    I received my new issue of Entertainment Weekly and it’s the photo issue that includes one article called “THE THINGS THEY CARRIED”. It’s about famous props used in famous films, one prop featured is the cross used by Regan, just the cross is featured, so you get a nice pic of it. So if you want to see it, it’s on page 82 if you should be at a local newstand. The EW website doesn’t feature this one on their site. I might have to dust off my scanner and just scan the pic to show my fellow Howdians.

    Thanks for the tip! Parenthetically, I wonder why they changed the cross in the film from the cross in the novel. The novel’s crucifix was “bone-white”, while the one used in the film was a much more standard black-with-metal-corpus – which was the kind most usually used by nuns and exhibited in Catholic schools…

    When you read it with the bone white description, it’s more visual. Especially when you know the cross is going to be very bloody. So picturing that visual in the book, you get a better image in your mind when reading that passage. In the EW article, some of the crosses were made out of rubber by Marcel Vercoutere so that Linda Blair wouldn’t hurt herself or others around her. Marcel owns the actual cross that was used in the movie.
