The Exorcist - Original Spiderwalk (My Edit)

One of my many attempts of editing the original spiderwalk scene from The Exorcist back into the film. I used outtake footage from "The Fear of God: 25 Years of The Exorcist" documentary. The music is called 'String Quartet' by Krzysztof Pendrecki, which can be found on The Exorcist CD soundtrack.

You can find the original un-edited outtake in the video response section below, along with a video of director William Friedkin and author William Peter Blatty discussing why it was cut from the film.

This version of the spiderwalk follows more closely to what William Peter Blatty wrote in the novel:

------------------------------

Chris looked up and froze.

Gliding spiderlike, rapidly, close behind Sharon, her body arched backward in a bow with her head almost touching her feet, was Regan, her tongue flicking quickly in and out of her mouth while she hissed sibilantly like a serpent.

"Sharon?" Chris said numbly, still staring at Regan.

Sharon stopped. So did Regan. Sharon turned and saw nothing. And then screamed as she felt Regan's tongue snaking out at her ankle.

Chris whitened. "Call that doctor and get him out of bed! Get him now!"

Wherever Sharon moved, Regan would follow.

oh hell no, if i ever saw someone doing that down the stairs i would piss out my organs!

Between this and the blood coming out of the mouth, I prefer the blood.

This just looks too silly chasing someone around.

I dunno what else she could have done (Shoot flames out of her eyes?) but for now it's the blood.

I think no matter how they end the spiderwalk it would always look incomplete.

It should end with the spiderwalk instead.

the novel the new one that blatty put out with extra scenes..WAS SPOOKY AS HELL no joke..he is a great writer.It's a good read but, basically, The Exorcist  NOVEL is a museum piece, something to be enjoyed for its historical value, its datedness and its almost quaint shock value you now..

[kenny chase]

it doesn't look silly there is a REASON why she was chasing Sharon but your one of those people with limits on taste you don't really care about a FILM like this....

I haven't read it, but the book version sounds scarier. She apparently is creeping around the house like that, the possessor following her, licking her ankles.

[MrSeanesso]

silly or not this was the scene from the book

[LikeABoss98NHL]

that scene was the scariest scene to me

[desolation162]
