literally Damien Karras unable to escape the memory of his mother Mary Karras that even his scripted, then removed in the final film, previous friend (or girlfriend or neighbor?) that his mom wanted him to wed was named Mary....

week going badly but at least im not trying to load that vhs rip off A Dog Called Vengeance on tubi for my mental health

this gonna sound cringe and dumb if I'm wrong, but I thought this photo was a test with a much smaller right eyebrow scar from what Karras originally had in the book (no longer in the movie)

I saw a colored version of this photo and it looked like they tried to do it, but who knows. It's hard to say in black and white though.

his scar design in the book was supposed to be a reference to a Marlon Brando movie that was in black and white, but in color Brando's big eyebrow scar didn't look as convincing

Happy halloween month I'm once again thinking that if Damien Karras (from the original The Exorcist book) had been helping anyone else, say Carrie or any girl who was accused of witchcraft by religious conservative people, everyone wouldve been fine but noooo. The troubled pscychic teen actually was being influenced by demons and shouldn't be treated like a real mentally ill girl with powers. And everyone was right to tell him she was possessed by evil.

Science, logic and empathy was NOT the answer!
