Something up in those woods… it brings things back.
Kings Constant Readers and fans of the 1989 movie will see a few familiar faces among the flashes.
Theres one weve seen before.
And one who remains a mystery.
Theres no mistaking this frightening shape Zelda, Rachels sister, who suffered horribly from spinal meningitis.
Rachel simultaneously loved and feared her sister, terrified by the disease that was knotting and twisting her body.
In the book shes 10, actually, Widmyer told EW when we visited the set last summer.
We went more accurate with that.
It exists in sort of a hyperreality, like shes wearing a Victorian nightgown, Widmyer said.
The grounded nature of that horror would actually be scarier than a supernatural version of it, he added.
In the novel, Zelda was far from a cheap scare.
How the parents kind of give up, and what that would do to someone.
And then how that would be seen from an 8-year-olds point of view.
Going in that room to bring food to her?
How scary that would be.
That brings us to the other mysterious figure in this teaser: the woman with the scissors.
Shes clearly undead, but who is she?
He seems to be under attack by her, but this could also be a distortion in his mind.
Or perhaps its a vision, too.
The supernatural power within the woodsdoeshave the ability to distort perception and reality.
Well find out more April 5.
