Agreed.

I’d really love to see anything and everything, lol.

[Justin]

Yeah, I have the original paperback version. Haven’t had the time to read it yet though but I think Sof has.

[Justin]

The only one I’ve seen (and would love to get my hands on..) looks exactly like this, and has both The Exorcist and Legion screenplays.

[Justin]

The music is by Penderecki. 😉

[Justin]

Yeah, that’s a Dominion scan from Fangoria.:p

[Justin]

.. edited back into the film:

Couldn’t find any better music, but if you have any suggestions please post them.

[Justin]

The music is from the 25th anniversary soundtrack (Suite from the Unused Score to the Exorcist – Lalo Schifrin).

Good points there, Mike. But just remember, the next scene is Merrin’s dream … which contains Mr. Howdy himself.

That brings me to the theory that the *essence* (probably not the right word, but I’m sure you understand what I mean..) of Pazuzu is free to roam around the minds of his prey/the location where he is ‘trapped’, and is basically harmless until completely unleashed.

( And maybe, since the whole lion headed/wings/tail etc thing is pretty hard and somewhat silly to imagine, maybe the Captain Howdy face is only what our minds capable of conjuring up? )

With that said, I would have loved to be able to dub Kessel’s voice over the “… hey Priest?” part instead of just lowering the tone to sound evil, but unfortunately there’s no clips of him saying that. But.. replacing Howdy with Kessel , while fitting with the novel, just isn’t scary – and that’s the whole point of this scene – to up the creep factor – yeah? 😀

There’s always room for any other missing novel scenes, that maybe are in The Beginning. Ideas?

[Justin]

Yep, this is definitely the best version of the film. Watched it the other day after not having seen the film for about a year. It’s how I remember first seeing it on VHS..

The blue tints are really horrible, I can’t stand them.

[Justin]

That’s actually possible – a bit – but it still doesn’t look too good. 😛

[Justin]

Will try and have a crack at them over the weekend. 🙂

[Justin]

Here’s a direct link to the file:

Just rename it to whatever.flv 😀

[Justin]

YouTube is still processing the video. Should work soon..

[Justin]

Great, will be nice too see it in good quality. Too bad about the subtitles basically in the middle of the picture, though. Why couldn’t they put them at the bottom lol?

BTW I doubt I can remove that paper Sof, it’s too big.

[Justin]

Yeah that pic would have been taken when they went and saw it together.

I’d love for a hi-res copy of that trailer, too. 😛
