Shows Merrin’s strength against what he already knows about the demon. Plus, he’s old as dirt and has been through a lot … a little putrid vomit won’t kill him … but his heart will.

My fav scene is when Karras is kneeling down at the foot of the bed, and the bed is banging on the floor – the look on his face and in his eyes always gets me. It’s like he finally believes all that is happening is real.

It’s real! It’s real! 🙂

My wife and sister-in-law thoroughly enjoyed TVYNS when we all watched it last Halloween.

Sis-in-law went “Eeeugh” at the shot of Regan post-vomit, right after Karras wipes the green stuff from his face.
She also gave a hearty laugh at Kinderman’s embarrassed “I lied, it’s for me” line. It’s one of a few lines in the film that offers some much-needed light relief amid the dread and the tension.

As for the wife, well, she agreed that the story really was about the mystery of faith, like Friedkin keeps stating.

She also made a comment when Dyer hands the pendant back to Chris in the car: “But wouldn’t that bring her bad luck?”

Oh, and the clothing designer in my wife LOVED all of Chris’s outfits! That’s something you don’t hear, is it? “What do you remember about The Exorcist?”
“The outfits Ellen Burstyn wore!”

LOL, Ceru!
