| Stupidest-Looking Monster | |

Like Mother, Like Son Jennifer runs. She finds the little boy, who must be an innocent victim of his deranged mother...right? Nope, the kid's just as evil and forty times as ugly (I mean really ugly).

SleepWHAT?!ing She sleepwalks onto a ledge, witnesses a bizarre murder (more head-through-glass action), drops through a hole, dangles from her nightgown, drops to the ground...wanders in a daze, then gets hit by a car. She tumbles from the car, watches some bugs, then meets a chimp. We see a bug's-eye view.

Drives Me Crazy The woman is reasonable and helpful. She says she will send Jennifer back on the train with some money, but the last train's already left. So she offers to let Jennifer stay with her for the night. In her creepy mansion. Where the mirrors are covered because her disfigured son doesn't like his reflection. But there's nothing suspicious here. Here, take these pills! I insist! Okay, I will!

| Crummiest Ending |
|
|
Chimpus Ex Machina The bad son has been stabbed, eaten by a horde of ravening flies, drowned, and finally burned. Now Jennifer swims back to shore. A car approaches. It's her father's agent -- at last, a friendly face! Whack! He's beheaded. The mother jumps up (Booo!). "Why don't you call your insects?!" (Actually, why doesn't she?) Well, she doesn't need to, because -- Whack! -- a seriously pissed-off chimp kills her from behind with some kind of knife or razor nobody knows how it obtained. Do I care? Nope. The End.
