I saw this for the first time in a long while on AMC the other night.
In the scene where Gregory Peck & David Warner are opening the graves they find what looks like a dog skeleton in Damien’s birthmother’s grave. So he says he wants to open his real son’s tomb, “because if its an animal too maybe he’s still alive”. Of course he finds a baby human skeleton who’s skull was deliberately crushed so the switch would be made.
So are they saying that Damien’s mother’s grave was a fake or are they saying that his birthmother was a jackal (ya know, Satan and all)?
I was in high school in the 1970s when that came out & I was the school’s Bible prophecy expert & I had a never-ending debate with a friend who insisted the Bible did prophesy that the AntiChrist would be born from a jackal! LOL!
OK, I didn’t hit the “Submit” button, so I don’t know how that got posted once, much less twice…I think my browswer is posessed, possibly the the son of Satan. Waitaminute, that’d be me…
Anyway, I meant to add “Naw, I’m not bitter… :)” so you’d know I’m really not psychotically obsessed with 20th Century Fox.
Don’t feel bad, Dewey. We have a friend named Damian and I can’t remember the last time I simply referred to him by name w/o whispering “Damian Satan Damian Satan” - so I don’t think the timing of the movie’s first release has anything to do with it.
Naw, my only point with the years is that my parents couldn’t have known any better.
The irony is, I’m named after a Catholic priest who helped lepers in Hawaii. Imagine a girl being named “Teresa” and having a film come out using that name for a hellspawned character.
