"We don't have it" she says

"Oh, and The Fog...and I think the original is better than the remake. Now, clean up the popcorn, and try to keep the screaming down...and no more than one movie at a time, please?"

"Yes, Hearth" Making a mental note of the fog

"Oh..." Disappointed.

Sylvi nods, "Okay, Mom." Still staring. Kerri strokes her hair a moment in a maternal gesture, then heads out of the room and shuts the door again.

"Maybe somebody else has it?"

"You didn't tell us your mom was like a horror expert?" Siv ssays to Sylvi

Sylvi shakes her head, still staring at the door. "I didn't know!"

"Maybe Kerri has Jaws!"

"Maybe she does" Surprised.

"I haven't actually seen it."

"Wow....she might. I just... I never thought they had any!"

"I bet Olgar knows good movies, too."

"guess they were young once too" An almost alien thought

"Probably...." Whole new worlds of my-parents-are-people are opening up for Sylvi.

"Oh, weird. No."

"Ha" A smile, "Now this is funny. We watch a guy get cut open with a chainsaw, and we're okay mostly...but the grumps having once been wilders is an idea an THAT wigs us out"

That gets a laugh. "Well, yeah, 'cause that just can't be!"

"But they're so old!"

"Well, they're not as old as the Chieftain. Or the Mountain."

"My folks aren't that old. I mean, okay, technically they're older but time went all wibbly wobbly"

"No offense, Siv, but the Chieftain was a grump way before I was born. That's OLD."

"My mom's almost thirty." She volunteers. "Matt and Jenn are way older."

"Well, they're young at hea...nope, can't even say that' She sets the movie back up, "ready to resume and see if that girl ever gets out?"

"Okay!"

Sylvi passes what's left of the popcorn around.

Munch munch munch.

"we do need to clean up later. I said we would, but for now..." the film resumes

"We didn't say when. But yeah, before ....oh, wait, she didn't....OH!"

"Omigawd, they're fuckin' still alive?!?"

Sylvi claps a hand over her mouth to stifle a yelp.

"Okay that's ...weird" As leather face cross dresses, "not because it's drag, but because it's ... the whackjob killer in a dress"

"Yeah, that's pretty twisted."

"Oh, oh, c'mon! Go for it!"

Looks like Grandpa gets the chance to kill her, but his age makes him miss.. and the girl escapes and runs, the family of maniacs after here as the movie comes to a end.

"She might make it!"

"Go go go go go go!"

A startle-jump, and there goes more popcorn.

A little yipe-jump when Leatherface appears again! She purples, covering her mouth.

"Oh come ON! What's the guy flicker flash?"

But the girl gets to the truck, lead pipe hits leather face and...she gets away!

"Go!"

"She survives???"

"She does!"

"Ugh, but Leatherface is still OUT THERE SOMEWHERE......"

"And his family with him Brrr"

"Creepers."

"Okay, I am so crossing Texas off the list of places to visit...."

She laughs at that

"I wanna go though, for real. Like, all over."
