Good movie!
Great episode! Great movie! When Bill mentioned the name Lulu, my mind went back to one of 3 episodes of The Honeymooners I ever saw. When he brought up that episode, it was the weirdest thing ever. But as far as the movie, when the mother looks in the mirror and sees something peeking around the corner at her…oh, man! Freaky stuff!
Lol!!! I just read Bill your comment. He wants me to tell you “good man for knowing about the Honeymooners!”
Yes, this movie is scary! I love it! That Annabelle doll looks so creepy to me. SO creepy.
Thanks for the comment, Dr. Acula!
