One thing about Lynda's death


One thing I never considered about Lynda's death. When Michael comes to the bedroom as a ghost, Lynda assumes it's Bob messing around. She never questions that it might be someone else. It's safe to presume that as she's being strangled, she believes she's being killed by her boyfriend.

Not necessarily.

I assumed that she realised when she was being strangled that it wasn't him. When he was under the sheet, Lynda had no real reason to assume it was anybody other than Bob joking about, or trying to spook her. But when he attacked her, she could've noticed in the moment that it wasn't him.

I thought she turned on Bob rather quick after their escapades in the sack. "Boy, are you weird." Lighten up, skank.

JC never wanted anyone to think this much about the movie. Just eat your popcorn and have some fun!
