It's better to have people read the article and then see the image and be or not be frightened, rather than risk people being immediately frightened by the image and navigating away before they have even had a chance to read the article.

They are not the same "character" at all. If you read the articles they state the difference very clearly. Pazuzu's origin was in the folklore of
Ancient Assyria. "Captain Howdy" was the affectionate name Regan gave to the demon, later known to be called "Pazuzu" in the fictional novel and movie "The

I've moved the image to the lower section of the article so that it isn't immediately visible to the reader.

This is KVE again, the original author of this article. I've decided to include an image of
Captain Howdy in this article despite my previous statement that I would wait for a response, as I feel that I probably won't get any response unless I actually place the image in the article (as copyright

I'm unsure of whether to post an image of
Captain Howdy on this article, as it is a rather frightening picture (as is intended). I won't upload an image until I get some feedback on whether or not that would be appropriate and if so whether or not I need to place a warning on the top of the page

I agree that the refference to the "creepiness" is completely POV.Measuring "creepininess' can only be measured by a person's perspective and only a person's perspective.Somebody please remove that.

It seems a little strange to have separate pages for Pazuzu and
Captain Howdy when they are essentially the same character. Coudln't Captain Howdy be merged as a section on the Pazuzu page?

It seems strange to me that there is even an article called "Captain Howdy", it was just a nickname used very briefly in the story, not really worthy of an article. They weren't even

From what I've read in other
