Ms Glick

Could be that Ralph was there when she "died" (chewing on her wrist by the side of her bed).

I think her "bent over backwards" posture when she attacked Ben and Cody was purely to illustrate the superhuman physical abilities of vampires (she actually "floated" off the slab).

To be honest, I hated Majorie Glick in this version (the bit where she opened the front door to Ralphie was dreadful acting). Clarissa Kaye in the 1979 version was much scarier.

I think she called out for Ralphie simply because he had been on her mind a lot around the time she was bitten and became undead, so when she woke up as a vampire for the first time, he was the first thing she thought of. Also I guess he was the last thing she saw before she became undead.

In the book it's Danny she calls out when she rises as a vampire because Danny was the one who came to visit her as a vampire and eventually turned her. I guess in this version it was Ralphie.

In the scene were Rob Lowe and the doc was watching her body in the morgue,
why did she say Ralphie where are you sweetheart? Like was she expecting him to be around?
Also, why when she was ready to attack she was still in the laying down position, she did not have rigor mortis
