Shouldn't Frank be fleeing town at the end of the film? (spoilers)


Yes, I know, suspension of disbelief, but to anyone who can't see ghosts, he's incredibly suspicious in terms of his connections to the heart attack deaths. First Ray, a man he saw right before his death and argued with, dies, then a man in the exact same bathroom as him, and then the newspaper woman--who he seemingly "threatened" in a crowded museum, assaulted, kidnapped, and then got into a fatal crash with! And there's nothing at the end to suggest that the general public knows about Johnny committing the murders (though the sheriff seems to believe Frank), so unless the police found some way to convince the public that Patricia was behind it all or something, Frank should probably look out for an angry mob coming his way.

Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you or me.

The sheriff likes and believes Frank. He'd also believe Lucy about what happened at the house, a figure under the carpet, a ghost pinning her down ready for Patricia to stab etc. Patricia's mother is also in the house stabbed to death with a knife that will have Patricia's fingerprints all over it. Same with the gun that killed Dammers. They also found Ouija boards in the house, and Magda's dead so there's no one at the local gazette with an axe to grind against Frank.


See if you bastards can do 90
