It's like the ghosts of the Shining specifically possessing Jack. I find it more interesting when the object of evil (here, the car, there, the hotel), are more a corrupting influence, where instead of sidelining the existing personality and slipping NoelCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744014386233716741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727181806679003267.post-2389939620700687692014-02-05T12:41:29.730-06:002014-02-05T12:41:29.730-06:00I didn't remember the part about being afraid ...I didn't remember the part about being afraid of a car attacking you, but I did remember you saying you wanted to "keep in touch" with the characters. :) I wouldn't mind having Leigh as a friend, but yeah, unfortunately Dennis rubbed me the wrong way.
