[5] Fantastic content in this to Warner Brothers letter talking about Regan (Linda Blair) vomiting on Father Karras (Jason Miller) on optical zoom. In part “Also enclosed is a better uality set of dupe prints of Karras being hit by vomit. The prints I sent you first were too dark. These may be helpful in trying out cuts from Regan vomiting, using our rough super test. We are workgin on Mattes for these 2 vomit inserts”. [6] Letter to Warner Brothers about Georgetown over-ride zoom, also adds more on vomit scene, in part “The vomit inserts look pretty good - but we’ll have some problems matting it in as Linda (Blair) doesn’t hold her head still.”. [7] Letter to Warner Brothers on vomit scene, in part “I am enclosing a remake of the vomit composite...we have cut from the last good frame of Regab vomiting that could match action to the vomit coming into the priest scene. The color and density of Regan in bed is a close match to the work print...”.
