Red Herring | |
| Tourist Trap / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: Early on, Slausen talks about his brother, who apparently had a knack for creating mannequins and working with mechanical objects. Because the death of Woody involved moving mannequins and flying objects, the audience assumes that the brother is responsible and is residing at a nearby house. | |
