RaveTrade.com has a Search ALL Craigslist program.It let's you search the entire
country or multiple states.I use it to find cult movies.You can also search
Kijiji and Backpage
www.ravetrade.com

to me, a cult film has 2 qualities;

1: it does better after initial release.

2: there is a loyal following for the film.

Now I would say that it is a cult film, even though the term does denote a
certain cheesy quality. Most of the "cult films" aren't as well made as the
exorcist (ie toxic avenger) .

Hi everyone, im a student at Portsmouth University and for one of my assignments
i have to conduct a discussion on a cult film with fans such as yourselves. What
are your opinions on the film and how important is it to you as a cult fan to
discuss your opinions of this film to other people. Why have you chosen this
site and are you a community of fans or individuals who like to share their
opinions to other people now and again? I would be truly grateful if you could

I just re-read the novel last month. From April 1 to around Mothers
Day, Regan was first experiencing manifestation then possession.
That's like 6 weeks in total.

Thanks for your reply...i guess then that the house in DC where it
was supposed to take place probably doesnt look like it does in the
film?

answer so i tink i will ask it again

Does anyone know how long Regan was supposed to be possessed for? I
think i once was told a few days and someone else said a few weeks ..

The OFFICIAL website has this quote about it:

"Most of the film was shot on soundstages in New York, with
exteriors shot in and around Washington, DC. Regan's bedroom was
built inside a refrigerated set which went down to 20 degrees below
zero, allowing the actors' breath to show and giving the appearance

In Jan 1974,the San Francisco Chronicle recieved of what appeared to be
a final string of 22 letters sent by the notorious Zodiac Killer. In
the contents of the Jan 29,1974 letter was the addressing of William
Freidkin's THE EXORCIST.

The mediocre introduction of the letter read:

I think and saw the Exorcist was the best saterical comidy I have ever
seen.



To me the Zodiac had viewed life in a dark humorous realm which life
itself was that. He might of seen little Regan as a slave for his
afterlife and he(Zodiac) as the demon Pazzuzu as "in control of all
things." Zodiac exploited characters in film  as comical,funny people
of life.

Vandals Spray-Paint Baton Rouge Cathedral

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Vandals left their mark on St. Joseph Cathedral
overnight Thursday, spray-painting vulgarities and Satanic symbols on sacred
19th-century artifacts.

On Friday morning, red, yellow and orange pentagrams stained a marble
crucifix, a statue of the Virgin Mary and a wall near the church rectory.
Nearby brick walls bore the biblical number of the beast: 666.

Baton Rouge police are looking for those responsible, and the cathedral's
pastor, the Rev. Gerard Young, said it's particularly sad coming just before
Easter.

Unfortunately, Young said, this isn't the first time in the many years he
has been pastor that the church has been vandalized. He said that just last
month someone painted a small area on the side of the church. And over the
years statues and other items have been broken and knocked over.

Bewitched Catholics

“I think there are like evil energies and entities out there. I'm concerned
that if she opens herself up to those kinds of things that there is a
potential of ..."

“I believe in one God, one Goddess, and in Jesus, who was a ‘great person.’”

Such might run a Catholic/Wiccan creed, if a six-year old boy, Sean’s,
confession is representative.

Sean Nettleton of San Leandro is not entirely comfortable with his mother
being a witch, said a March 28 East Bay Express article, though his younger
sister, Lizzie, a “free thinker” and “wild girl” (according to their mother,
Tina Nettleton, 37), is proud of her mother’s paganism. Sean, though, is
apprehensive “to display his “Pagan side,” because of his father.

His father, Chris Nettleton, 38, is Catholic.

But Chris is supportive of his wife’s “religion.” For her witchly initiation
two years ago, he bought her a ceremonial broom. The family home has several
pagan altars, and, last year, Tina bought pentacle pendants for her children
(crosses have since been added). Sean, though calling himself a “Catholic
Witch," took his off before starting kindergarten at a Catholic school.

Wiccans, who form the largest Pagan group (claiming from 300,000 to 1.2
million members in the United States) can choose any gods or goddesses for
their devotion. Tina goes for a Buddhist deity, Tara. Tina grew up
Catholic.. Both she and Christ belonged to the youth group at St. Leander’s
church in San Leandro, which Tina liked, because, under the musical
direction of liturgical composer Bob Hurd, the parish had liturgical
dancing.

But Saint Leander’s grew more “conservative,” and, besides, Catholicism
never “empowered” Tina, in part, because of its belief in a “male God.”
Finally, Tina spent a Sunday with a Goddess circle. "She came back really
enthusiastic and really enjoyed it and it felt like she was in the right
spot," her husband said. "That was neat to see."

Chris admits having felt “weirded out” by his wife’s religion. His Catholic
experience was good --- he had been an altar boy, youth group counselor, and
a Eucharistic Minister, though he now does not attend Mass regularly.

The Wiccan view of God “weirds” Chris “out.” God is not “benevolent” for
them, he said. “I think they kind of embrace both, more like the Hindus do
with Kali and there's destruction. So that's really difficult for me." His
wife’s double-bladed, ritual knife (used for “cutting sacred space”), kept
on the altar in their bedroom, “freaked” him out.

But Chris has gotten into the pagan groove, somewhat; he has, for instance,
taught Sean to say, “in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Goddess.” But not everything is groovy with him. "Maybe it's my Catholic
upbringing and watching The Exorcist one too many times," he told the
Express. "I joke, but there's some seriousness because I think there are
like evil energies and entities out there. I'm concerned that if she opens
herself up to those kinds of things that there is a potential of ..."

Here he drifted off. But completing his thought, he said, "so I have to
trust that she's going to take every means necessary to keep us safe."

Graffiti Spray-Painted On San Jose Church
Vandals Strike San Jose Catholic Church

SAN JOSE, Fla. -- Police are looking for the vandals who defaced a local
church and school by spray-painting markings that a reverend said ranged
from the inappropriate to the satanic.

The vandalism took place last weekend at the San Jose Catholic Church off
Toledo Road in San Jose.

"Sunday was a little tense because there were a number of people that were
concerned, more for the children that would see it, and of course upset
because it's their property and school property was defaced," said the Rev.
Jim Moss.

Moss said the graffiti parishioners discovered on Sunday morning was not
only vulgar but he said some of it was satanic.

"There were some references to Jesus that were not good. And some satanic
kind of symbols," said Moss.

According to police reports, one phrase had some nasty things to say about
Jesus and the opposite about Satan. Reports also state there were, "several
encircled five point stars."

The damage has since been scrubbed off in some sections and painted over in
others because 26 people stayed behind for hours after mass to do pressure
washing and painting to get rid of the graffiti.

"We don't want to see anything defaced, because it's our property and we
take good care of it and we have many people that do help in taking care of
it," Moss said.

The church has some surveillance video from Saturday night that police are
looking at in their search for the vandals.

Channel 4's Scott Johnson reported the surveillance tape appears to show two
or three young men or teenagers.

Also, Moss said he has heard from some people who told him they witnessed
cars near the church before the discovery of the graffiti.

Anyone with information about whoever is responsible for the church graffiti
is asked to call Crimestoppers at 866-845-TIPS.

People’s Council urges authorities to equate Satanists to terrorists

Moscow, April 2, Interfax - People’s Council, an Orthodox public movement,
urges the authorities to be more active in struggle against Satanic sects
and to equate their adepts to terrorists.

‘Mortal hatred for Christians, total disregard for moral norms generally
accepted in Russia, attempts to intimidate millions of our citizens by
monstrous cruelty, cynicism, impudence and special sadism manifested in
ritual murders and other crimes - all this is characteristic of Satanic
organizations’, the People’s Council says in a statement communicated to
Interfax on Monday.

Its authors recall several ritual murders committed by Satanists earlier and
disclosed by the law enforcement. The most notorious of them was the murder
of three Optino monks killed by a Satanist on Orthodox Easter and uncovered
attempts at the lives of Orthodox priests.

‘There is an enormous number of Satanic organizations and groups acting in
Russia today. Many of them are united in a single branchy network. They do
not even conceal their aims, acting openly and recruiting new adepts through
the Internet (for instance, the so-called Church of the Satan). Satanic
literature has been openly circulated and sold in Russia’, the statement
says.

The People’s Council notes that most of the Satanic organizations emerged
and manifested themselves in Russia in the last decade of the 20th century.
‘They penetrated into Russia from the USA and Western European countries,
where they are based. In recent years, these organizations have structured
themselves in Russia and gathered strength to present now a real danger to
our society’, the document states.

It's a devil of a job being Satan. No one knows just how much devilry is
required
By William Langley, Sunday Telegraph

Was there a touch of devilry in Pope Benedict XVI's announcement last week
that hell is for real? Sensitive to the concerns of sinners, modern
churchmen have taken to playing down the risks of eternal damnation, arguing
that God, even if he once permitted such a thing, would now be signed up to
current sentencing guidelines.

Back in the early 1990s, Benedict's predecessor, John Paul II, in an address
to the Vatican Council, rejected the notion of a literal, living hell,
arguing that the fiery pit was more a symbol of man's wilful separation from
God: "Rather than a physical place," said John Paul, "hell is the state of
those who freely and definitively depart from God, the source of all life
and joy."

But in a speech to a parish gathering outside Rome, Benedict, 79, a pontiff
with little time for the namby-pambyism of the modern priesthood, stood this
position on its head, declaring that: "Hell exists, and is eternal, even if
nobody talks about it much any more."

advertisementBehind his remarks was a growing sense of irritation among
Church traditionalists that hell has fallen out of fashion, and that the
afterlife, having been cleaned up and de-fanged, is now being sold as a kind
of dream holiday-in-perpetuity, with heaven as the ritzy new resort, and
hell the eyesore slum that was knocked down to accommodate it.

Unfortunately, Satan isn't displaced so easily. He may, indeed, be
thoroughly enjoying his temporary lack of profile, for as the Kevin Spacey
character says in The Usual Suspects (albeit without acknowledgements to
Baudelaire): "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled is convincing the
world he didn't exist."

Polls show that far more people now believe in God than believe in Satan,
yet for hundreds of years it would have been considered illogical, not to
mention heretical, to accept the existence of one without the other. Hell
and the torments thereof were what happened to you if you strayed from the
path of righteousness, but today's theologians, reluctant to frighten their
dwindling congregations, have effectively written Satan out of the script.
The Church of England, never knowingly out-trendied, dismissed the existence
of hell as far back as the 1970s, and its leading figures rarely even refer
to Satan or his realm.

Many clerics now embrace the notion of universal salvation, which holds that
God would not abandon his sinners, and even if, in extreme cases, he had to,
it would only be with the purpose of reclaiming them later. "All flesh shall
see the salvation of God," says Luke (3:6). What this amounts to, complain
the conservatives, is a whole lot of carrot and no stick, and Benedict's
outburst should perhaps be seen as a sign of frustration at the increasingly
"no fault" nature of modern scriptural interpretation.

For Satan, whatever his shortcomings, has done a fiendishly good job of
licking the human race into shape. He figures, in varying degrees of
scariness, in every significant religion, and what Anthony Burgess called
"the vestigial fear of hell" has arguably done far more, down the centuries,
to establish and maintain codes of civilised behaviour than all the laws
ever passed.

The Devil first appears in early Hebrew scriptures as a mysterious
supernatural being named as ha satan, which roughly translates as "the
adversary", or "the opposer", although his opposition stops well short of
confronting God's will. In the Book of Job he is given the task of testing
Job's loyalty, and although the tests are severe there is little suggestion
of malevolence. It is around five centuries later that Satan first emerges
as an overt enemy of God, apparently banished from the divine hierarchy.
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer\u2026 how art thou fallen to
earth? And thou saidst in thy heart: 'I will exalt my throne above the stars
of God'\u2026 but yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, into the depth of
the pit" (Isaiah, 14:12-15).

Various accounts of the Devil's fall, or, arguably, rise, can be found in
the ancient scriptures, but as the American scholar Elaine Pagels writes in
The Origin of Satan, there is a strikingly common thread to them: "All agree
on one thing; that this greatest and most dangerous enemy did not originate
(as we might have expected) as an outsider, an alien or a stranger. Satan is
no distant enemy; on the contrary, he is an intimate enemy - one's closest
relative, older brother, or trusted colleague - the kind of person upon
whose goodwill and loyalty the wellbeing of family and society depends."

Most Christian scholars believe that Lucifer, the brightest of the angels,
rebelled against God and tried to seize control of heaven for himself. Cast
out, he took his revenge, using the serpent to tempt Adam and Eve into
original sin, and has been scheming ever since to win souls for his infernal
kingdom. Yet not everyone has seen him as the embodiment of evil.

John Milton's epic, Paradise Lost, portrays Satan with conspicuous sympathy
as an agitator for greater democracy and freedom under the tyrannical and
inflexible regime of God ("Heaven's awful monarch"), and suggests ("Better
to reign in hell than serve in heaven") that his integrity survives the
fall.

Several plausible attempts have been made since to restore his reputation.
Professor Henry Ansgar Kelly, a University of California medievalist and
biographer of Satan, describes him as "a cosmic outlaw" arguing that the
early Church, abetted by artists and scholars, conspired to blacken his
character, with the aim of keeping the masses under the Church's thumb. Far
from stewing in the Stygian pit, says Professor Kelly, Satan is still out
among us in the role of heaven's enforcer. "He is like the government heavy.
His main job is to test human beings, and accuse them of their misdeeds, but
he is cynical and overzealous in his duties," says Kelly.

Exoneration should be the least of Satan's worries. His real problem - and,
to some extent, Pope Benedict's - is that too few people now believe in the
whole idea of divine punishment. The cracks began to show as early as the
18th century, when science, already gnawing at the tenets of creationism,
established that volcanic eruptions were not, as had been widely assumed,
evidence of hellish fury. Unconvinced by the research, a team of Russian
monks launched an unsuccessful mission to dig to the centre of the earth.

It got worse for Satan. The image of the scaly demon with horns, pointy tail
and toasting fork, bathed in the sulphurous glow of the pit, became a
comedic caricature. Once wary of anything discernibly religious, Hollywood
discovered the commercial value of the Devil with movies such as Rosemary's
Baby, The Exorcist and The Omen series. Next, the notion of evil itself came
under philosophical challenge, and writers such as Solzhenitsyn, in The
Gulag Archipelago and Arthur Miller in The Crucible, dismissed the idea that
true wickedness could be anything other than man-made.

Bad as things may look from down there, Satan has no need to despair. Our
notion of hell has simply moved on with the times, and even as we claim to
worry less about him, the state of the modern world plays tidily into his
claws. More sceptics means more guests, and as the Pope reminds us, there's
plenty of room for everyone.
