Regan/Captain Howdy mashup

This movie is an absolute classic. You have to watch the version with additional footage as the original author intended. Our mother can’t even watch this movie. She saw it for the first time when she was 13 and hasn’t been the same since lol.

There is little to nothing wrong with this movie. After all these years it still holds up really well without any ridiculous ploys or plot devices.

It has a great story with memorable dialogue, though it may offend some lol. Solidly creepy throughout the entire movie and not afraid to push the limits in a completely meaningful way. Tubular Bells is some of the best movie music ever! Incredible effects, especially for 1973.

My sister thinks Father Karras is kinda hot but she is weird like that. The end is kinda sad but not without hope for a new start. The part where Regan sees the priest’s collar and kisses him is beautifully done.

All in all we have nothing bad to say, i could go on about how great the relationship is between mother and daughter and how real it feels. The fact that the movie makes us fall for multiple characters and never leaves us bored. The performances are stellar all around from main characters to supporting cast. Tara gave it a 91/100 and I gave it a 92/100.

10 Things That Make Me DJVoorhees. 1. My favorite food is pepperoni pizza. From the East Coast of course. 2. My most prized possession is a replica of the Hellraiser puzzle box. My sister haggled the price for me, but she still doesn't like touching the thing. 3. Controversial Food Opinion Time! For one, fish is meat. It was once alive. Now it's food. Fish is meat. For another thing, a lot of fish can be paired with different kinds of cheese and be quite delicious. Gordon Ramsey and many other chefs are wrong. Yeah, I said it. 4. A lot of movies make me tear up. I'm not too proud to admit that. Even horror gets me when done well. Train to Busan, for instance, hit me so hard, I think I cried during the whole end credits. 5. My dream house would be all one story, have a huge back yard for our 2 dogs, a huge catio for our 2 cats (complete with tunnels, trees, and a cat door so they can run in and out whenever), several industrial-sized airconditioning systems, a solar array, a panic system, a library, a game room, a movie theater, 3 different kitchens, an indoor swimming pool, 2 koi ponds and a giant wall surrounding the whole damn thing. 6. If I could have superhero type powers, I'd want to make anyting I can imagine, a reality. Organic or inorganic. A living thing or a sandwich. If I see a Burger King commercial, I want to be able to think a Whopper into being right in front of me. 7. I'm enjoying a lot of interesting music lately. From classic rock to modern singer-songwriters. Some of my favorites are Jasmine Thompson, Norah Jones, Chris Stapleton and the great James Taylor. 8. I watched wrestling for over a decade from the 90's into the 2000's. Recently, with the introduction of the Bloodline faction and the return of The Rock, I started watching it again. I'm really liking it, too. Some of my favorites are Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley and Sami Zayn. 9. Creepy, sickly, old women scare me. Think "Zelda" from Pet Sematary, "Mrs. Kersh" from IT, and "The Countess" from Black Sabbath. 10. My first pet ever was a bunny named Buffy. Yes, after the vampire slayer. The movie slayer though, not the show one. Do not like the show.
