The hand in the boiling hot pan


Did anyone notice that Barbara put her hand back in the pan AFTER Mara's eyes had returned to normal??

Was this a mistake, or just an after affect or something?

reply

I think it was a mistake on the special effects. I'm pretty sure their eyes glow when they take over someone and stop when they do.

Wanna get laid?
Crawl up a chicken's ass and wait.

You are mistaken. Mara's eyes did not stop glowing until after the mom put her hand into the pot. David's mom had to come and save her and the eyes were still glowing when david looked at her.

was funny how there was loads of steam before she put her hand in, and little to none when her hand was in the pot. easy goof, they could have used dry ice or something...

In the original she also did that for an unknown reason...So maybe Carpenter just respect the original....

Come on, now. I thought it was pretty obvious that it was because she was still under the kid's "spell" or whatever. Even after she stopped controlling her mind, Barbara still had that lingering uncontrollable desire to put her hand in that pot.

(Spoiler)what about when she commited suicide? her hand was not bandaged

reply

Also, before she jumps, the pan to Mara's face shows her eyes normal color, so how is she controlling her mom to make her commit suicide? I understand their powers get stronger as they age, they do not need direct eye contact to influence people, but their eyes always seemed to glow when they were controlling people and Mara was still just a toddler then.

I'm watching it this moment, and her hand wasn't even burned, let alone in bandages. :-)

Mara's Mother Jumped Because She was In terror and depression that the Child that she Gave Birth To Would do such evil things to her and If she tried to Mention Mara doing it People will think she is Insane (As Mara was still a baby)That is my Theroy Cause I dont think Mara Made her Jump

It bothered me that she was shown in the hospital afterwards, but what seemed like a short time later was walking around without any bandages or sign of burns.
