Billy Crawford In the “Howdy” Makeup,
A diifern’t face, but stays true to the original design.

Yeah, that’s a Dominion scan from Fangoria.:p

Aha. So close. 😉

Blizzi, that pic is actually Billy “Cheche” Crawford in the “Howdy” makeup, silly. It’s a pic taken from a Fangoria issue from the summer of ’04; not Dietz. 😛

But while I’m at it, let me further push my theory that the differences in facial features seem to implicate the “Howdy” in Dominion could in fact be a different demonic entity than the one in the Friedkin film, since each yields a different eye color for its possessed organisms (humanity and hyenas get red instead of yellow).

I just wonder why they got Crawford to wear the makeup for the dream sequence when Linda Blair didn’t do so in the Friedkin film’s Captain Howdy sequences; why him instead of a different actor, I wonder.

I think whether it was purposeful or done out of convenience, Crawford’s portrayal of Howdy, while brief, is quite effective.

I suppose this could be one of the great mysteries gone unsolved because nobody but the hopeless fans — speaking for myself, mind you — scratch their heads in wonderment.

Seriously, no NERD emoticons for me? 😛 I am sorry, as a writer myself, and as a fan, I’m trying to make sense of these apparent anomolae. 😛

M.I.K.E.

I haven’t seen Dominion. 🙁 *Gasps!* I’m workin’ on getting it though. 😛

Blizzi. 😐

When I first saw this picture in Fangoria, I was thinking and hopeing that Cheche would actually become this during his possession.

I don’t know… I think Eileen Dietz’s nose was different…
