spiderwalk was the only scene I've ever watched in a movie where the hairs stood up at the back of my neck. I wasn't expecting it and it looked so unnatural.
Really awesome movie - not that scary at all but still great. Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair showed phenomenal acting. They both deserved the Oscar. I still think that the 70's had the greatest Horror films - this one, Halloween, Alien, Carrie, Black Christmas, Dawn of the Dead, Jaws, Amityville Horror, Asylum, The Wicker Man, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Horror Express, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Piranha, Shivers, The Crazies, Sisters.......to name a few
Ive run across the tounge scene many times at the end of the spider walk and seen Linda Blair talk about it--my understanding is that it is her real toungue--which she also used in the other scene on the bed? Is this animated? is it a scene outake that was intended as a possible for the original? does anyone know?
@phantomvibrationsX Well, on the bed scene when father merrin and karras we're giving the exorcism, while linda was sticking her tongue out. She said they made a mold of her tongue.
Actually in the book Regan follows Sharon on her back the whole time, she never turns around, and her tongue stretched further, I guess there wasn't the technology at the time to make it this way.
i just got this movie off netflix and just watched it for the first time (i know, right?) and there wasnt a spiderwalk scene. so im confused about this
I actually find this scene quite scary. People always wanna see blood but I mean think about it. If I see a child bleeding from her mouth I'd call an ambulance. But if I see a child with a fucked up tongue and black eyes trying to chase me that will scare me. I think I'd even kick that girl in the head just to trow her away from me, specially if she said "you're gonna die" and peed on the floor or did those fucked up things she did before in that movie. Blood doesn't scare me.
Yeah, it's like, c'mon, we know it's fake! Lets see some suspense, plot, believeable characters! Movies from this era can creep me out with the way the camera angels and not overdoing things 2where it's hokey. Then again, if I watch this kind of thing and I'm still not scared, I'll watch the news. That's guarenteed to scare me.
Can someone tell me if this is true-> My m8, who's addicted to horrors, said that people committed suicide over the original Exorcist movie, cos it was sooooooo shit scary!
It's based on a supposedly true story. The excorsism had actually been performed on a little boy. Now, I don't know about the head spinning or the green vomit, lol. If your child's doing that, um, I think you might want to call a doctor, lol.
The vomit and head thing wasn't true. Rest was, apart from it was a boy. Stuff like this happen today. I'm writing a book like this (and I won;t get sued since stuff like this happen today)
Anyone who would kill themselves over a movie or over an Ozzy record is messed up to begin with. There was a rash of teen suicides in my day, and people were blaming movies, musicians, just about anything they could point their fingers at. I still love my tunes and my horror movies, but.....I'm a counselor, lol. If art tempts you to do anything that wacked out, you need help. I do think that without art, sports, or any kind of outlet, we'd be absolutely feral.
This scene scared me so bad when I was little. My sister played a joke on me that night by pretending to go down the stairs like that. She scared me so bad that I ran away crying lol.
The problem is young folk have become desensitized to modern day violence in movies and the special effects that make it happen. Some of the people, who saw the 1933 version of King Kong, thought the monster was real, and the effects were considered cutting edge for the time. When the 1931 version of Dracula premiered on screen newspapers reported that members of the audiences fainted in shock at the horror on screen. You had to see the Exorcist with 1973 eyes, in order to really appreciate it.
I'm glad that they didn't include this scene. It's not really scary. Why would Sharon freak out? At that point they didn't know that Regan was possessed as made clear by Chris telling Sharon to "get the doctor," so why is Sharon scared of a little girl flicking her tongue out at her? Yes, it is an abnormally long tongue, but then again, none of them believe that anything that is going on is abnormal such as the bedshaking, etc.. I'm glad that they added in the bloody mouth. That's a lot better.
If I didn't know this was the Excorcist, I would've thought that this was a little acrobat girl video sped up in fast motion, with a long tongue. Lol.
This is more alarming than the scene that was eventually used in my opinion. It's quite disturbing, especially the way she comes down the stairs. Theres something obscene about it which is why I think they never used this scene.
The behind-the-scenes media consultant for "The Exorcist" was noted Scottish psychiatrist Dr. Charles Follen McKim Maloney. He strongly advised against the use of this scene,
I had heard rumours that Dr Charles Follen McKim Maloney had been a consultant on the Exorcist, I wasn't sure of their veracity, thanks for that information. Dr. Maloney performed a number of exorcisms before he disappeared. He was even employed by the CIA to try to exorcise Papa Doc Duvalier using his untested subliminal exorcism techniques. Papa Doc began flying kites not long after this, apparently 'the power of kites compelled him'!
i agree, the version that was used kinda grossed me out but this version the way she crawls down then turns around crawling towards her mum, it just made me shiver
What is she screaming? All I can hear is, "Sharon, get the doctor."
