If candy, sex and horror, in that order, sounds like a good time to you, then maybe I can help.

The error here would seem to be the unnecessary addition of paranormal activity to the mix. Having to live in suburban yuppie starter tract house? A HORROR OF UNSPEAKABLE PROPORTION.

"candy-coated demon cock" – now there's a phrase to tell the kids. Have to start finding ways to work that one into conversation.

So that's what I need to do in order to get some Xanax? Fine by me!

Exactly. They always say, "I'll be RIGHT BACK." But they never come back.

1. You need to smoke a bowl before you go to these types of things. I jumped out of my fucking seat at the end.
2. I was separated from the 14 bearded friends with whom I saw this because I just couldn't understand the ticket machine so I had to go back as I didn't actually have a ticket, I had the receipt from the previous person. So, anyway, when my ticket-taker said to me, "Sir, this is an extremely scary movie. I hope you're not alone seeing this." Of course for the first moment I thought he was flirting with me, but then self-doubt kicked in and I decided he wasn't. Regardless, it was a good line.
3. How is this couple "photogenic"? They were rather plain-looking.
4. The boyfriend is a good guy? He's a fucking douche!!! He ramps up the problem despite his girlfriend imploring him not to do so. HELLO?!?
5. When the girlfriend explained to the boyfriend that this "spirit" had been haunting her for a very long time, I turned and told a bearded friend, "This is when I would be breaking up with her, for sure."

I read it as an editor's comment on the writer's punctuation choices.

We fixed! Not Ms. Lafsky's problem, it is the problem of her idiot editor who had CAPS LOCK on. Ha.

Nice prose (love M.L.), but broken emm-dash tags…
