One of the creepiest parts (for me)...


During that neighborhood party when the men are talking about the whacko who killed his family and someone says something like "what kind of maniac would do that?" (or whatever the statement was) and Jerry is making the newspaper hat and he says quietly "Maybe they disappointed him." Aaaaahhh!


"Why couldn't the monkey arrange this from INSIDE the garbage can?"

reply

I agree. And O'Quinn really 'sells' the line, followed by that chilling look up right afterwards.

Wait a minute... who am I here?

reply

He was so serious and genuine about it.


"Rock 'n roll martian!"

reply

Yes. That creeps me out too.

reply

Or those stabbing motions he makes with his array of tools down cellar.

reply

Yes!! Plus the next biggest one is when he says “Wait now who am I here” or something like that. Even as a kid that scared me. Also at the beginning when he walks past the bodies and hangs up the phone like he’s tidying up.

How about the way he pushes the girl on the swing? Creepy!
