The fact that this movie went from being an early 80s slasher to a late-80s supernatural horror film is honestly insane.

[@DodoRibeiro-ts6po]

Much like Urban Legend and IKWYDLS, where the two first installments went from whodunit slasher to supernatural horror movies in their respectively third movies

@@IncredibleMan12308 it was actually a little weird and sad. Between takes he was very obviously an old man, all hunched over and moving very slow. As soon as action was called he would immediately become the Leslie Nielsen we love on screen, but then as soon as cut was called he would literally hobble back to trailer and have to rest before the next take. He was absolutely a fantastic person though.

Wendy's chase scene is one of the best ever in horror. I like that despite being the cliche "bitchy girl," she is treated sympathetically as she fights for her life. It's such a long chase, and you really start to believe she can make it. The fact that the killer sprints after her makes it even more intense.
