Review: This is one of the more screwed
up episodes of this series; the demented killer is truly screwed in the
head and killing all of these innocent people certainly got to me after
awhile. May sound strange after seeing season one in it�s entirety, but
even repeated viewings of this one still kind of creep me out. It�s not
even the shot of dangling, strung up corpses�just the fact that someone
actually did this.
With the screwed up portions aside, we delve into more of Terry�s
situation after having an episode in-between with little revealed.
Hiding from Wynn�s men, Terry eventually ends up with this killer who
believes it�s his �duty� to kill Terry. Of course this twisted
individual has some kind of satanic infestation, which we later learn is
Malebolgia (or one of this demons anyway). This killer had killed all
these people for Spawn, though the full reason was never really
clear�just to piss Spawn off probably. Of course it did piss him off, as
the killer ended up strung up with the rest of his victims.
This episode was also the first time Wanda saw Spawn. Naturally she�s
scared out of her mind and her car that won�t start is only freaking her
out more as Spawn lurks closer to her vicinity. Her car is eventually
able to start and Spawn cries out to Wanda, who drives like a bat out of
hell to get out of there.
Overall there was plenty to see in this episode. Oddly enough as
disturbing as it is, it�s still one of my favorite episodes from the
second season. The title is also quite interesting�obviously there�s a
reason for it, as discussed in the very opening dialogue. Also
interesting is the lack of Clown (at least I can�t remember him
appearing) in this episode.
