I just realized that the episode of SpongeBob with the Hash-slinging Slasher, "Graveyard Shift", referenced this scene. "The lights will flicker on and off... The phone will ring, and there'll be no one there..."

Anybody else notice how the light coming through the window from outside and shining on her face looks like a cross? Kinda creepy but also really cool!
The one shot that makes the new version slightly cheesy. If not for that sudden flash of face, this would have been an overall complete alternative version!
Man that is creepy. I also never noticed before that the cutting board on the wall looks like a man's silhouette. It startled me watching it this time; I wonder if it was placed intentionally.
The superimposed demon faces were the biggest transgression of the directors cut, because they fundamentally changed the audience's point of view. In the original cut, you're not privy to anything the characters aren't; you're going through the experience WITH them. That's a deliberate, important creative decision. Now, when you see Pazuzu over Ellen Burstyn's shoulder and she doesn't, you're on the side of the "puppeteers", to use a timely comparison. You're now (as a viewer) more omniscient, instead of sympathetic. Criminal.
I agree... and I don't because by the time they put those new scenes back in 2000, I assume pretty much everybody knew that the movie was about a girl being possessed by a demon so we were already more omniscient, in a way. Still, I liked your thoughts on the surimposed demon faces.
It's called Dramatic Irony, when you the audience know something the protagonist doesn't-- and frankly I don't think the face detracts (or adds) from it whatsoever because you already know the stakes with or without it.
For me it's not the face that is the scary part. It's the lights going out with her being alone in that big home and her daughter is upstairs "Or is she?!!" possessed by a demon
someone please tell me if im wrong but in the next scene when chris open the door of regan's bedroom in the digibook version of the exorcist the evil figure its not there like the dvd version.
@Captain Howdy u scared me a lot when i saw for the first time the exorcist when i was a child..i remember closes my eyes when ur scary face appears in the movie
@@matheuscoelho8747the demon was pretending to be strapped to the bed. There’s a night scene where you see the girl’s silhouette floating across the window, from the outside point of view, and she’s supposed to be tied to the bed. It even tells the priest it’s a vulgar display of power to undo the straps in front of everyone.
@@trilliamc5185 This was added in the Directors Cut, it’s not in the Theatrical Cut. It’s silly because it’s highly predictable and easily noticeable. The tension is evaporated because we already know that something is really wrong before the payoff reveal that Burke Dennings is dead. The version you’ve never seen is still a fantastic masterpiece, but honestly the Theatrical Version is much creepier because it suggests rather than flat-out shows. The demons face becomes a matter of triviality, where as in the original, it’s sparing use makes you jump. The added effects are too obvious. As I say the Directors Cut is still fantastic, but the pacing is dryer and they meddled with the horror too much.

That face traumatized me as a kid... Everytime i closed my eyes that face appeared in my mind
Me too
That face and the pic face scare me too much
Im glad I wasn’t the only one
Same
We are both, Man! Still traumatizes me!
The real question is: why the fruit did you watch this movie as a kid?!

i never noticed that now after all these years watching this movie since 97/98

Captian howdy just wanted to grab a glass of milk
So for the 1970s her kitchen is pretty nice lol ...stainless steel fridge and ovens not a bad looking house I must say
Indeed, her character is a rich actress.

Where’s the Doom slayer when you need him he will take care of the demon
How good would it be is Pazuzu was a boss added in DLC lol
Jeano Murad that would be cool
Yeah but he will probably behead ragen
No shit right?? Lol

that's a really astute comment. Exactly so. and so it doesnt work. It just looks cheap. Interesting how closely the demon resembles Nosferatu.
Are you the person who posted this same comment on a Collins’ Crypt article 9 years ago or did you just copy and paste that person’s comment?
Thought it was great tbh.

This is the one change I don't care for. It feels too cheap, too out in the open, etc.
Exactly. Too many subliminal faces 😂
Too bad Ed and Lorraine Warren couldn’t pay a visit!
0:21
Winchester Vicky nope, part always stuck to me just as her head turning well crucifix part ....
Cassie Nicole honestly the girl was scarier than the demon itself lol
@@VideosOfRandomContextnope the girl is not scary at all
NOSFERATU
So you’d fart at him. Rude.
I almost wished they'd made the face bigger i.e. sort of aligned with Chris but to the right.
someone please tell me if im wrong but in the next scene when chris open the door of regan's bedroom in the digibook version of the exorcist the evil figure its not there like the dvd version.
a few hours ago I realized the same, there is no longer the face on the door or the statue of pazuzu on the side :(
The Mandala Effect.
It’s there on the VHS still lol
But yeah it’s not on the recent versions 😕
@Captain Howdy sorry pazuzu. I LOVE YOU !!
@Captain Howdy u scared me a lot when i saw for the first time the exorcist when i was a child..i remember closes my eyes when ur scary face appears in the movie
Icon 👹
Subliminal when you actually notice it?
I wish all of the director’s cut were never the director’s cuts lol
I sweat on my dad version the statue face is shown as well
This traumatized me as a kid
I was scared a lot of this movie if regan was going to kill her mother
if she wasn't very well tied to the bed yes she would have killed her mother

@@StevenBHorrorFan but she tried to kill her Mother in The masturbation scene but Sharon helped her
Wtf did they leave that out
Because it’s pretty dumb
@@Crinbo not back then during the 1970s. It freaked everyone out so nobody really thinks it was a dumb addition to the movie.

@@horrorfanandy4647I agree! The flashing faces are annoying. The spider walk jump scare is the best addition.

Michael Myers shows his face in H4? Or do you mean the mask?
I Like the sound.
Gah, those additions are so stupid. Theatrical cut is way better.
I agree lol. I do like the spider walk though. Flexible princess!!
I agree. I pretend the extended cut doesn't exist
…nope
Another good cut. The effect was completely cheeseball and would have ruined the scene.
