The Original release of The Exorcist
was December 26th 1973, It was controversial
from the start, unlike any motion picture before
or sense. In essence it was a once in a life time
experience. The original film in all of it’s terrifying
glory has not been shown since 1974. I keep trying
to explain to true movie buffs that the versions they
have been airing in the last 20 to 30 years is not the
Original. I don’t say this to bash a great movie that was
once a masterwork, I point this out so that maybe one
day I will see the true Masterwork once again. I don’t
think we ever will, due to the fact that the only people
who know the truth are the ones that ran screaming
from the theater on December 26th 1973. Another
switch that Friedkin pulled was that, it was not Burke
Dennings Regan(The Demon) threw out her window
but the Astronaut that she looked at before pissing
the carpet and said, You’re gonna die up there! She
didn’t mean in space, she meant up in her room. If
You recall Burke had already left the party. I saw
Regan float over, turn his head around then toss
him out her window. When Billy chopped up his
masterwork Blatty did not speak to him for 2 years.
