Are you talking the NECA bedroom scene with the spinning head?
Yep. They’re calling it a “deluxe boxed set.”
Hey! Welcome to the forum 🙂
Was Eileen the only stunt double? Eileen didn’t do the spiderwalk, it was someone else. Correct?
A contortionist named Linda R. Hager did the spiderwalk, but apart from that Eileen Dietz was Linda’s only other stunt double.
Jason Miller had double for the stair fall.
Can anyone explain exactly which scenes/parts of scenes they used the stunt double?
– Some shots of the BACK of Regan, like hitting the doctor and lifting her dress during the ‘sow is mine’ scene, and grabbing the doctor’s crotch and wrestling him to the ground when they try to hypnotise her.
– Possibly the shot of the crucifix going between Regan’s legs. Conflicting reports on this one, so I can’t be sure. Some of the crew say it was Eileen, but I’ve only ever heard Eileen talk about rehearsing the scene, and Linda talks about actually doing it as you mentioned.
– The very quick vomiting shot you mentioned. They were going to use Eileen for the whole thing, but Friedkin didn’t like the way the vomit sprayed from Dick Smith’s rig, so they superimposed the vomit over a shot Linda pretending to puke (like this).
– At the beginning of the exorcism when Regan spits on Merrin’s face, and again when vomit starts oozing out of her mouth.
– Apparently it’s Eileen when the statue of Pazuzu appears during the exorcism, and that she was wrapped in a body stocking so she look more like Linda (as Eileen was quite slim). Not 100% convinced on this though.
– All the Captain Howdy/Pazuzu subliminal flashes.
It seems like quite a bit but her appearances in the movie would add up to maybe 20 seconds, if not less.
Eileen did mostly behind the scenes work like standing in for Linda while they lit the set and testing special effects.
Just looking for the most affordable option as I’ve got to pre-order the NECA boxed set too.
I’ve never used Amazon before but they seem to have the fastest shipping (Priority International Courier 2-5 days), so I’m leaning towards them anyway.
This movie was just awful.
We meet a guy. Guy meets a girl. Girl poses in odd positions around the house for 5 minutes. The end.
I don’t understand how anyone could enjoy it, regardless of age or film experience. It felt like it only ran for about 30 minutes, yet I was bored to tears the whole way through. Nothing happens, every character is annoying, the camera work is nauseating… save your money!
It’s on my worst of 2010 list, along with the remake of ANOES.
I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed this. The acting isn’t too convincing, especially when trying to believe the two main characters are a couple, but it’s a genuinely suspenseful movie and one of the better modern horrors I’ve seen in a while.
Looks like a problem with updating profiles in general. The avatar uploads fine, but it’s not working when I try and save any settings.
Yeah I know, I loathe TMZ, but this has been reported elsewhere too. It’s also not the first time Blatty has gone through this so it’s not an unbelievable story.
Will anyone actually buy the DVD version? It’s got the exact same features as the TVYNS DVD.
I know eventually I probably will. Can’t help myself. 🙁 Plus my TVYNS single DVD is broken.
The trailer is not all that great quality for 1080p. I tried watching it on my TV and it doesn’t look very good. But you can still see how much more detail there is. Can’t wait to own the actual thing!

Here is a link where the 720p trailer can be viewed. Not full HD but HD none the less.
Man does it look good.
Thanks for that!
I messed around with the URL and found the 1080p trailer. Direct link to the 168mb .MOV here.
