Ghetto, the 25th version was ENHANCED? I thought it matched this 1997 one to the T (aside from the “old school” WB logo intro), only with special features. 😮

[GhettoExorcist]

It’s fully re-mastered but it’s the same exact cut of the movie.

I am fortunate to own this version. It’s good from a collector’s pov but if you really want a good copy of the original get the 25th anniversary. This version wasn’t enhanced at all and looks very washed out and it desperate need of being remastered.

[ManInKhakiExorcist]

Thanks for clarifying, bro. A hopeless fan, I should know these things! 😛

M.I.K.E.

I really don’t like the colours in the 25th and TVYNS so I’ll always watch the original now that I have it.

[Pagan]

Who cares about a front cover. -.-

[Justin]

No one is talking about the front cover..

[ManInKhakiExorcist]

He’s right, Pagan.

And if I may offer also just this once… Considering how different the versions are in terms of special features and the specific cuts featured, and how relatively affordable and easy-to-find these DVDs are, being FANS of the series the temptation and curiosity happen to be too great to avoid getting all. Hence, we are fans of the series; “fanatics”, if you like.

Heck, I still have a copy of The Heretic. D’oh — AND The Beginning! Terrible as they are, they’re worth revisiting once in a blue moon, meanwhile collecting dust on the DVD shelf (That makes TWO THINGS it’s good for!). And being too lazy to sell ’em or later rent ’em… and who besides me and other fans would actually have it handy to loan out…? Yeah, I gotta own and keep ’em all. I know, truly bizarre and unthinkable. Yeah, I am sick. But life is nice otherwise, and there are worse, worse addictions out there, so… yeah. Do the math. I just had to. 😮

That said, stalking the anyone responsible for these films is a whole different breed of fan, thank you very much! 😛 I just enjoy the movies and novels, where the eyes, ears and brain have much to be digest and enjoy. And even with The Heretic and The Beginning, where one just has to know where to look. 😉 Yes, SICK. 😀

Cheers an’ respectf’ly,

M.I.K.E.

No one is saying you HAVE to. This thread is for the collectors. Or anyone who wants to watch the movie how it originally was, it’s a hard DVD to come by.

[Pagan]

Alright then.

But seriously, do you have to have every version of the movie? Why is that so important?

[Blizzi]

Yeah, I gotta own and keep ‘em all. I know, truly bizarre and unthinkable. Yeah, I am sick. But life is nice otherwise, and there are worse, worse addictions out there, so… yeah.

Amen, brother! 😀

I have this edition and watch it often. It really is the best DVD.

[Greg]

To clarify things even more, is this the version without Friedkin’s new blue tints and blueish filters? It’s the actual original brownish-green colors of the original print?

[Jason Stringer]

Correct.
