One of the most fascinating aspects of The Exorcist blu-ray release last year was the famed Owen Roizman footage from behind the scenes finally being shown for the first time. Never-before-seen footage of cast and crew working diligently in silence (the footage has no sound) to make one of the most famous horror films of all time makes for eerie viewing. Especially exciting for Exorcist fans who had desired such rare snippets for decades.
The footage was ultimately put to use in the documentary Raising Hell: Filming The Exorcist, which was top of the special features checklist for the jam-packed Exorcist blu-ray.
While the Raising Hell documentary itself was a fascinating watch (albeit still second to Mark Kermode’s brilliant The Fear of God), I would have loved the option to just watch the rare footage, without the modern-day interviews inter-cutting between snippets. So, I took it upon myself to cut all of said rarities into one uninterrupted video. You can watch it below.
Jason,
Just repeating from the original blog post … excellent, excellent, excellent! Thank you for sharing your efforts here and doing a smash-up job!

Bravo, Mon Capitaine!  It is so amazing watching the ingenuity of the filmmakers to get the shots they needed to make this landmark film. 🙂

Nice assembly there, sir!
Nice job, Jason. 🙂 I'm doing the same thing but putting all the Making Off footage of a scene together, like this: feature=youtu.be Â

here is my video behind the scenes of the blu ray exorcist! assembled all by myself
Captain, that's a great video! What impressed me the most is it's soundtrack. You must have put a lot of work in it and, for me, it's a great proof of the love you have for one of the greatest movie of all time.
Thanks bursyl. Yes it did take a few hours to put it all together, but I enjoyed every minute of it. Placing those lines from the film on the soundtrack added an eerie quality, I thought. It was painstaking, but it works! Thanks again.

Jason, I know this is the best video of the behind-the-scenes I've ever seen and it will be hard to ever top this. You definitely have the great skills of a professional director/editor/producer. The sounds and music are eerie and often unexpected … just enough to jangle the nerves!
Thanks again for putting together this video!
