Side view behind-the-scenes photo of the levitation scene. Actress Linda Blair as Regan, wearing a soiled blue nightgown and demonic makeup with yellow eyes, is suspended horizontally in mid-air above the bed. Actor Max von Sydow as Father Merrin, an elderly man with white hair and glasses wearing a black cassock and purple stole, stands below reading from a bible. Actor Jason Miller as Father Karras, with dark hair and a black priest outfit, watches intensely. A mechanical hydraulic rig hidden behind the actress is visible. Crew members are controlling the levers. Studio scaffolding and lights surround the fake bedroom set. 1970s film grain aesthetic.
