So uh ya know, it can't come back to life in 23 yrs? You have the thing dormant and in your possession - chop It up so it can't come back and kill you when it wakes up in a quarter century.
Can't do that tho. Too logical. And can't have a trilogy.
No kidding, burn the thing, use the sack of ashes in a brick building venture. Also, after twenty three years, not one prof from the local community college ever got wind of this thing? And speaking of that, don't you think that there would've been a whole bunch of families wondering where there kids were that night? And dead kids scattered out around a ten acre area, and twenty three years later, no one's ever heard of it, and the guy that killed the thing just hung it up like a deer head?
