“or did Regan take a crucifix from Dalgren Chapel when she descecrated the statue of Mother Mary?”
Wow, FB… I’ve never thought of that.
In the novel it was implied that Karl put the crucifix under her pillow, though.Thanks, Fatherb. 🙂 Can you check out my newest sims pix of Exorcist novel miniseries ? 😀 I just finished editing the Trip to Washington scene.
xxx“I remember when Chris was stating that the servant Willie told her that she heard Regan in the kitchen in the wee morning hours and Chris was feeling glad because that meant that Regan was getting her appetite back. I think Regan was either on her way to or coming back from a church desecration. What are your thoughts on that?”
The first time Regan desecrated the church was a week before Chris’ dinner party. She could’ve easily sneak out of the house through the basement door – I added a new ending for Chapter 3 on this, actually, years ago –
And , that morning- when she went down to the kitchen awfully early, it was to see the witchcraft book on the table. She, then, brought it upstairs to her bedroom. Remember how Chapter 2 of ‘The Edge’ ends?‘The following morning, the book about devil worship had vanished from the table.
No one noticed.’AllBahianGirl, nice to meet you. I’m always trying to find people who know about The Exorcist novel. Do you have a myspace account? I’ve created a channel dedicated to the novel. If you’d like to check it out, here’s the link: http://www.myspace.com/theexorcistnovel
You know, I never thought that Dyer had doubts about the murderer of Dennings being Karras. The first time I read the novel , I even had failed to pick up on the suggestion that the killer and desecrator might be Karras. It’s just too subtle. Blatty insinuates it in the sequence with Karras on a platform at the top of the steps from which Dennings was pushed to his death (at that point in the story that was the assumption) Karras tells his Jesuit friend that he always tries to make it to the platform around 7 p.m. to watch the sunset, and Dennings was killed at 7:05 p.m.
BTW, The first chapter of the novel begins on April 1st.
Happy Easter, Fatherb and everyone!
Hi, Ron! I haven’t read her book, only the chapter on The Exorcist. As for Linda’s acting, I still don’t really agree with you. Have you seen her in Born Innocent or Sarah T.? She was very good in those movies.
Oh, Ron, when Ellen Burstyn said that Linda couldn’t act, she was referring to the Ouija Board screen test of hers.(Peter Travers book-1974) By the time they were into rehearsals, though, she mentioned that Linda was terrific, and that it was just like talking to her own kid… But, you know, Linda never wanted to be an actress, her heart was always with the horses. She even told Peter Travers that she looked upon the movie as merely an opportunity to buy and raise horses.
Now, Nicoletta Elmi was a remarkable Scream-Queen child actress of the 70’s. She really could act… Watch her in, The Cursed Medallion.. You might not like the movie, but just seeing Nicoletta’acting in it, yblows you away. Or, Patty McCormack in The Bad Seed. Hah! I can’t even imagine Linda playing out that role at only 9 years old…
