It was Mike Oldfield's first album and the first release from Virgin records. Walk into any record store ask for “Tubular bells” or search on ebay. There are many, many copies on there for sale.

I finally got to watch this last night.

Excellent job, a far more satisfying viewing experience than the theatrical cut. Considering what you had to work with I'm amazed at how well it's turned out. Shame you couldn't work the morphing head in there somewhere, but otherwise I doubt it could be done better.

Thanks, perked up a Sunday evening nicely.

I've quoted this here so many times in answer to this question. Here we go again…

Blatty's words on the subject from his 1974 book “Exorcist From Novel to Film”

“Even in terms of my novel, I have never known the Demon's identity. I strongly doubt that he is Satan; and he is certainly none of the spirits of the dead whose identity he sometimes assumes. If I had to guess I would say he is Pazuzu, the Assyrian demon of the southwest wind. But I'm not really sure. I know only that he's real and powerful and evil and apparently one of many and aligned with whatever is opposed to love.”

Can you see it now?

I don't see a picyure either. D; Jagged, what are you using? Firefox, IE, or something else?

Firefox 5 on a Mac running OS X 10.58. It's pretty weird that it's showing up here clear as day, but even the guy that posted it can't see it.

And for my next trick I shall produce monkeys from my butt 😉

Oooh, spooky…

I can see the pic just fine? Or should there be a second one?

The Ouija just acts as an invitation to the demon, not a physical gateway.

You're all barking. Leave the sequel thing alone to die the death it deserves.

Cover was painted by Basil Gogos. Famous Monsters did 2 issues full of drawings by a guy who's name eludes me (I've got them here somewhere) maybe Paul Day or somesuch?

Warner's were very unhappy about it as there was a ban on photos of the makeup at the time. They could do nothing about it though as they were just drawings, but it was evident someone had supplied the artist with stills to work from. Despite his claims he sat through the movie multiple times and did them from memory.

Jaws. An outstanding suite of music.

The original. Watching TVYNS first is a mistake and could diminish your experience of the original.

A big thank you Captain for keeping the place running and ever evolving.

Merry Chrimbo folks

Well I've just scanned through several thousand fonts and so far no luck on either the poster font or the Book/Movie Title font. I'm confining my search to type foundries that would have been in existance in the early 70s Linotype, Monotype, URW, ITC, Berthold etc. But so far no luck. Lots of them are close in one respect or another but no exact matches.

I really would have expected it to be an ITC font if anything.

I'm going to see if I can find an old Letraset catalogue in case it's hiding in their old collection.

Usually when I can't find a font and spend days trying, it turns out to be something really common and staring me in the face.

 

These are close but no cigar.

Monotype Carre Noir is similar to the poster font but the serifs are to large.

Monotype Memo is similar to font used on the book cover and the movie title card.
