AT THE END CREDITS, THERE'S A NEW CREDIT FOR A MUSIC TRACK, ANYBODY KNOW WHERE IT WAS ADDED IN THE NEW VERSION? I NOTICED THE HEAD TURNING SOUND EFFECT IS NOT THAT NOTICABLE DURING THE EXORCISM SCENE. THE OLD VERSIoN , YOU CAN HEAR THE NECK CRUNCHING. DURING THE MASTERBATION SCENE, THE CROSS ENTERING THE PRIVATE AREA SOUNDS MORE LIKE A STABBING SOUND LIKE IN THE MOVIE PSYCHO. Any thoughts on this subject. THE ONLY THING I NOTICED IS EVERYTHING IS MORE BRIGHTER, ESPCIALLY IN CLOTHES. ALSO, REAGAN'S POSSESSED FACE , YOU CAN NOTICE MORE THE BLACK AND BLUE BRUISES ON HER FACE. THE BLOOD IS BRIGHTER AND NOW I CAN SEE THE DENTAL WORK OF THE STUNTWOMAN WHEN SHE COMING DOWN THE STAIRS WITH THE BLOOD FLOWING. I ALSO NOTICE THE MAN HIDING IN THE BATH TUB DURING THE EXORCISM SCENES. JUST KIDDING WITH THE MAN IN THE BATHROOM. GLAD THIS BLURAY VERSION IS OUT, THEY COULD'VE ADDED THE SCENES WHERE REGAN AND CHRIS ARE WALKING AROUND THE MONUMENTS. HAVE ELLEN BURNSTYN DUB THE LINES AND A UNKNOWN GIRL READ THE LINES, ADD SOME SOUND EFFECTS AND MUSIC, NOT HARD TO DO. MAYBE NEXT TIME. SHAME ON YOU WARNER BROTHERS AND WILLIAM FRIEDKEN. CATCH YOU AT THE EXORCIST FACEBOOK PAGE.
I noticed the music in the commericials/trailers also and would like to know who the author is. Could it be one of the Jack Nitzsche, Lalo Shifrin, or Pendrecki pieces? Perhaps it is part of Steve Boeddeker's score from the 2000 re-release or Les Baxter's scene transition musical scores? I'm not sure about George Crumb's string quartet playing Black Angels because that is devoted to the spiderwalk.
I know it appears in theexorcist.net trailer right after Regan says, “You're gonna die up there.” Honestly, I really enjoy that musci and probably have it on my PC. It is one of the most powerful changes to the film if you are quite familiar with the film's score from both 1973 and 2000.
Where's our music expert?
Yes on those sound effects, especially if you have true surround for the 6.1 audio output! I'm very pleased to see they tuned up and tuned down some features from the audio track.
Also, “the dental work” on Hager is a silver filling for a cavity located in the upper left-hand molar. You can see it on a post I put on here a while back.

Perhaps the monument scenes could be added in full as an aside feature on a future release, but I never want to see them included in the film. The Extended Director's Cut is bad enough. The Original Theatrical Cut is, and always will be, superior. The pacing is so precise, it's a shame less people will bother with it and go straight for the 'spiderwalk cut'.
Cap, BRAVO! You're the man on the Original Theatrical Cut … it is and will always be the quintessential version! Which should lead me to question myself about, “Why do I actually give a shit about the fucking spiderwalk versions?” To go a little further, I guess I'm adding a topic that seems to interest some individuals and opens up a conversation, a dialogue, about a piece of film history that is not such a “case-closed topic.” None of us participated in the digital enhancement process. Why should we repudiate the wisdom of the creators for that particular scene?
