Were The Parents Medicated?
They seemed very accepting of losing their house. All smiles no matter what. I am suspicious of such people.
shareAnd the father was so dense. The ghost shows him that the bed Zorba died in had a hidden device to make the canopy lower and crush the person in it, and all the father does is watch this with a kind of totally blank expression and then just walks out and never says anything about it.
"What I got don't need pearls." -- Linda Darnell (1923-65)
And Medea sees a hideous man in her bedroom, screams, and then - nothing. Not a word about it. Time and again they were told bad things would happen in the house, and yet they stayed. He had a decent job at the museum, surely they could have gone to a motel.
But that would have spoiled all the fun.
Everybody seems to be forgetting the part where the wife told him they only had $2 in savings and he wouldn't be getting paid. WHY Does everybody think they lost the house AND the furniture in the first place?
shareHeheee....no i think they were just typical clueless parents of that era.
A possibly haunted house is better than no house! (why were they so down on their luck anyway? everyone seemed fine, they were just broke?!)
ghosts: they didn't believe in such things, so...they figured if they kept their heads buried in the sand long enough, maybe all the freaky things would just stop happening and they could keep the house
Why do you think they call it dope?
I noticed that in the end they were just happy they had the money. They didn't really seem to care much that they almost lost their son due to murder. I would hope any real parents would be heartbroken beyond belief that they came an eyelash's distance away from losing their own child. But I don't like to nitpick tiny details that aren't even that important so I love the film anyways.
