I would agree with you on the point about the candle being an unnecessary shot. It might had been from the book. Who knows. The gas leak idea is interesting. Does anyone have more experience with volatile gases? Would it cause a candle flame to behave like this?
Also, candle flames are somewhat unpredictable things. Is it possible for a candle to explode like this inexplicably in real life?
Thanks again Bowdern. Its interesting just from the stanza of how different orthodontic braces looked 40 years ago from today. Maybe Regan’s mom freaked out and sent her for emergency ortho work when the fangs started appearing.
Yes, I agree. The movie had a tremendous impact on me as well when I saw it on video at 15yo at a party. I was rather surprised it did b/c I believed that I was past the point in my life when a horror film could had such an affect on me. I’m surprised your parents would let you watch it at the drive-through at 4 though.
Thanks Bowdern, I see them. I take it that the pix on the left is Blair’s regular teeth and the one on the right is the prosthesis? It doesn’t look to me like she’s wearing this in px 221. Interesting side note though.
Thanks Colombia. I see the pix 221 but I don’t see the “fangs”. I notice the lack of eyebrows though.
LOL. I know where it is approximately, but I do not have a copy of the movie. Myabe I should get one. Thanks for your help.
I’m not saying its here, but this is THE place for TV show episode download.
Its interesting that the Catholic Church lists super-human strength as legitimate evidence of demonic possess when in the film in at least one occasion a physician tries to explain it away. This is the line where he makes the example of the woman with a baby trapped under a car.
In real life stress hormones such as epinephrine or cortisol can cause physiological changes in the body. This can include short duration extreme strength. The problem is that this strength cannot be maintained or the person will rapidly die of exhaustion. (Is this why Regan is sick?)
In any case I don’t see how stress hormone could account for a child (who isn’t a bodybuilder) could have extreme strength that lasted for more than a few minutes per week for instance.
Yes. Its a very common chinese statue. Don’t think its Paz. But maybe this is how the church desecration happened?
If I recall the scene correctly Karras flings himself out the window, bounces and then rolls quickly along the ground before rolling down the stairs. Its quite dramatic!
I know of no biological explanation of how two different personalities within a single entity could have different allergies. On the other hand, stress hormone changes etc. can affect the immune system thus the severity of one’s allergic reactions. I will have to conclude that the stress hormones were what was involved here. Don’t forget that the most common cause of unexplained rashes is known to be stress!
