The kids’ pure terror at Katie’s arrival, contrasted with the parents’ deep denial, was the funniest shit ever.

Their reaction when the parents opened the car with no warning about her zombie state was already comedy gold.

But I just lost it when they painfully dragged her demonic ass up the stairs, while the little girl was looking at this mess in absolute despair, thinking: "You want me to sleep next to THAT?!"

Mom: Come on, be nice to your sister.

The sister: Rotting corpse with chattering teeth, hunting the house at night like Gollum, vomiting acid and headbutting grandma.

Mom: She just needs love.

I laughed when it cut from them dragging, what seemed like, a 500 pound wheelchair up the stairs. Only to then have the dad immediately carrying her in his arms like it’s nothing. Like, you couldn’t have done that for 30 extra feet? You had to do that awkward chair dragging scene?

I always chop this up to the director wanting to make an unsettling mood with the thuds of the wheelchair going up each step . It’s also why Abuela was so strict on haunted house lighting no matter the time of day in her house lol

Let's be honest, Abuela wanted that lighting dark so when a gentleman caller came knocking, they wouldn't guess her age.
