I do have to say that the original 1982 movie did have one lasting impression on me. Still,to this day,and I'm 37 now,I don't ever look for something that I think might be under my bed from up on top because of the clown attacking Robbie scene at the end.I also agree that that kid seems to get himself into the worst possible binds in both the 1982 original and 1986 sequel, from trees trying to eat him and a clown doll trying to choke him to death in 1982 to braces coming alive and trying to electrocute him in 1986,that kid's really put through the ringer,much more than his older sister in the original or even Carol Anne in the trilogy as a whole.I also didn't notice it at first,but now I do notice that both Steve and Diane (JoBeth and Craig T.),suddenly got mullets (Steven),and the typical puffy-hair of the mid-1980's (Diane),when in 1982 Diane had straight hair. I was like,really? Also I agree about the sudden emergence of the whole psychic lineage thing to be like WTF? Where did that Gramma Jess being psychic and passing it down to Diane and Carol Anne come from? Seriously?

I like it despite it's faults, and I think the biggest problem is how much it was cut down. It was cut by 40 minutes (!), and the ending suffers, and also it comes across as "one thing after another" instead of properly building. <br /><br />Yeah, the braces stuff is pretty WTF, but it did creep me out as a kid for some reason. To me, the biggest crime is indeed the hair of Craig T and JoBeth.

I remember an old friend of mine had to get braces when she was in high school and she was seriously terrified that her braces were gonna attack her while she slept. So I guess the movie worked for some people, lol.Mikey Saragohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06928178715048836468noreply@blogger.com
