The COP closes the door and we hear a clash of thunder and the credits roll to the Halloween Theme, while we hear DR. LOOMIS's voice over. DR. LOOMIS (V.O.) I met this six year old with no knowledge of life or death, good or evil. I met this six year old child with a black, pale, emotionless face with the blackest eyes...the devil's eyes. I spent six years trying to reach him, and another seven trying to keep him locked up. He was nothing but pure evil.

Molly: Well we've got a psychotic serial killer in the family that likes to butcher people on Halloween so I just thought it was in bad taste to celebrate. Molly: Why Now?

I think that he was so paralyzed by fear that he never did anything. It took death for the guy to finally get a clue. Laurie: And why do you think he was finally able to confront his monster? Molly: He reached a point in his life where he had nothing else to loose. The monster saughted out by killing everything Victor loved so he finally had to face it. It was about redemption.
