Or actually, them images could be the demon warning them, telling them that he or she or it is going to possess them, it could be warning the girl (Reagan?) who I think sees it and then it could be warning the priest who I think sees it in his dream.

He's growling or grinning because he's either scaring her or smiling because he's in her. Probably Captain Howdy, I don't know, but the way the figure first comes up, I reckon she can actually see him right then, I reckon her eyes widen because she can see him and he's in her mind. I reckon the figure is the demon who possed the girl (Reagan?) and the Priest. These can't be there for subliminal reasons, anyway, what's it going to make you do? Go out and buy a demon? It's there to make the film a bit more freaky and they were taken out of the film because people were pooing their panties along with the spider-stair scene.īasically, it's there to make you poo yourself.

When the Excorcism is being performed, the girl (REAGAN?!) is tossing and turning and suddenly, her face changes to the figure again, the head is in the excact same position as her's, the head is there for about a second and goes back to the girls (REAGANS!!) Just after that scene, when she opens the door to her daughter's (Is it Reagan!?) room, just before she opens the door there's an orange face on the door, like a pumpkin.ĥ. When the Possed Girl's (Reagan is it?) Mum opens the door and goes into the house, the phone is ringing and the lights are flickering, the Mum answers the phone and there's no one there, she walks closer to the camera, the lights cut out for longer than before, when they come back on, to the right of the screen there is a face and it dissapears in a few seconds.Ĥ. The second message is when the Priest is dreaming, he sees his Mum at the subway enterance, it flicks to the pale person again and then it goes back to the subway scene and the Lady/the priests Mum walks down the stairs.ģ. He kinda growls with his teeth and it goes back to the girl again.Ģ. Then it quickly changes to a black screen with a person in the middle of it, he or she is wearing white makeup, has pointy teeth and has a thick red outline around his or her eyes. The first one is when the little girl (Reagan?) is at the doctors, there is one bit where she is laying down on a bed there and at the foot of the bed there is a nurse doing something, the girl is just staring into nothing and (I think) her eyes widen. I noticed five of these little things when watching the film:ġ. Ok I'm gonna sum it up for once and for all, these aren't Subliminal Messages, I watched "The Excocist: The Version You've Never Seen" this morning and all the things are definetely put in there on purpose just to freak you out and to make you get all scared and whatever. Read one of the many books on the making of the Exorcist for more info, or better yet buy it on DVD for the 75 minute making-of documentary where all this stuff is explained. If you can consiously SEE it, it's not subliminal, is it? :) The face was never meant to symbolize Father Karras, and it was only used in the dream sequence to jar the viewer during an otherwise sleepy nightmare.įriedkin did use subliminal *techniques* in the film (like using light to deliberately contrast positive scenes from negative ones), but he never used any direct subliminal frame-insertions. Director William Freidkin inserted two shots of Eileen in this make-up into the final cut, once in Father Karras' dream sequence, and once super-imposed onto Linda Blairs face during the final exorcism scenes. The 'white-ghoul' face (often mistakenly referred to as the 'skull-and-crossbones') was one of the rejected make-ups. In trying to perfect the 'possessed' make-up for Linda, they experimented with 5-6 different looks which were all tested on Eileen Dietz. It's not Father Karras's face, it's the face of Linda Blairs double, Eileen Dietz.
