Carol Anne dead


Re-watched this recently, and was shocked at the creepy scene of Carol Anne having her life force sucked out and turning into a decayed corpse. Of course, who knew that Heather O' Rourke would pass on so young years later, but it's still a disturbing visual.

That scene never fails to chill me. Seriously, no matter how many times I watch it.
The thought of this innocent girl being 'drained' by this incredible evil, and mixed with her family being forced to watch this is horrifying.

I was devastated by Heather O'Rourke's death. In that time, you didn't hear much about child actors passing away and hers was especially grim because she suffered so.
I still remember the quote from her mom in a magazine: "I'll never forget my beautiful, smiling Heather."
It makes me tear up just to write this.

I didn't think this film was especially good, but that's a seriously impressive effect for its time. Morphing with computers was still a few years away when they pulled that one off. I'd be curious to know how they did it. I'm guessing a bunch of dissolves between various stages of prosthetics/dummy heads.

I watched this tonight, and the scene that got to me a little was when she said to her grandmother,' i don't want to grow up'

That had more of an affect on me than the scene of her being 'dead'


Nowhere near as good as the first film, felt more like Tremors or something

I have to agree 100 percent about her words to her grandma that was foreshadowing her untimely tragic death and it made me choke up a little

The eldest daughter, played by Dominque Dunne was brutally strangled and murdered by her ex-boyfriend in 1982-I believe the boyfriend received less then 5 years due to an incompetent judge more interested in the publicity he received then a fair and balanced trial. Her father Dominick Dunne wrote several articles-one in-depth in Vanity Fair Magazine, that is online:
