Line 35:
* [[Brown Note]]: [http://theexorcist.warnerbros.com/cmp/silencebottom.html Many sound effects were put in (sometimes deep in the mix) to make it more unsettling] - for instance, pigs being herded for slaughter and [[Everything's Worse with Bees|angry bees]].
* [[CAT Trap]]: As one transcript puts it, "a huge machine, two pieces on either side of Regan's head and a piece above."
* [[ChekovChekhov's Gun]]: Throughout the movie, Karras' has hints that he used to be a boxer in his youth. When we first meet his mother, his room has photos of him in boxing attire. When his mother is dying, he starts violently hitting the heavy bag at a gym to vent his frustration. Lastly when Kinderman first questions him he mentions that Karras was easy to spot since he looked like a boxer. {{spoiler| He puts his boxing into play when he finds Merrin dead. The first thing he does is pin the possessed Reagan on the ground and throw hooks at her in order to get the demon to possess him. It works.}}
* [[Christianity Is Catholic]]: Justified. Any reference to the original Lutheran clergy that Regan's mom consulted was left out, perhaps because Lutherans have no exorcism tradition.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: And how.
