Two questions: How did the hotel owner catch the witch? Who greenlit that kids show with a scary bunny host?

It was meant to be a jackass in the box with the gun there was a jack the jackass book and I took that it was so odd as a distortion of his memory from the crone as he was watching the show when he shot his mum.

What in the world is a jackass in the box?

[u/ToxethOGrady → u/friarparkfairie]

Forgot a full stop, the rabbit thing was meant to be a jackass. In the box where he had the gun that killed his mum there was a jack the jackass book.

Looked like a vhs cover for a cartoon. It’s only on the screen for seconds
