In any event, once the mouthy henchdemon's echoing screams have dissipated, Michelle Stafford -- standing in the foreground of the shot in horrendously rendered green-screen, by the way -- once more smoothes her hair and smiles, "We need to create a comfortable place for the boy -- a familiar place, or else he'll never do what I want him to do." Michelle Stafford's tense minions gaze at her warily as she twitches her head around a couple of times before her eyes roll back in their sockets and she drops out of the frame to the floor, leaving behind the dark demonic force who's apparently been possessing her body all this time. Allow me a moment, if you will, to praise the work of the makeup department here. They've uglified Elizabeth Greer, the actress portraying the demonette, to the point that several long seconds had passed before I realized she wasn't a man. In fact, in this initial shot, she sort of looks like Wentworth Miller, of all people. Without the elaborate tattoo, of course. Well, I'm assuming, because she's thoroughly covered up in a black-on-black-on-black turtleneck/dress pants/calf-length coat combo here. In any event, fiendish Elizabeth Greer shoots a withering, contemptuous sneer at Michelle Stafford's unconscious form before turning her beetle-black gaze on her greasily poofy primary henchdemon. "Don't let that thing die," she growls through a set of discolored dentures, referring of course to Michelle Stafford. "Not 'til after I'm done using it to get [the Psycho]." Fiendish Elizabeth Greer's pasty, corpse-like visage hangs on the screen for a moment before disappearing into the first commercial break. ["I thought that effect was a little bit cool. This is what we call 'grasping at straws,' boys and girls." -- Sars]
