I’m pretty sure that face was used in the movie, as a very poor “subliminal” during the exorcism. See this pic: http://captainhowdy.com/images/Exorcist%20The%20Beginning/etb%20(173).JPG
As for the “bleeding eyes” I always thought they were referring to Captain Howdy, as he has the red under his eyes.If I knew the shipping price, and it was cheap, I’d get the DVD. I also want to get the Steelbook as it’s supposed to have deleted scenes.
They still look to me like they’re supposed to be subliminals.
Do you have a pic of the full menus? They must be different to the Australian ones 😮 we just have flashing hyenas and stuff on the main menu.
I read a review on the steelbook and they said most of the features have nothing to do with the film, including that documentary. I’m still interested in seeing it though.
Hmm I can’t see those faces. Where exactly are they on the screen? and do you remember where the top ones were?
Hmm so you do have different menus! 😮 That’s strange. I wonder why they changed the menus and also gave us the Dominion trailer.
Well if I can find out shipping costs, and they’re not too much, I’ll get a copy. I wouldn’t care TOO much if it wasn’t uncut, since there’s differences between that DVD and the Aussie one (cover art, menu, special features) and it just adds to my collection. 😛
Shipping isn’t bad. I might order a copy soon.
BTW Mike, save for a bit and get the DVD version. VCDs are horrible quality, and it might not even be uncut.
It’s definitely more obvious in the novel, which I also need to read again.
“Honey, who’s Captain Howdy?”“Oh, ya know. I make questions and he does the answers.”
“Oh?”
“Oh, he’s nice.”
Chris tried not to frown as she felt a dim and sudden concern. The child had loved her father deeply, yet never had reacted visibly to her parents’ divorce. And Chris didn’t like it. Maybe she cried in her room; she didn’t know. But Chris was fearful she was repressing and that her emotions might one day erupt in some harmful form. A fantasy playmate. It didn’t sound healthy. Why “Howdy”? For Howard? Her father? Pretty close.
“So how come you couldn’t even come up with a name for a dum-dum bird, and then you hit me with something like ‘Captain Howdy’? Why do you call him ‘Captain Howdy’?”
” ‘Cause that’s his name, of course,” Regan snickered.
“Says who?”
“Well, him.”
As for it being Pazuzu and not just something she made up herself, that all comes down to if Regan was really possessed or not, which can be questioned in the novel but not so much in the film.
She’d been sitting in the kitchen, Chris told the doctors, when Regan ran screaming down the stairs and to her mother, cowering defensively behind her chair as she clutched Chris’s arms and explained in a terrified voice that Captain Howdy was chasing her; had been pinching her; punching her; shoving her; mouthing obscenities; threatening to kill her.
I guess he kinda “glued” to the ceiling and when he pulled away it ripped his skin off. It’s extremely stupid when you think about it. Morgan Creek are dumb.
I guess that’s what the Ouija board/Pazuzu come up with. It’s close to “Howard”, her father’s name, so it was a way for the demon to get close to her.
Well I’d say he would have killed Regan and then.. who knows? Maybe he would have escaped or killed Chris, and then maybe Karras.
There’s a bootleg version floating around, but I don’t know if that’s just a DVD sound rip or something. I downloaded something that was supposed to be it, and it was just music ripped from the dvd.
Pazuzu was forced to leave when Karras died, leaving it open for anyone else to inhabit his body… I guess. So the Devil – or some demons (maybe even Pazuzu) helped the Gemini get in, and they share his body. Or it could be just the Gemini inside, with the demons helping him do things.
I think that’s right, it is all quite confusing. 😛 I am sure it is Pazuzu in the original though. Remember, the demon is a liar.
