Let me just share that the images of Pazuzu that they show.... are supposed to be there. There slowed them down so we could see them with our eyes. In the original version the images weren't caught by your eyes but in your mind. That's why people were getting sick and whatnot. This is an intentional subliminal image.
If you watch the restored "Version You've Never Seen Before", you'll see this face make a few appearances. The whole idea of this was that was the face of the demon, and during certain parts of the film it shows up to show you the state of the demon at the moment. (You see this same face during the exorcism itself flashed, and you can tell it's in distress). This isn't subliminal per se, but more of a plot device.
Doesn't Subliminal mean Affecting someones mind without them being aware of it?.. I could clearly see the image when the video was playing normally o.0... I know you said not to say it not subliminal.... But it really isn't...
well the director and crew of the movie said they didnt know where those images was popping up because it also popup when the girl was laying on the bed looking out as if he was scared and also that they filmed in a house that was haunted but i believe it was put there to scare people
@BeatmakerzUp "Pazuzu" is not a reference to an ancient civilization. Pazuzu is an ancient Babylonian demon that brought upon droughts and locusts. So the film is based on ancient mythological history.
well this image IS part of the film. The sublimital image of a face that the producers tried to remove but kept reappearing was NOT shown in this clip....because it IS sublimital. Of course i say this only because of what I learned from a documentary, I don't claim to be an expert on the subject. It is however, a creepy movie; a true horror film dealing with one's psychy!
its abou munipulation its a doctors expirament the demon faces and the music many people lost their sleep and had nightmares its clearly a test for propaganda and i got proofs for that wake up its not the movie that scared you they are controling your mind
@rutoto That's because it's only there in the 2000 re-released edition, called "The Exorcist-The Version You've Never Seen." (Well, if it IS in the original 1973 version, it's only there SUBLIMINALLY, which would mean that, no, you WOULDN'T see it!
there are multiple images in this movie, when the lights flicker when shes in the kitchen look at the stove hood, right after that it will go down the hall to the girls room andpan in on the back of the door demons head will apear also. and in the window peering in from out side
That image also appears when Regans mother has arrived home and she's in the kitchen when the light flicker then go out. Just as they come back on again that face appears just to the right of her head...............creepy
i dont know if its on youtube i cant find it but i remember there being another face when i watched it i think its just before he gets pushed out of the building.
I love that you ask everyone if it's a subliminal message in your title then say "please dont tell me its not subliminal, its for canversation", what do you think the conversations are going to be about, bunch of people saying it IS subliminal?
I just watched the Exorcist. Has anyone ever noticed the evil face that quickly flashes on the oven vent whil the mother is walking through the kitchen??
my friends and i watched the exorcist over 50 times stoned over the summer of 1987 and we would always pause the vcr on the "face" and everytime i felt some sort of uneasiness...the anniversary edition dvd shows all the trailers for it and one is nothing but flashes of faces..its so evil i fuckin love it...my fave horror movie of all time
well i wouldn't consider it subliminal, it's just the face of pazuzu. There are parts of the movie where it appears quicker but I'm not really sure what the technical details of 'subliminal' are.
I'm glad you posted this. I had this image occasionally flash in my eyes while falling asleep for maybe several years (not real often), and when a friend of mine paused it on the VHS machine and made me stare at it, it never happened again. The face is what I'm referring to. There was a lawsuit in the 70's where a guy fell down and broke his jaw when this image flashed into his mind. They couldn't prove that subliminal programming was real, so he didn't win. Trust me, it works.
theres another frame with the face in it when father Carris tells father damien to complete the response while they are exorcising her. The bed is in the air and i believe it is descending to the ground. The face is not a still frame because it moves, but it is the same face. Its at 1:47:40. The tongue is sticking out to the side and the face is writhing. Its crazy looking! I wonder if they paid someone or if it is a frame from another movie. Creepy no matter what..lmao!
It is not subliminal cause too long and even so what message would it be? Appart from the fact that as a human another human face with a bit of make-up can scare the shit out of you ...
William Peter Blatty, the author of the novel and producer of the movie, is a former CIA operative who served as the policy-branch chief of the Psychological Warfare Division of the U.S. Air Force.
According to previously classified documents, the CIA tested subliminal manipulation in movie theaters during the late 1950-s.
@jcgamer107 i agree it is hard to get scared by what is blatantly there something you are prepared for but things that just happen and look like they where placed there for a devious reason can lead one to madness. i found this reminiscent to the old trailers for saw when it just plated the puppet laughing or jigsaw appearing on screen and stating you are playing a game.
@geeter68 Yeah, they did. They added it in for that version/re-release. Also added was the scene where Father Karras talks to Jabba about getting him his money. That wasn't in the original.
@geeter68 it isn't JUST in that version, I'm pretty sure it's in a previous cut but I'm not 100%, because I watched it on TV and saw pazuzu on the stove top and i dont think it was TVYNS
@geeter68 Thanks for mentionning the kitchen one cause I was watching it with a friend and kept replaying the kitchen part to show him the face but there was nothin and he kind of think I was crazy
It's not really meant to be subliminal. Those "death masks" appear throughout the movie in different places. The "Version You've Never Seen Before" makes even more use of them throughout the movie.
This particular scene is supposed to be a dream sequence where Father Merrin watches his mother descend into "hell" (the subway station), using that mask made sense there to help relay that idea.
i was watching this dream with my mum on our dvd and sound up all the way 12:00 in the night and all the ligths off and when the first flash came up i had my ears closed for the rest of the movie lolz
Purposely, those facesm and other creepy shadows were strewn randomly through the film. As a means to cause surprise, fear, and panick. Good try through. : )
I don't remember these parts of the movie, but people here are saying it's not subliminal 'cause you can see it, Noppers! I guess it's meant to be subliminal by putting it for a too short time
Oh my god he is right, you can see a guys house in the reflection and a guy is reading a newspaper on the couch to the right! clearly adertising! ...now to buy the latest daily mail.
It's not a subliminal message. It was put in the movie to scare people....this is nothing new to anyone who's seen the movie, most people see that unless they looked away at the part or something
I think this is arguably subliminal. I've watched the movie with lots of folks over the years, and until the face is pointed out to them, very few of them consciously perceive it. It's not until you freeze frame that most of them are then able to discern it at normal speed.
It is, its filled with "Subliminal"s. They flash pictures of scary things and play pigs squealing, it was a really sneaky movie. Its to heighten your fear and make you get into the movie, people have fainted and vomited etc. from this movies filming.
Forgetting about the silly debate regarding the true definition of "subliminal" - William Friedkin used these images with the intent that you weren't supposed to be able to focus on them clearly, rather you were supposed to get a "what the heck was that?!" creepy response. In that regard, they worked brilliantly. I can still remember the first time I saw this (on network TV back in the 70s). I was alone in the house and I caught that Captain Howdy face... Jeebus, but I was freaked!
I remember hearing about this! The origional Exorcest had that through out the movie and they had to stop showing it because of the face. People were saying it was a subliminal message to get people to worship satan
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this film is the least scary shit ever. its just not scary, maybe to some pussy 40 year olds who never watched a scary movie before, or maybe back in the time it was released when no-one actually understoof the meaning of scary, but i was so dissapointed because i expected to be scared shitless and i laughed all the way through. gay :|
Ok mr. internet tough guy---since you absolutely know what's "scary," it should be easy for you to name a few movies that will scare us 40+ year old pussies shitless.
@Keepsu ummmm first of all, im a girl, as you probably could have easily guessed by my username?
and its getting more and more difficult to scare people because people are becoming immune to what once was terrifying. all i know is the exorcist was shit, and i was laughing the whole way through. i dunno if i missed the point or what, but it was just wtf, they went to far with it and it just got ridiculous.
@Keepsu fucking idiot. that wasnt backpeddling,. i re-read my message about 6 times and i dont see what your seeing.
what i find scary is different to other people dumbass. im fuck scared of sharks so anything with sharks in scares me whereas others laugh. im just saying this film is the least scary shit ive ever seen, and everyone my age agrees with me. stop being such a whigney bitch just because i dont like the movie you like.
Going from "the least scary shit ever" to "the least scary shit I've ever seen" is backpedaling---it's not my problem if you're too stupid to know the difference between objective and subjective claims.
@Keepsu omg LOLOL...sorry i thought i was having a conversation with a person, not an over analytical douchebag xD i didnt even realise i wrote that differently! hahaaaaaaaa okay sweetheart, you win, the exorcist is one of the best, oh wait no, THE BEST SCARY MOVIE OF ALL TIME. there is nothing scarier in existance today, and there NEVER will be. LOL! okay dude, im done, your just making me laugh now xD
@svehenen seriously answer? ...what does that mean? whats all the aggression about, i just said this movie is not scary in the slightest? in the context that i am not a dinosaur who would have found this scary 50 years ago? and shit for brains im obviously a girl (LIKE_A_STAR_BABY) and finally fuck off you sexist cunt.
it is the face of captain howdy. Its is on screen several times in the movie, but its on screen to long to really be subliminal...you always know that you have seen it
The face is almost impossible to miss. It's in there for dramatic effect, it's not subliminal. The audience is clearly supposed to see it! Blatty, who wrote the book, said himself that the images are in the movie, but you can see them; it's not subliminal. All the controversy over these scenes is ridiculous - just paranoia.
I am sorry. I have dealt with too many assholes on Youtube recently and this has colored my attitude. You did not deserve to bear the brunt of my aggravation however, as you are clearly not of the asshole breed. My apologies.
In the original 1973, the picture is played only 1 frame per 21 frames of the film. 21 frames is one second of any film. For the 25th anniversary re-release, they made the picture 'show' on the screen. If you have an original VHS or Beta of the movie, the picture does not 'show', only if you slow the tape down and see frame, by frame, I still have my original tape recorded from HBO in the 80s and it was cool to find this hidden screen and I first read about it. There is also the word PIGS
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I HATE THAT THING IT'S A FUCKER
@Richardatf subliminal doesn't mean not immediately noticeable, rather cannot be processed, consciously, by one's senses. Subliminal messages are supposed to pass by the conscious mind and seep directly into the subconscious.
I see you have thumbs down for this. I have read that SOME of the faces AND the demon statue, was added in the DVD, so some existed and some were added, so those who gave you thumbs down probably remember the few faces from the original...
Well, since this video is for discussion purposes only, for users to start a conversation. Then, you see, Mama Karras was standing there feeling rather abandoned. She was saying, "Teemy, why you do this to me"? "Why Teemy, why you do this to me"? She also felt her style was being cramped because there was a younger woman with a terrible headache, superimposed all over Mama Karras. Meanwhile, Fr. Karras was running as fast as he can because the day was done at the boy's school & he didn't want
to come strut'n by after they were all gone home already. After all, he had already invested quite a few bucks on a bunch of candy. However, the other character, "Count Chocula", was very upset about it. Before being wooed away by all the Karras candy, the school boys used to very much like getting mouthfuls of Count Chocula.
Despite having ran like a gay Grecian Olympian with adolescent choir boys on his mind, Fr. Karras was too late & found consolation in that he would later see Green Girl
the white face mean damien Karras was gonna die, in this point of the movie the father;s mother dies, then he also dies later, on, so its like he follows her after she goes down (the steps) and he also dies falling down the steps
the subliminal message is not the face in the video it is the reflection of a kid filming it and an old bag reading the paper. look very closely at 36 seconds through the vid
i think these lil scary faces things happened to slowly you can easily see them and they kinda ruin the mood of the movie,it'd have been much scarier without them.
the point of subliminal is hat u cant see it but it forces a reaction with your brain that changes it. in the old coke ads they put subliminal messages to make people want coke but later it got banned
This was in the original version of the film. I was 13 years old and it scared the shit outta me then. But, who is the kid taking a picture in the living room, while the old man reads a newspsper ? Chilling !
You say don't tell you it isn't subliminal but it ISN'T subliminal! Like a previous poster stated, you can see it clearly. The fright is it happens quick, it's totally unexpected and damn ugly/scary. But it is not subliminal.
Yep saw it, had to pause a couple of time to catch it.

what i find scary is different to other people dumbass. im fuck scared of sharks so anything with sharks in scares me whereas others laugh. im just saying this film is the least scary shit ive ever seen, and everyone my age agrees with me. stop being such a whigney bitch just because i dont like the movie you like.

@likeastarbaby
Going from "the least scary shit ever" to "the least scary shit I've ever seen" is backpedaling---it's not my problem if you're too stupid to know the difference between objective and subjective claims.

yeah thats is pretty freaky
but like what Damzel666 i think it is far too long to be a subliminal message

it is the face of captain howdy. Its is on screen several times in the movie, but its on screen to long to really be subliminal...you always know that you have seen it

The face is almost impossible to miss. It's in there for dramatic effect, it's not subliminal. The audience is clearly supposed to see it! Blatty, who wrote the book, said himself that the images are in the movie, but you can see them; it's not subliminal. All the controversy over these scenes is ridiculous - just paranoia.

I am sorry. I have dealt with too many assholes on Youtube recently and this has colored my attitude. You did not deserve to bear the brunt of my aggravation however, as you are clearly not of the asshole breed. My apologies.

Incorrect, I remember seeing them. Perhaps not at such a slow speed, but perceptible nonetheless.
But I really do not care for an argument on this matter, as I really do not care about the subject matter.
So lets just say you are right. And please stop sending me messages.

In the original 1973, the picture is played only 1 frame per 21 frames of the film. 21 frames is one second of any film. For the 25th anniversary re-release, they made the picture 'show' on the screen. If you have an original VHS or Beta of the movie, the picture does not 'show', only if you slow the tape down and see frame, by frame, I still have my original tape recorded from HBO in the 80s and it was cool to find this hidden screen and I first read about it. There is also the word PIGS

Lasts too long to be subliminal.
Proof is in the pudding.
It is noticeable when played at normal speed.
Subliminal, by definition, means not immediately noticeable.
I see no reason for people being so rude on the comments however. Tiny minds resort to disparaging insult
Richardatf 2 years ago 7
@Richardatf subliminal doesn't mean not immediately noticeable, rather cannot be processed, consciously, by one's senses. Subliminal messages are supposed to pass by the conscious mind and seep directly into the subconscious.

Well, since this video is for discussion purposes only, for users to start a conversation. Then, you see, Mama Karras was standing there feeling rather abandoned. She was saying, "Teemy, why you do this to me"? "Why Teemy, why you do this to me"? She also felt her style was being cramped because there was a younger woman with a terrible headache, superimposed all over Mama Karras. Meanwhile, Fr. Karras was running as fast as he can because the day was done at the boy's school & he didn't want

to come strut'n by after they were all gone home already. After all, he had already invested quite a few bucks on a bunch of candy. However, the other character, "Count Chocula", was very upset about it. Before being wooed away by all the Karras candy, the school boys used to very much like getting mouthfuls of Count Chocula.
Despite having ran like a gay Grecian Olympian with adolescent choir boys on his mind, Fr. Karras was too late & found consolation in that he would later see Green Girl

the white face mean damien Karras was gonna die, in this point of the movie the father;s mother dies, then he also dies later, on, so its like he follows her after she goes down (the steps) and he also dies falling down the steps

the subliminal message is not the face in the video it is the reflection of a kid filming it and an old bag reading the paper. look very closely at 36 seconds through the vid

This are not subliminal, they're there to scare watchers! They're throughout the whole film, even the new version contains more!

i think these lil scary faces things happened to slowly you can easily see them and they kinda ruin the mood of the movie,it'd have been much scarier without them.

It's not a subliminal message because it appeals to the concious mind, not the unconcious. You can see it clearly.
