It would be the 74 minute version… and yeah there’s some unheated arguements on why certain scenes were deleted… and even some mistakes admitted by blatty himself on how he SHOULD have written the spider walk directly to tie in to not making a double climax that went on in TVYNS and not in the original surrounding the spider walk… interesting to say the least
The 25th Anniversary of Jaws had the same problem where the 2 hour documentary that originally was on the 20th Anniversary Laserdisc was edited down to only an hour. That really upsetted us Jaws fans, so we started a petition and got near to 12,000 names or so. Universal relented and gave us a new 30th Anniversary edition with the entire 2 hour documentary. I don’t think we can do the same thing for The Exorcist since I think this forum is the only place that is complaining. 🙁
I don’t think it was complaining… I was merely saying it was interesting to see Blatty talking about how he should have written something else in there… don’t get me wrong
Greg,
We are doing a very similar thing here at the turn of the month. 1 November is when we officially start.
Hey Cap’n,
That sounds great! It’ll probably take a good long time though since that is pretty much how it all occurred for the Jaws petition. Time is needed for as many names to get on there as possible. And Uni only relented after they got the list with 5,000 names, then got a new one with double that some time later, and lastly a couple years later with the latest amount.
