I watched this sometime back and had to go to work with my Father.<br /><br />Of course, I'm kidding. It was Mother I went to work with. It was ham and cheese day and I thought it would be an equal opportunity to turn people on with my lunchmeat mentality. My brain is headcheese.<br /><br />Still, this movie is one of the scariest films ever made. My mother told me some tales from back in the 70's - Apparently, half of my conservative neighborhood got baptized after seeing it.Lunchmeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007194795880081419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-81425732702667056742007-01-30T11:24:00.000-05:002007-01-30T11:24:00.000-05:00As a 13-year-old, I was an Exorcist freak.

And as soon as the movie came out, I pestered my parents into taking me. I even bought (and still have) The Making of the Exorcist book (in hardback), which contains weird tales of the flick's production.<br /><br />So, of course, I already own the new edition of the flick, and I look forward to finally participating in the Final Girl Film Club.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-90519377912830502382007-01-29T16:07:00.000-05:002007-01-29T16:07:00.000-05:00A friend and I went to see this at the theatre whe...A friend and I went to see this at the theatre when it was re-released and were starting to wonder what scared us so bad as kids. Then that spider-walk happened and we were thoroughly re-traumatized. <br /><br />I just bought the box set, but have been too chicken to watch. Now, I have an excuse.<br /><br />Also, <b>Food of the Gods</b>!SikeChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08135793754935172240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-83796402407780975542007-01-29T15:36:00.000-05:002007-01-29T15:36:00.000-05:00Thanks for clearing it up, Josh.

William Peter Blatty always loved that tacked on Epilogue despite director Friedkin complaints, and when the opportunity was presented, Blatty got his version in the rerelease. It's also the reason the Ritalin angle is played up so much early in the movie.<br /><br />The Spider-walk scene, however, gets no complaints on this end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-85628725426204809872007-01-29T10:45:00.000-05:002007-01-29T10:45:00.000-05:00Woo hoo!
