I think the second and the third idea definitely don’t belong in a fan-cut. And neither does the first, for “Captain Howdy” never had anything but DARK brown or black-colored eyes in the Friedkin film; fan-cut editors ought not break any of the rules Friedkin’s film set forth, thus following in Paul Schrader’s shoes of intent. The yellow, demonic (ie. demon-like) is useless on the demon. We already know the demon is the demon; he can’t possess himself. The yellow-eyes look is strictly a characteristic manifested in human beings who’ve become full-on possessed by the demon.

Note: The red-color look of possessed beings’ eyes in Dominion doesn’t bother me that much, for who’s to say red can’t imply Satan Himself possessed so-and-so whereas yellow-eyes represents possession by a mere demon or Pazuzu. Or maybe the red is just an African continent symptom of possession, whereas North Americans get yellow.

Anyway, I think the red or yellow in characters’ eyes are there so that the demon/devil can more easily frighten and worry the humanbeings in its vicinity.

M.I.K.E.
