Gee, I don't know. You'd have to post something other than this: http://m.facebook.com/?_rdr#!/…..1569794689

Gee, I have a big collection of creepy little girls in movies, it's weird to read you couldn't think of any besides Regan and Damien boy! :))
 Ivy Templeton- Audrey Rose (even though Ivy is the reincarnation of Audrey Rose she acts as if she's possessed)
ÂÂ
Nicoletta Elmi as Emily in The Cursed Medallion
MarÃÂan Salgado as Susan Barnes in Demon Witch Child
ÂÂ
Candace Hutson as Jessica Wade in Dolly Dearest
   Brigitta Boccoli as Susie in Manhattan Baby
ÂÂ
   Randi Allen as Cathy in Cathy's Curse
ÂÂ
There are others who aren't necessarily possessed but still fit in the creepy little girl category, such as: Jennie Westfield in Death Dreams (tv 1991), Carol Anne in Poltergeist, Flora in The Innocents, Anne in The Others, Jodie Foster as Rynn in The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, Samara- The Ring, etc, etc. 😉
We had a topic about this on The Exorcist imdb message board so I'm just going to copypaste what I wrote there:
🙂
It's novel, novel, novel to me all the way 😀
ÂÂI love that Chris and Regan are based on my idols Shirley MacLaine and daughter Sachi, their relationship in the novel is even more special and has more depth as they can sense each others thoughts sometimes without putting them into words,
I love the mystery of whether or not Regan was possessed and the gradual onset of her possession/illness. In the movie we don't see much of Regan while not possessed, her -pre-possessed- scenes only last about 5 minutes. The Trip to Washington cut scene when Regan asks, “Why do people have to die” and ” Why does God let them” would have added to the horror later on,
I love the subplot on Mary Jo Perrin's witchcraft book that Regan may have read prior to the possession, it adds more creepiness to the story,
All of the discussions about psychiatry, medicine and philosophy are more extensive and fascinating.
I also love that the novel doesn't really answer the question of whether or not Regan was possessed and leaves that door slightly open. Well, obviously she was possessed, we all know that Blatty was writing about demonic possession but his intention was also to leave us in doubt and suspense, I personally love that and find it to be more eerie.
Well… my dream is to see a TV. mini series based on the novel, with someone who looks like Shirley and Sachi MacLaine to play Chris and Regan.
