Agreed, I never believed we’d get to see this footage– and there’s more than we ever anticipated. Bravo Owen for getting a second unit camera behind the scenes, behind Friedkin’s back! Fans are eternally grateful.

Cap,
Have you checked into how rare the 1974 Digest 8mm print is? WOW!

It’s the only one I’ve ever found and I paid quite the price to get it!

My first official copy was the 25th anniversary box set with the lobby cards. You know the one.
Oh yes I know the one! My only regret is that I never got the DVD version of that box set– I only have the VHS cassette.
Justin, I remember buying that DVD before I even had a player! OH, I also have a laser disc (but it’s in storage so I can’t check the year).
Apologies, Father. I glanced over your link-post somehow! Thank God (or Pazuzu?) we have great fans following this film so closely!
HAHA Yes Justin I’ll probably cave. I can’t resist. Plus my 3yo got hold of my 2nd TVYNS copy so I need another backup.
WB have released all the details here.
Oh, OK. That’s a great help, thanks. It’s because Sofia has posted pictures beside each other instead of beneath one another. I’ll go fix it now and it should re-align the thread.
Hmmm, I’m not sure this is the first I’ve heard of there being an issue. I’ll look into it. Any chance of a screen cap? Everything displays perfectly fine for me and the testing account I use.

…do you think ‘Possessed Karras’ would have strangled the cured Regan to death if ‘Good Karras’ hadn’t fought back?
I used to think that, Ceru, but now I wonder… Pazuzu’s aim wasn’t Regan, it was Merrin and, in the end, Karras’ faith using Regan as a vehicle. I wonder if Pazuzu kind of got his way in the end – Merrin died and Karras committed suicide.
I guess this is why Blatty always worried that the original cut of the movie was a ‘downer’, because we never saw Father Dyer meet up with Kinderman and start a friendship before the credits rolled.
But, all the audience cared about was that the demon went away and was going to leave Regan alone. Friedkin was very clever with his editing in that original cut.
An exact list of what sound bites will be used has not been released, BUT the ‘toy’ has been labelled ‘strictly not for children’… so…
