Turn to dust


I TOTALLY remember seeing this movie as a little kid. Tell me if I'm right or wrong... isn't there a scene at the end where all of these bikers turn into dust?

No, they turn into stonehenge like rock formations.

What most people don't get is that the bikers(supposedly like the seven witches which are the other stonehenge formations in the film) can never die.

Tom himself says, "You can only die once. After that, no one and nothing can kill you."

They did not die but were encased in the stone.

Forever alive, able to hear and fathom the world around them, but blind and unable to move.

That is why everyone was so scared of the "Seven Witches". They too had broken a pact of immortality and were able to discern events around them. Although powerless, the thought they were still cognizant and evil frightened everyone.

I think like most people here I first saw it when I was a kid. I had a big imagination and my mind was like a sponge.Give me two and two at that age and I would have made five.
I made the film fit places that I'd visited with my parents on days out in the car.
I always thought that the stone circle was the one near Black Marsh in Shropshire. I thought this because it looks similar and there is an old tale about a witch who turned to stone there.
The roads the police chased them on in the film look the same as the ones to the aforementioned stone circle from Shrewsbury. Lots of manor houses around there look like the Latham house and there is a geographical feature near it called 'The Devil's Chair' which always spooked me. Even the freshly built M54 (in the early 70s) motorway back home from there reminded me of the one in the film.
