it should be hard to forget. must have been a long time since you last watched?
More than ten years I believe. I could always picture the final scene but the plot escaped me over the years and it popped back in when Jack Albertson was working on a body. Lol
Such a fun twist. Saw that movie for the first time maybe five years ago. Felt like a long episode of The Twilight Zone. Definitely dig it.

I do believe I can get two or three more movies in today. Not sure what the hell to go with, as I'd be mildly distracted what with trick or treaters and such.

Updated my list for the final time. Ended with 135 total this month. Fun times.

I'll do a breakdown between first-time watches and rewatches, along with a breakdown by decade, tomorrow.

Hope everyone has fun with their final Halloween viewings.
