Line 52:
* [[Holy Burns Evil]]: Demon-possessed Regan's reaction to what a priest says is holy water. Although it's implied the demon was faking it to further convince Damien that the possession was psychosomatic. Played with during the infamous Crucifix Masturbation scene. It's shown later on that genuine religious items such as the Crucifix and the Holy Water can harm the Demon. However if the items are defiled in one way or another, they seem to have no effect. As the demon was able to force the act on Reagan without the cross burning or subduing it in any way.
* [[Mood Motif]]: It's all about the Ominous Bells here...
* [[No Ontological Inertia]] {{Spoiler| After Karras gets the demon to leave Reagan and possess him, the decayed look is all gone from her. The only thing remaining is the cuts all over her body. However judging by the next couple of days, the cuts heal and she looks as good as new.}}
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Kinderman, in the books. He calls it "schmaltz". Everything he does has a purpose. Chris tells people she is "dumb" to get them to explain things to her.
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: Father Merrin in his mentor role to Father Karras. Subverted, in that {{spoiler|neither of them make it out alive}}.
