These look fantastic! Welcome to The Exorcist Fansite! Might want to post this in the correct forum, though? More visitors check THE EXORCIST (ORIGINAL) forum more than any. This one is reserved for pointing out problems with captainhowdy.com
Interesting topic.
I think Pazuzu would have wiped the floor with Karras in a matter of minutes if he tried to perform the Exorcism on his own.
The advice Merrin gave him definitely helped (“The demon is a liar”, etc.) and just the way Pazuzu ripped through Karras’ weakness toward the sight of his mother was evidence enough.
I think if Karras performed the exorcism on his own, both he and Regan would have died.
I actually say this one a lot to friends and family:
“I love to talk film; to… critique…”Also, the way Kinderman says “Oh I know, I realise…” to Chris in her kitchen before going on about the fungus and penicillin.
Whoa! I agree, this is a Parallel Image, and I always thought it WAS listed in the section, along with the gentleman with similar whited out eyes as possessed Regan. My bad,
New-look Parallel and Subliminal sections coming soon!
I agree with SLAM234 here – I’ve always believed Pazuzu yanked that subway moment from Karras’ mind and used it to mess with him once their paths crossed.
Wow, Justin – amazing work. The top animated gif is probably the best example. I still believe they did an awesome job concealing the wires, I guess because I’m like most, I was too engrossed in the story to be looking for things like this.
Guys, this thread is getting a little too personal… It’s great that we’re passionate but please don’t make personal comments toward people. Keep it on topic.
Granted, technically there is no subliminal imagery in The Exorcist – technically.
However the ‘flashes’ you refuse to call subliminal have been called that for decades now, right or wrong. People come here looking for those ‘subliminal’ images they’ve heard about that appear in The Exorcist (because yes – some people miss them when they watch it), and I want them to be easily found on the menu. So it’s as simple as that.
It’s nothing personal at all – in fact I agree with you – they are NOT subliminal images – but I am not changing my menu name to reflect this, nor do I feel this simple site should have to try and change how things are referred when talking about The Exorcist. Warner Brothers still call them subliminal images – so does Friedkin, if I recall.
And honestly, they are close enough to subliminal to be incorrectly labeled as such.
I still haven’t had any worthy suggestions for an alternative – so the menu stays as is. I still have no intention of changing it.
