 Day 192


May 9th, 2024


Chapter 18


The end is near.


This is a straightforward chapter yet again. It has a nice mix of what is happening in Lori’s dream and the remainder of the group dealing with the aftermath of the car wreck/arriving at Camp Crystal Lake.


I liked the nice nod to Jason Takes Manhattan in this chapter, but I am confused about how they suddenly knew that Jason went up the coast of New York. It must have been in the search Linderman did earlier on Jason.


The chapter has an intriguing sequence that pops up in Lori’s dream. That would be Dr. Campbell not killing his wife as seen in the film, but what the film lacked would have improved the film. The doctor had to cover up the crime because nobody would understand that she died in her dreams; he needed Sherrif Williams to help cover up what happened.  He had to persuade the sheriff to believe him about Freddy. I find that hard to believe, given what was established at the beginning of the book. 


Interesting epilog to Dream Warriors: Nancy died, as seen in the film; Dr Neil Gordon, Dr. Elizabeth Simms, and the survivors of that film all died after being off Hypnocil. 


It was Dr. Campbell who re-opened Westin Hills, and it was him and Sherriff Williams plan to lock up any kids who had any interaction with Freddy there and treat them with Hypnocil. They did this to save lives…


Shocking revelations that would have made the movie better are revealed in the chapter as it comes to a close; we end with Freddy killing Lori’s mother.

Pee Wee

  Day338 October 2, 2024 I loved the Pee Wee Herman reference in the film with the line, "I know you are but what am I?" It was a humorous and nostalgic moment that added a touch of lightheartedness to the scene.

Holding onto a memory

-
  Day 310 September 4th, 2024 As a child, I believe that my experience of being frightened by a My Buddy doll is what has instilled in me a deep appreciation for Chucky. It's a memory that has both positive and negative aspects, and over time, I've come to value its impact on my life. Since 1988, I've held onto a vivid memory. Over time, I transitioned from being terror-stricken by anything related to horror to developing an appreciation for horror films. In the initial stages of this project, my primary focus was on Freddy vs Jason. However, after 300 days, I found it necessary to diversify and acknowledge that I've also dedicated a significant amount of time to watching Child's Play.

Completion anxiety

-
  Day 312 September 6, 2024 I've just realized that as the deadline approaches, I need to watch the Spanish version of Child's Play in order to fully complete that part of the project. On another note, I'm still making progress with listening to the book. This will certainly help me when it comes to reading the final four scripts, as I'll have a better understanding of the background and context.
