From a new interview with Marcel Vercoutere that will be featured in an upcoming documentary ‘Below The Line: Stories and Characters from Hollywood’s Golden Age.’

Despite the Blu-ray being packed with everything we’ve ever wanted in terms of rare footage, it’s nice to see photos like these are still popping up from time to time!

Well, the first pic looks like a cross between Regan thumping Karras on the back with her bound fists, and when Karras is checking Regan’s heartbeat with a stethoscope.
Aww, look at little Rags/Pazuzu sleeping, so cuuute!

And the second pic shows Linda having her back damaged, yadda yadda yadda.

Great stuff, as always.

Justin rocks! I love to see anything someone sneaked behind the scenes. I especially enjoy the pick on Tumblr with Father Karras (von Sydow) rehearsing with Blair without her makup on. You posted that on September 7.

Justin, when is the document coming out and do you have the interview you can scan in?

Father Bowdern

Yes … this one is edited. If you haven’t click on “The Exorcist on Tumblr” link under Justin’s posts, it’s well worth your time. Justin has an incredible knack for capturing video clips at just the right moments. Look at the September 6th postings and you’ll see what Justin does with the bed scene. Naughty and extremely clever! I peed just a little from a laughing so hard. 😉

Here’s the video: http://vimeo.com/14812735

Not sure when it’s coming out but I’ve contacted the uploader and asked for some details!

That’s actually one of the animated backgrounds from the new official site: http://theexorcist.warnerbros.com >> on demand.

Justin,

Thanks for these updates. I wish I had time to surf, but you’ve found two gems. Let us know if the uploader shares more information. I would loved to have been in the cab when Vercoutere, Smith, and the cabbie played around with the spinning head dummy in NY. Just standing on a corner or walking in NY when the dummy drove by would have made me crap by pants.

Now please tell me, doesn’t that animated background screech of another phallic symbol? It doesn’t matter if you created it, it’s the fact that you found it! Bravo!

I never saw it until you mentioned it! lol 😀

[fatherbowdern]

Yeah, phallic symbols appear throughout the film or at least that’s what the media pinpointed in certain scenes. In particular, the posts on Regan’s bed when they are wrapped in padding during the exorcism scenes got some heat here in America when it first ran in 1973 and on. Honestly, I still struggle with finding a post that looks like an penis that I often laugh at what the media suggested.

But that animation you found wreaks of a big one and the film Titanic! 🙂

Superb as always, Justin!
