The mother's sister


You know, the one who was bedridden with disfigurements and a badly-twisted spine? Was that in the book and original movie, too? That deserved a movie in its own right, especially the thumping, scratching and creaking it did, and the whole dumb waiter thing. I actually found this aspect of the story creepier than some ancient cursed land which brings dead things back to life.

no, it was not in the book, or movie at all. she had some sort of spinal disorder, and was technically insane from years of neglect, placed in the care of an 8 year old, and just laying in bed all day. in the original book and movie, she died by choking i believe, choked to death in the presence of her 8 year old sister Rachel. I hope this helps.

reply

Yes it was. In both the book and the previous movie.

Ah yes, I've seen that character before, in clips. As well as the killer toddler. I never saw the original movie, however. Maybe it's time to correct that oversight?

reply

Maybe. The toddler was REALLY creepy - did a great job.

reply

yes you are correct. I ve read the book a long time ago lol. What i believe the OP was referring to was the dumb waiter incident. That wasn't in the book, unless I am wrong.. I don't remember the sister being able to even get up to a dumb waiter as Rachel brought her meals up to her. Please let me know if the dumb waiter incident was in the book., would be interesting for sure.

reply

No the dumb waiter was not in the book. Its kind of a cool new element to add as it gives Rachel even more of a reason to feel guilty and scared of zeldas memory.

reply

yeah, thought so. thanks for confirming that
