Blatty implies “then and there” that Karras would have killed everyone in the house he could have killed. He tells the demon, “No! I won’t let you hurt them!” The film shows this when it frames the now-unpossessed Regan framed in Karras’s would-be-strangling hands. Then Karras tells the demon, “NO!” and jumps thru the window. Blatty apparently thought the possessed Karras capable of killing everyone in the house. Blatty has already established Karras’s great physical strength and athleticism, and knows that the reader will look at Karras as doubly-dangerous in a possessed state.
I don’t think a “detailed theory” is supplied by Blatty beyond: “regular Karras = very strong”; “possessed Karras = very strong and very dangerous”.
i was wondering when karras got possessed and hadent jumped out of the window do you think he would have enough energy to kill all the people in the house? Someone said before that most of the time possessed Regan was in a coma state and did little outbursts of physical violence. I mean can someone maybe give me his or her detailed theory on how a possessed karras in a possessed state would do right then and there?
