Participanton the subject of little red riding hood,
i once read a ‘red riding hood’ was a sort of priest and the wolf represented a possessed woman.
i made a half assed search to find a reference page but no luck.
also the ‘batman’ reference amused me because i posted a list of parallells between the gemini killer and the joker.
i wouldnt doubt blatty is a huge batman fan, actually. it would make sense.
good stuff in this thread, thanks for the read.

ParticipantIn the Terry Gilliam film “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” Heath Ledger plays the character of Tony who is discovered hanging upon a divination by Doctor Parnassus involving the hanged man tarot card.
i doubt theres a connection there but ill post it anyway.
apparantly ledger died while filming it three fourths of the way through.

Sacrifice —– Letting go —– Surrendering —– Passivity

New point of view —– Contemplation —– Inner harmony
Conformism —– Nonaction —– Waiting —– Giving upI think I may be taking this too far off track, interesting none the less.
off the topic but the daughter on “Its a Wonderfull Life” was a little girl named ZuZu. which could have been chosen to be in the exorcist due to its similarity to Pazuzu?

well i guess since Im posting anonymously and probably wont be around here long enough to care what any of you think about my story ill share it with you in a condensed version. Im sure it will sound like someone spiralling into the depths of madness and im sure thats what it was but here it is anyway for your consideration. it would take an entire novel to detail it into something coherant so im not sure this is worth anyone’s time except those curious enough to entertain what a random stranger says over the internet….
a long time ago i became very spiritual after spending about eight months alone with no car, telephone, friends, etc. I spent almost all my time outside meditating and reading. I lived in the country and there was a pack of wild dogs i befriended over a few months…
anyway i became very in tune with nature and spirituality. i could talk to animals, i feel the heartbeat of the world. i would often blindfold myself and meditate until i could see the world around me. all that kind of stuff.
thats when the trouble started.
I became reintigrated into “civilisation” and it profoundly disturbed me how people act and treat nature. I saw things that were probably normal for others such as animal cruelty and child abuse and my ability to deal with it was pretty much gone. i remember one guy had a shock caller on his dog and kept shocking it for entertainment with a little remote control… and another time a bunch of chickens fell off of a truck… i remember children coughing while adults smoked right in front of them…
so i became homeless and wandered around for a while. i was super sensitive to the world and the stress of it became too much. i began drinking alchohol to numb the constant feeling of things being wrong.
i was hanging out at this abandoned place with this girl and she punched a window and her hand was bleeding everywhere so i drank her blood. just to see what would happen.i had studied alot of things about magic enough to know it was a terrible idea but i was so fed up with the world around me curiousity took precedence.
Im fairly sure thats where the real insanity started… hahaha at that time i always got terrible hangovers from drinking and despite having drank much more than what was usual i woke up feeling fantastic. much better than usual. i developed a psychic bond with the girl whos blood i drank and although we rarely talked when i was inclined to pick up the phone to call her it would ring in my hand and she would be on the other line. this happened so often i eventually stopped being surprised by it. im not too surprised by much anymore. things that would make a normal person have a nervous breakdown are laughable to me.
well, i dont really know how to tell this story without feeling more embaressed than i already do even behind an online mask.
Ill skip forward a bit and get to the good bit of it…
I was convinced a dragon had possessed me. it happened through a series of dreams. the possession itself seemed to come from a little cat-lizard thing with a long neck and coarse hairs almost porcupine like on its head and neck. it had fangs and was carried in a box by things i see in my dreams i call “erasers”… the gatekeepers that keep you from remembering important knowledge found while in the astral plane. (yes i know i was completely batshit. enjoy this as fiction please.) anyway one this cat-lizard thing was brought by them in a box by the uniformed men in black type people who change shape. after this thing bit me i went through a transformation and my dreams i became a dragon. i pulled out each of my teeth in a bathroom sink and when i looked my face was a dragon’s gaping razor mouth. (i did a life size painting of this actually. it even glows in the dark heheh)
but the interesting part was the limitless strength and energy… I was smarter, faster, and better in every way. everything that had handicapped me from being a spiritual person was reversed and i thrived on my surroundings. i could walk for days without food or sleep and feel completely fine. i had no fear of anything and people much stronger than me were afraid of my aggressive nature.
in the time that followed i became very wealthy and held influence over alot of people. not in a positive way i might add. we became vandals and drug dealers and I became the leader often having girls let me drink their blood for cocaine or whatever else they wanted.
haha… im seriously not making this up.
of course, whatever power it really was left me one day and i have never felt either of those feelings again. its like the good and evil parts of my persona both burnt themselves out and now im in some duldrum of apathy towards everything. and like this ive stayed for the passed ten years.
the way it left was i felt sad about something. if carnality and violence are the way of the demon then passion and love are certainly the salt to rid yourself of that particular slug. of course this didnt happen through anything good but a heartbreaking occurence. I knew when it left and I dreamt of it no more. It was like the passing of a good friend. Not so much a relief as a feeling of being left with no protection.
i drink alot and tend to deny the whole thing ever happened unless im making money off of it. which i do from my hundreds of grotesque horror paintings.
theres of course much more to the story than that but maybe i should save it for the novelisation. heheh
I think the whole world is haunted and theres an ocean of things around us all the time.
Even if it’s not ghosts or spirits it most certainly is cell phone signals and modem lines and televisions. all these things broadcast a signal our mind can probably interpret as language.one way or another i think its possible.
as for me, im completely fucking nuts. dont think for a second anything to the contrary. even if there were any truth to it, it can pretty much only lead into a downward spiral of madness where the foundations of reality are lost in a vertigo funhouse.
hahaha that was fun to write. thank you mister coffee.

Participantim sure im not stating anything new by saying it was blatty and most importantly friedkin that DIRECTED the actors.
most of the emotion was real because he pretty much beat it out of them.
the exorcist exudes a negative vibe because the actors were actually feeling it.
i wonder how many actors after having heard the interviews about friedkin would be willing to run that gauntlet.
I dont think it needs big name actors just friedkins directing talents. lol

ParticipantI totally agree. I enjoy Exorcist Legion much more than the first film actually. It has almost no action or gore imagery but manages to be an incredibly creepy horror film.
I realised the DVD plays on repeat if you leave it in so once I played it for two months straight. You can walk in at any part and the dialogue is hilarious and frightening. sometimes simultaneously.
The first exorcist is the same way, in one light it is terrifying, and in another is the height of comedy.
A remake needs to stay away from jay leno and the tonight show audience to retain a certain anonymity with it’s actors. too much exposure will ruin any horror film.

ParticipantI read the novel in one sitting while listening to GG ALLIN at full volume.
the only part i remember is the psychiatrist talking to her and she said “I am from god” backwards.
Having studied alot of cryptozoology/demonology etc. i thought that made it quite a bit creepier. should have left it in.
Im afraid this series wont have the affect we would wish to have from it. The Exorcist at its time was an incredibly power film but now we have people everywhere subjected to far more obscene content everyday on their home computers.
I do look forward to it though.

Participantyeah if you could find that thread id be interested in reading it.
ive been lurking here for a few years but finally got bored or caffeinated enough to sign up.
a few friends of mine and myself endlessly ponder the exorcist 1 and 3.
i thought mr.ager’s ideas were pretty groundbreaking considering how many times ive seen the films and never made those connections.

It has been posted here before. personally I think it's an interesting viewpoint but ultimately completely baseless.
Mr Ager has too much time on his hands 😉
completely baseless?
So right after her sexually assaulting herself and her mother AND using burke denning's voice the entire burke dennings/ sexuall abuse angle is baseless?
Blatty has said that he talked to real psychiatrists to come up with reagan's symptoms. Rob Ager claims to be a psychiatrist and even offers a book he wrote on psychology from his website.
Im disappointed I took the time to sign up and the only response I got was “completely baseless”
