Just wondering how/when did Nan die??? We see her body at the bottom of the well. Just curious when she bit the big one.

I always took it when she is on the porch reading and she sees "Muffy" going into the shed with the basket. She runs after her and the next time we see her is in the well dead.

Not true. Last time we see her, she talks to Muffy about the tape.

at that point I think Muffy saw Nan was pretty fucking pissed with the baby noise.. and probably just told her about the "prank"

so we see Nan in the well and out of the game.

She did not die. I guess you did not watch the entire movie.....

@Jackrabbit_ Huh? Sounds like you didn't watch. Nan's body was at the bottom of the well. If you mean that she didn't really die, well duh. Nobody did.

These pc-obsessed times are getting old.

I watched this every April 1st, and watching it this year, I noticed that Nan was in the well, but we'd never seen her actually "get killed". I'd not picked up on that before, for whatever reason.

Maybe a good explanation is that Muffy felt bad the way her prank was taken, and explained the joke to Nan when nobody else was around. They couldn't show that for fear of spoiling the ending. If not shown, it also gives the impression that after they argued "Buffy" killed her. Which is what the film wants us to think until the end.
