The Exorcist - Original Theatrical Trailer: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

The trailer begins with [[Pazuzu]] (portrayed by [[wikipedia:Eileen Dietz|Eileen Dietz]] and voiced by the late [[wikipedia:Mercedes McCambridge|Mercedes McCambridge]]), together with some uncomfortable music in the background. A taxi stops at the house of [[Regan MacNeil]] (portrayed by [[wikipedia:Linda Blair|Linda Blair]]), the girl who got possessed by Pazuzu. Father Merrick, the person who's getting called to save Regan after Pazuzu possessed her, is seen leaving the taxi, with a voice-over in the background saying: "''Something beyond comprehension is happening to a little girl on the street, in this house.''" As the taxi leaves and Father Merrick is about to enter the house, the voiceover continues saying: "''A man has been sent for, as a last resort, to try and save her.''"

Immediately after that, a long montage of flashing images of Regan, Pazuzu (see Trivia), and ~~Father~~ Karras, the assistant of Father Merrick, will appear with very disturbing music in the background.

Immediately after that, a long montage of black-and-white flashing images of Regan, Pazuzu (see Trivia) and Damien Karras, the assistant of Father Merrick, will appear with very disturbing music in the background.
