More interesting is the etymology back through challenge, the chal part of which is believed to come from calumny, which is all about trickery and deception. This (probably dubious) article even finds both a Latin and a Celtic root, both of which are all about trickery, confusion, and bewichment. h...

Possible. But then: Why would Mrs. Chalfont reject creamed corn? The well rejecting the water?

That was my thought.

Still, Mrs. Chalfont always seems to mean well, doesn't she? As in, her name means well. "This is the water. And this is the well. Drink full and descend." Well, this may as well be the well. If her name means well, maybe she does not mean well at all. So: What is the water? Garmonbozia?

[quote="Saturn's child"][quote="Drgarage"]One interesting note: Chalfont as a name originates to an Olde English place name specifying the location of a well. And Tremond more or less literally means "Tree of Life." Are the Chalfonts Judy, i.e.: the source of all pain a...

I'm more inclined to think the Jumping Man is another visual shade of Judy, if those brief visual connections are to be given weight, than to remove all the other satisfying plot and thematic implications that Sarah is Judy. There is definitely a connection between the Jumping Man and Judy (and by ...

Why is everyone so sure that the Sarah is possessed by Judy? All the clues we have received are that Sarah is possessed by the Jumping Man. The Jumping Man might be a different aspect of the grandson, but there has always been another Chalfont besides the grandson. Especially in light of the last s...

I just rewatched both parts (couldn't resist) and the little move that Cooper makes right before he says "What year is this?" to Laura is not a Dougie move as some has described it (at least not only).. it's the almost exact move that Mister C makes before being thrown into the White Lodg...

First line of the whole season, said to Cooper by the Fireman.

With Judy being a potentially demonic evil entity, it really makes Jeffries' dialogue in FWWM a bit .. incongruous? Doesn't he say something along the lines of "Judy is *sure* of this!", in regards to the convenient store and stuff. I know they're just repurposing old stuff, but, that lin...

To add--other than Woodsmen, the Jumping Man is the only consistent spirit at the Dutchman's.

Longtime lurker, just registered because a few things make sense to me that I haven't seen discussed yet: -- Everyone is saying that Sarah is possessed by Judy. But the actual imagery around her dark side seems connected to the Jumping Man and/or the Boy. Richard and Carrie went to Sarah's house exp...
