Wasn't the spider-walk scene only recently inserted into the movie, in the "Special Edition" and "Version You've Never Seen" releases?
The trouble with it is that it removes any doubt to all involved that Regan is possessed from that moment - making her mother's uncertainty that something is wrong with her daughter later on in the film somewhat redundant.
Plus, the whole special effect looked rather wooden to me - I think the original cut of The Exorcist is still the best, with the suggestive, brooding menace of the girl stuck in bed far more terrifying.
