd reply with before answering, she dented the car, didn't she?
Yes, there are at least two versions of this movie. The original theatrical release and the director's cut (which features the spider walk down the stairs and a few changes here and there.)
You watched the Directors Cut that was reissued in 2005. Friedkin went back and added at the screenwriter William Peter Blatty's request more scenes that were originally edited out of the 1973 release. Both versions are equally terrifying, some prefer the original, some like the revised re-release.
When the detective was talking to Damien about how Burk DIED, why would you say, "How could anyone survive something like that?" It wouldn't have been said if you were actually paying attention. You should've already known that Burk's dead and that's why the detective was asking Damien questions about his death. Another reaction, where people are too interested in talking instead of knowing what they're watching.
Posessing someone isn't like riding in a car. You can't just leave one and get into another just like that. There are rules that we ignore and that, even if we knew them, it would take a long time to explain.
Snuck into a Drive-In theater and watched this movie when it came out. I was 8 LOL...............🤣😂BTW the pills the priest kept taking are Nitroglycerin for his heart. There was at least 2 versions. When Regan comes down the stairs that means you are not watching the theatrical release. I think it is a special edition.
I was concerned about the addition of Ketty to my fantasy Bulgarian harem. Before her, there were 7 Bulgarian ladies in my harem, one for each day of the week: 1) Michelle; 2) Ellie; 3) Lia; 4) Viki; 5) Trixy; 6) Magy; 7) Laura. Seven beautiful ladies. Seven days of the week. Perfect. So, what was I to do with an eighth lady? Then, I had a stroke of genius: I don't have to limit the number of ladies to the number of days in a week. I can just bump the day up for the eighth lady: Monday = Michelle; Tuesday = Ellie; Wednesday = Lia; Thursday = Viki; Friday = Trixy; Saturday = Magy; Sunday = Laura; and then, the following Monday can be Ketty. Then we repeat, one day incremented: Tuesday = Michelle; Wednesday = Ellie; Thursday = Lia; Friday = Viki; Saturday = Trixy; Sunday = Magy; Monday = Laura; Tuesday = Ketty ... In fact, maybe, just maybe, I could accommodate 2 ladies a day. It just goes to show that with some creative thinking, all problems can be solved. Welcome aboard, Ketty. You are in my fantasies.
Hello! Here I have some suggestions for later. 😉🎦 -PAY IT FORWARD (2000) -FLUKE (1995) -MY SISTER'S KEEPER (2009) -AIR BUD (1997) I hope you watch at all of them. Greethings from Argentina!!!
You watched the director's cut. The theatrical version doesn't have the ''spider walk'' sequence or the conversation between the Fr Dyer and the detective at the end.
turn this reaction on at 19:10 and you will think this is a full blown comedy. I said to myself.....those smiles will be permanently removed later, they have no idea.
The music is Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield. It's not the same as Halloween, but they are similar. That record not only launched Oldfield's career but was also the first big hit for Virgin Records, starting it's owner, Richard Branson, on his way to owning an airline and a space business. Saw a video on YT once where a guy told a funny story about the book on which ths ifilm was based. In the early 1970s, he was working in an office in Brighton, on the south coast of England. One of the guys in the office was reading "The Exorcist", and he was getting freaked out by it. He was having nightmares, hearing odd sounds in his house, and starting to believe that people in the street were following him or staring at him. The people in the office just though he nuts though and laughed at him Eventually he came in one day and said, "right, I'm getting rid of this bloody book! At lunchtime I'm going to go down to the sea and throw it off the end of the pier!" Come lunchtime, he picked up the book and strode determinedly out of the office. As soon as he was gone, the guy telling the story went out to the bookshop around the corner and bought another copy of the book. He brought it back to the office, put it under the tap in the sink until it was soaking wet, and then put it in the book guy's desk drawer. The book guy came back at the end of the lunch hour, looking please with himself, and declared that he had indeed thrown the book off the pier and it was gone now for good. Then he settled down to get on with his work. then about ten minutes later, he opened his desk drawer...😈😈😈🤣😂😅

Objects do NOT offer protection! That is a crazy Catholic superstition! Only the BLOOD OF JESUS covering believers gives them protection!
@agemoth if u want to listen to protestant lies go ahead but u are wrong.
St Joseph is supposed to protect us from falling into the hands of our enemies. But what I don't like is that faith in Jesus should be enough to beat these demons. Karras may not have had faith. But Merrin had absolute faith
These movies, basically anything out of Hollywood refuses to give victory to Jesus Christ. They'll let any and every superhero win against their enemies. But not the ultimate superhero
but Pazuzu isn't a Christian demon?
@@gdiaz8827 I'm wrong am I? Based on what? Your Popes? 😂
I have a Halloween dog kerchief just like that one for my dog. ** Another version. What you watched is the "Director's Cut", an extended version. In 1973 certain scenes were cut for the theatrical release.
Your intros never get old and welcome back Lia this movie always traumatizes a lot of people in the theater.
when my grandma saw this in the theater when she was young,
& a woman behind my grandma vomitted all over my poor grandma!
Saw this in the Theater and EVERYONE kept yelling DON,T OPEN THE BEDROOM DOOR!
*At least now people can stop the rumors that Lia left the channel.*
True, although now people can’t stop asking about Viki
Lia is busy in university
I'm happy that Lia is back and that she's doing well. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we were very worried.
busy in university
GROUP REACTION is back! I just watched you react to this last night and I loved your reaction to it, so so good seeing a ll of you back!!❤❤
Yeah, but where's Viki?
@@dennisdrozdov1424 idk but they have a group reaction again so I’m happy either way!
It's not the same without Viki.
@@warriorpitbull1170I like Viki too but she won’t always be here in reactions, same goes for Ellie and all the other girls, I’m just happy they’re still posting new reactions and I love them for that
1° What they find is not a coin, but a medal with Christian images. That is why they are surprised that it appears in a site several centuries older.
2° This film is the film adaptation of a novel of the same name, which in turn is based on a TRUE STORY.
I actually feel kinda bad for the girl with her hair up, she seems like she is genuinely trying to watch and understand the movie, not so much giggling and talking through it. Oh, btw, this movie is actually based off of a true story. There's so much you'll never know when your mouth is always open and not your eyes and ears.
Lia, I've been wondering where you've been!! So glad to see you back.
busy in university
the Demon was Pazuzu ,king of the wind demons , Regan sat in the chair in a trance with her hand up as that's the way the figure of Pazuzu did. Regans room was windy . Merrin had confronted Pazuzu before and it nearly killed him. Ellen Burnstyn , who played Regan's mom when slapped by her daughter , really hurt her back when she was pulled too hard by a cable attached to her. Her scream was real
he's taking Nitroglycerine pills for his heart
Those pills suck I had to take for a short while
Four charming and handsome women reacting to "The Exorcist"? HALLELLUJAH!🎵👼👼👼👼
1. I was 13 when I saw this in the theater with friends. What rating system they had at the time wasn't really followed that closely. By word of mouth, I was aware of the head spinning, vomiting and language but what freaked me the most were the demon flashes.😱😱
2. When the doctor is looking at Regan's skull x-ray and says, "Nothing in there" I always🤣
3. The spider-walk down the stairs was NOT in the original release.
4. The loud banging with the medical equipment is for dramatic effect.
5. Father Merin and the demon/Pazuzu had a previous encounter where he almost killed the father. Merin doesn't acknowledge the receipt of the note and tells Karras there's no need for analysis.
6. Chris MacNeil/Ellen Burstyn actually broke her coccyx when the demon makes her hard fall. That wince of pain is the real deal.
7. The first priest Karras admits his lack of faith to/Tom, was a real priest.
8. The demon doesn't kill Merrin. From the beginning we know he has a heart problem most likely brought on by the previous encounter.
9. Karras doesn't kill the demon. He does manage to draw it out of her and sacrificed himself for her.
10. Karras is confessing and asking for forgiveness for his loss of faith.
11. RIP Willian Freidkin😇
The Exorcist is still the most disturbing and shocking horror film ever made. Even after Texas Chainsaw. Even after Alien and The Thing. Even after Saw. The trauma of The Exorcist still works so well because of the slow burn. We grow to really care about Chris and her daughter, Regan. So when Regan starts abusing her body and transforming into this monster, we feel it just like Chris.
The music is by Mike Oldfield from Tubular Bells.
I haven't seen the girl on the right before, did she say Katy? Ketty? When did she join?😲
Her name is Ketty and she joined about midway through September as she’s a really good friend of Michelle
she just joined, because Lia (girl 2) is busy at university now
The "spoons for ice cream" line is funny too !😅
You should look into the true story behind the movie.
It's scarier than the movie
I'd like to think if I ever had a daughter that I would use Burke's voice question as her ringtone. It would 'ring' and I'd reply with before answering, she dented the car, didn't she?
Yes, there are at least two versions of this movie. The original theatrical release and the director's cut (which features the spider walk down the stairs and a few changes here and there.)
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.
Sounds like it was at it a while before getting it right. Also--"he"?
You watched the Directors Cut that was reissued in 2005. Friedkin went back and added at the screenwriter William Peter Blatty's request more scenes that were originally edited out of the 1973 release. Both versions are equally terrifying, some prefer the original, some like the revised re-release.
LIA HAS FINALLY RETURNED!
When the detective was talking to Damien about how Burk DIED, why would you say, "How could anyone survive something like that?" It wouldn't have been said if you were actually paying attention. You should've already known that Burk's dead and that's why the detective was asking Damien questions about his death. Another reaction, where people are too interested in talking instead of knowing what they're watching.
Posessing someone isn't like riding in a car. You can't just leave one and get into another just like that. There are rules that we ignore and that, even if we knew them, it would take a long time to explain.
when Jesus exorcised a man he sent the demon into a group of pigs wich quickly drowned themselves
Which led to zombi pigs and the dreaded zombi pigs in blankets.
@@blairhaffly1777 womp, womp, womp...
Snuck into a Drive-In theater and watched this movie when it came out. I was 8 LOL...............🤣😂BTW the pills the priest kept taking are Nitroglycerin for his heart. There was at least 2 versions. When Regan comes down the stairs that means you are not watching the theatrical release. I think it is a special edition.
Father Merrin was taking nitroglycerin for chest pain.
A true masterpiece of terror, to be seen alone, not with four parrots who do not stop talking throughout the film.
luisalbertocall the ones watching by them selves are much more interesting
@@timothywait9457 No, these ladies are very interesting.
I was concerned about the addition of Ketty to my fantasy Bulgarian harem. Before her, there were 7 Bulgarian ladies in my harem, one for each day of the week: 1) Michelle; 2) Ellie; 3) Lia; 4) Viki; 5) Trixy; 6) Magy; 7) Laura. Seven beautiful ladies. Seven days of the week. Perfect. So, what was I to do with an eighth lady? Then, I had a stroke of genius: I don't have to limit the number of ladies to the number of days in a week. I can just bump the day up for the eighth lady: Monday = Michelle; Tuesday = Ellie; Wednesday = Lia; Thursday = Viki; Friday = Trixy; Saturday = Magy; Sunday = Laura; and then, the following Monday can be Ketty. Then we repeat, one day incremented: Tuesday = Michelle; Wednesday = Ellie; Thursday = Lia; Friday = Viki; Saturday = Trixy; Sunday = Magy; Monday = Laura; Tuesday = Ketty ... In fact, maybe, just maybe, I could accommodate 2 ladies a day. It just goes to show that with some creative thinking, all problems can be solved. Welcome aboard, Ketty. You are in my fantasies.
Yeh, I don't like pea soup either.
Hello! Here I have some suggestions for later. 😉🎦
-PAY IT FORWARD (2000)
-FLUKE (1995)
-MY SISTER'S KEEPER (2009)
-AIR BUD (1997) I hope you watch at all of them. Greethings from Argentina!!!
This was not the movie for the four of you to watch. The crucifix scene was the Red Wedding of the early 1970s.
Yall are very good to your dogs! I admire that!
Sometimes yall miss the good parts cause of talking. Pay attention 😂😊
"Is this like a real thing?"
*crickets*
LOL!
You watched the director's cut. The theatrical version doesn't have the ''spider walk'' sequence or the conversation between the Fr Dyer and the detective at the end.
The soundtrack is Tubular Bells from Mike Oldfield girls
turn this reaction on at 19:10 and you will think this is a full blown comedy. I said to myself.....those smiles will be permanently removed later, they have no idea.
LIA IS FINALLY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
I recommend you watch "The Possession" from 2012 and "REC" from 2007 and "Don't knock twice" from 2016. These movies are very great horrors.
The music is Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield. It's not the same as Halloween, but they are similar. That record not only launched Oldfield's career but was also the first big hit for Virgin Records, starting it's owner, Richard Branson, on his way to owning an airline and a space business.
Saw a video on YT once where a guy told a funny story about the book on which ths ifilm was based. In the early 1970s, he was working in an office in Brighton, on the south coast of England. One of the guys in the office was reading "The Exorcist", and he was getting freaked out by it. He was having nightmares, hearing odd sounds in his house, and starting to believe that people in the street were following him or staring at him. The people in the office just though he nuts though and laughed at him
Eventually he came in one day and said, "right, I'm getting rid of this bloody book! At lunchtime I'm going to go down to the sea and throw it off the end of the pier!" Come lunchtime, he picked up the book and strode determinedly out of the office. As soon as he was gone, the guy telling the story went out to the bookshop around the corner and bought another copy of the book. He brought it back to the office, put it under the tap in the sink until it was soaking wet, and then put it in the book guy's desk drawer.
The book guy came back at the end of the lunch hour, looking please with himself, and declared that he had indeed thrown the book off the pier and it was gone now for good. Then he settled down to get on with his work. then about ten minutes later, he opened his desk drawer...😈😈😈🤣😂😅
Great to see you all back together, and WELCOME ketty, great to have you here as the new homie!.
The demon is paxuxu,from ancient sumerian.the medicine the priest takes is nitro gyserin for his heart.
6:30, no, they are two different themes
The Halloween theme song is quite different from The Exorcist.
Father Karras returns in The Exorcist 3
I'm pretty sure Father Merrin had a heart condition and the pills he took was something like nitroglycerin
its a different song than Haloween. this is called Tubular Bells
Pills are nitroglycerin/ nitrostat, for heart attack emergency.
where did Vickie go?????
YES LIA IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Priest was giving him the “ last rites “
The Demon's name is Pazuzu. He is the Mesopotamian demon of the wind and storms. He brings drought, famine, and locusts.
I had to aleast stop in to say Wow, it’s Leah😉Hello there, I’ve not seen you in a while🍁Hope you’re doing well and have a Nice day and this movie is a Trip so good luck and take care. You look Amazing as always❣️Hello Ladies🎃
I loved the "Opa".
Fun fact: this is based on a true posession.
Dont get too comfortable....in your bed.
Director's cut vs Theatrical.
@30:08 This is my phone Screen Saver 😅
37:03 I'm with Elie😫
There are prequels to the exorcist that tell the story of father Merrins first exorcism not quite as graphic but still not bad movies... Oh I'm making a big pot of pea soup interested? 😂
Happy Halloween 🎃 Ladies ❤❤❤❤, Great Reactions Everyone
