That old wife beater guy is definitely me when it comes to eyewitness detail.

"And what color was his shirt?"
"Shirt?"
"Did he have hair?"
"Hair?"

I was just about to post something like that.

That littlest girl looks familiar to me. Is she little Lindsey Wallace from the original Halloween? Looks so familiar.

You can hide the alcohol, but you can't hide your breath.

You can make the drive from one place to the other in about two hours. I'm significantly closer to Haddonfield.

What gets me is this movie was largely filmed in Utah. So unless there's a Santa Ynez in Utah I don't know about, they must have only filmed that one scene there and the rest in Utah.

Suspense music sounds Shining-esque in the beginning. But this movie came out before the Shining so that's interesting.

I wonder if Stephen King's inspiration for Christine came from this movie.

I don't think I recognize the older one. What was she in with Carpenter?

And damn it Lauren dying was a bummer.
