That scene is still scary after all of these years. What's amazing is that it's clearly lit, the camera is unmoving (except for the one cutaway to Maddy), and everything moves at such a leisurely pace. No tricks, no mood lighting or dark colors, or anything else of the sort. And yet it is hair-raisingly creepy.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It'll give you nightmares.
I think it's a little bit the face-glimpsed-at-the-window vibe and also the intrusion into the typical suburban home. Plus that angle its shot and the way he moves smoothly and freakily into the frame, gliding over the furniture in a very predatory, reptilian fashion.

All my ~ma are yours, sj. I tend to not like using the word 'deserve,' because I think if I, for one, got what I deserved, I'd be in a world of hurt. But in this case, I think it's fair to say that I think you deserve some smooth sailing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Teppy, if it makes you feel any better, my friend thought it was John Cleese.
Oh suckage. that's too bad. well - guess I'd better save us some seats in the heckling section tonight.
I really liked it. So far, I appear to be the only Buffista who does, though.
Mommies! Don't buy your bibs from Wal-Mart. THEY HAVE LEAD IN THEM.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm not usually looking for these things, yesterday's Kim Possible was the slashiest kid's TV show I've ever seen.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
vw, dude, that's almost nutritious, compared to the chocolate-covered peanuts I'm having.

All is well that ends in pizza.
