Max was pretty quick to admit he was a virgin infront of Allison


Most guys would lie or be too embarrassed to admit it, but Max just straight up admitted it by saying he'd light the Black Flame Candle. I just found that odd, he seemed embarrassed to admit it to the fake cop though, yet he was fine with letting the hot girl he was crushing on know?

Allison already knew and, more importantly, Max knew that she knew.

Allison explained the legend quite clearly to Max and Dani. The legend was that the witches(1) would return if a virgin(2) lit the black flamed candle(3). I think it more unlikely that black flamed candle would even exist or that the witches would return, so once they all observed a black flame and the witches return, was there any doubt about the virgin part of the story?

reply

I always figured he just didn't really believe in the curse, and when nothing would happen after lighting it, he could claim extreme prowess, inflating his skill, as teen boys are wont to do.

reply

Agreed -- He already said Halloween was a conspiracy, he didn't believe in all this Sanderson Sister stuff, and it was all a bunch of hocus pocus; so lighting the candle, virgin or not, would not bring the witches back, he was just goofing around. I highly doubt he was aware he could be potentially alerting Alison to the fact he was a virgin by doing so!

reply

Dani had already stated it outright in front of Allison because of the results of the candle lighting, so he really wouldn't be hiding anything from her. It was more embarrassing to admit it to the 'cop' but he had to if he wanted to get some help. (Lot of good that did. LOL.)

That part where the fake cop asked Max if he was really a virgin would not be part of the movie if it was made today. It comes across as kind of pervy. Would any adult ask a child they didn't know that question?

reply

Perhaps not today, because everything/everyone is so censored.

reply

He was hoping she would take pity on him and do something about that problem

reply

Which she probably did after his heroic actions at the climax of the film.

YOUR SEVENTH POST IN TWO MONTHS IS A KNEE SLAPPER ABOUT CHILDREN IN A DISNEY FILM HAVING SEX...REPLIED TO AN EIGHT MONTH OLD POST...HILARIOUS.

Maybe it's because unlike you I actually do have a life and what are you the "I- respond-to- every-post-in-an-acceptable-response-time guru? Please oh and typing in caps is not convincing me that you're tough but it says you are locked up in your parents basement pissed at life. Btw, the topic of this post was not about two teens having sex but the fact that that's what you gathered speaks to your perverted tendencies.

Yes I believe you're right, she hopped right on his broomstick and he hocus poked it away

reply

LOL

He was hoping she would cure his predicament.

As far as I'm concerned most everyone in Jr. High or High School is lying about not being a virgin. Personally, I don't think anyone in highschool should have sex.
