Well, not really. I saw Pt.2(1977), I couldn't find Pt.1 anywhere.

But thanx to some of my friends who highly recommended this,,,I feel like a serious chicken-shit and a big JOKE right now and it ain't funny.

I've neva NEVER slept in my bedroom with lights on, you feel me? That just shows to you how messed up this thing was lol!

Oh my lawd,,,that movie depressed the hell outta me(I admit that I peed on my pants couple o' time during the movie). Sure, I always have a blast watching ol' school scary movies but NOT this one.

I've read the book and I've made my mind not to see that shit,,,when I went to one of my friends' crip,,I saw the movie and I got tempted.

The SCARIEST part is the fact that it was based on some REAL shit!

I'm trying to find the pt.1(1973)!

Did you see the uncut Director's version? It's the one that shows her coming down the stairs backwards. Always scares the shit out of me. I've seen the movie at least 10 times in my life and I still find it one of the scariest ever!!

Oh you've got to see the first one!! That's the one that was based on a true story... the second was just fluff made since the first made so much money.

I remember when this came out... I was like 7 or 8... but I remember the news footage of people having heart attacks and shit at the theatres it was playing in. lol

My wife still refuses to watch it.

Since its SEXY to some women going to see a scary movie with a date lol momma embarrassed the shit out of my father when he took her to see the movie long time ago. Thought they'd had an intimate night in the room,,,instead my mother was screaming like a pregnant women(in the words of my father) he or THEY both hated the movie beocz of that night,,,I could see why tho

Here's a funny yet intersting info I found about this movie:

"The film was enormously popular with moviegoers at Christmas-time of 1973, but some portions of the viewing audience fled from theaters due to nausea or sheer fright/anger, especially during the long sequence of invasive medical testing performed on the hapless patient. Its tale of the devil came at a difficult and disordered time when the world had just experienced the end of the Vietnam War (US troop withdrawal and the fall of Saigon) and at the time of the coverup of the Watergate office break-in (also in Washington, D.C.). Friction developed between director Friedkin and various cast and crew members during production, and there were additional post-production conflicts between Friedkin and Blatty. Other disturbing events that affected some of the film's stars (injury and death) also plagued the production."

Talking about bad timing, huh? lol

My mom used to say she worked with a guy who became an alcoholic after seeing The Exorcist...I have a really hard time believing a movie can inspire an actual chemical addiction!!! (unless of course it's a Meg Ryan movie, but that's another topic altogether...)

man, i love that movie...the book's a lot better, tho'.

Ugh,,,I hate that damn book

Its sooo tense, heavy and scary to the FULLEST degree,,,I couldn't read that shit alone!

kisscamille said:

I saw this in the theater a couple years back and everyone in the theater actually screamed out loud at this part.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I read that book when I was 10.
This is how I looked every night when I went to bed:

Wait a minute... You were torn apart by The Exorcist II: The Heretic?!? That was the lamest thing EVER to go on celluloid!!!

You DEFINITELY need to see part I. If part II scared you, part I will surely make you enter seminary.

By the way, there's a long-time-coming prequel to the Exorcist films due out in 2004 or 2005. It explores Father Kerris' first bout with the demon that possessed Reagan (Pazzuzu, I think).

there is no way that book was written when you were 10... i didn't even think they had printing presses when you were 10...

I recently learned that the vocal talents of Diamanda Galas were used in Exorcist 2...she musta been really strapped for cash, sheesh...

...

ok... so that was funnier than MinniG claiming that they had written language when she was 10...

Anxiety said:

I couldn't say that she didn't deserve the due tho lol no programming, no computer involved? Gotta admit that she was super-impressive!

Can't find the first one? Where the fuck do you live?

Of interest (perhaps only to a theology geek like me). This was the demon depicted in The Exorcist I...


PAZUZU
Iraq
ca. 800-600 B.C.
Bronze
Purchased in New York, 1943

The demon Pazuzu represented by this figurine stands like a human but has a scorpion's body, feathered wings and legs, talons, and a lion-like face on both front and back. Pazuzu, the "king of the evil wind demons," was not entirely unfriendly to mankind. As an enemy of the dreaded Lamashtu demon, bearer of sickness especially to women and children, Pazuzu is often portrayed on amulets used as protection in childbirth. The ring at the top of this figurine suggests that it was such an amulet.

Harlepolis, I've got like three different versions of the first Exorcist on DVD and VHS. If I wouldn't start another war by sending contraband to Qatar, I'd happily send you a copy.

"It's a good day for an exorcism."

As was said before, if you were scared from Part 2, wait till you see part one. A glimpse is in my avatar.

Part 2 is the worst of all of them. Part 3 is also pretty good. But no other horror movie on earth compares to the original. The Shining is up there, but still not even close to The Exorcist. I love the film and have seen it several times and still cannot sleep at night after I watch it. It truly is that damn scary.

And Lammastide, the Exorcist prequel is supposed to come out February 4th (i think) of 2004. It may have been pushed back though. In any event, it isnt too far off.

This thread makes me go watch it again late tonight... All the lights down and the noise way up (for anyone who has the Director's Cut DVD watch in on an high end system, these noises she makes are the most creepy you've ever encountered)...
BTW you gotta check out the first one and be prepared to get the scare of your lifetime when you encounter that microsecond flash of that sexy thing in my avatar...
Or even better, get that Director's Cut for some more sexy flashes...
