ALEXANDER! WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOUR EYEBALL?
And I’m guessing this was before the real Max was born, no Judith (Daughter of KW and Carol, so I’m guessing they were like 10 years old and Ira is 5, no GF.)
1990s and 2000’s kids were traumatized by Douglas’s arm getting ripped off, While 1950s kids were traumatized by the “roared their terrible roars, and gnashed their terrible teeth, and rolled their terrible eyes, and showed their terrible claws, while 1970s and 1980s kids were traumatized by KW’s head getting ripped off (I know her name is Tzippy, but I’m a 2009 kid, nearly twelve and I saw the movie recently.) Honestly, I am kinda glad they did not add Judith because if she’s already kinda scary in the movie, and kinda makes the movie scary, so she would be more traumatizing in the movie.
