Dick Baxter Keeps On Truckin....


One of the first victims of the Ghombies' chaotic return, Dick is ambushed and slaughtered from behind in the pilothouse of the Sea Grass. Pokey pokey...out with his eyeballs! But Dick still has vision so to speak. He propels himself at scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, falling on her from his hiding place in a scene that scared the living hell out of me as a child. Those damn empty eye sockets....But Dick is resilient; he wakes up in the morgue to engage in some non verbal communication with Jamie YET AGAIN, walking up to her and falling abruptly, perhaps stumbling on an untied shoe lace. He even managed to scribble her a message on the floor with a scalpel. Thank you for coming back again and again, Dick, and showing us that we are really capable of anything if we put our minds to it.

Both creepy scenes that are still effective and would have scared the crap out of me too before I became so desensitized as an adult.
