Earth, Wind, Fire and Water
*SPOILER ALERT*
If there are people who have not seen this episode, don't read...
Ok, I re-watched this episode on YouTube the other night and I was trying to make sense of it...What was the connection between the people in the art/craft shop and the entities in the jars? Were they descendants of the witches imprisoned there...because I was wondering - why were the people sucked into each jar and did they all somehow become possessed or were they possessed BEFORE they all mysteriously disappeared?
There was a mention of a woman called Kristen in the early scenes before the cast list credits rolled...yet who was she - and which of the women BECAME Kristen? Nobody in the (women's)group was called by that name (and maybe that was a plus, coz it may have given the entire motivation of the mysterious voices in the jar away far too early.)
Suffice to say, it was apparent the jars were somehow "seducing" the artists...and when each had done what work was assigned to them - they served their purpose and went "away". Perhaps their true natures were hidden until then...it was probably left for the viewer to figure out, who the jar beings were, whst did they do to merit being imprisoned in the jar...and so forth.
The handsome guy (Frank Converse, was it?)who "survived"....probably didn't get away scot free as the jar being who was using him as a "host" took it's revenge and turned his features into the same aspect as the sculpture he was working on. It's just too bad he happened to be around...when obviously he was needed to fill the "missing" spot left vacant after the other protagonists were literally "sucked in"....each assuming an outward humanity whose sinister motives became evident...
Oh well, if they had left the jars were they were, there wouldn't have been much of a "ghost" story, would there?
"Live long and prosper"
