I was about to send a PM asking when would the grab bag come back, but no need to anymore. Halloween is my favorite even on these forums.
Is it just me, or is it rare to see a fat person being stabbed to death in horror movie? This is one of the few scenes I've seen where fatty gets stabbed, even though the guy is finished off with a tv.

Luca Brasi was also sort of fat and also got his hand stabbed like that. You can say that this guy is now having a sweet dream while sleeping with the fishes.

Interesting. And I thought the deaths on Final Destination 2 where very gory and staged. But death by a TV, that has to be a first in cinema.
By the way, I think you should mention the Death by... hamster? from 3 Dev Adam. Yeah, I know that movie is as scary as a mittened kitten, but, c'mon, to kill someone with a roedent in a tube? That has to take a lot of careful planning and it has to be scary as hell.

What a great movie. The production value of it just adds to the creepyness of it. Great ending too.

To go off Rankeri's point, for some reason, I always found it more "real" and unsettling when a fat guy gets stabbed repeatedly in a film as opposed to a thin person. I wonder why that is.

Henry Lee Lucas was only confirmed to have killed one person, his shit-house crazy mother.
He's confessed to countless others, a lot of which have been proven false.
Still a kickass movie, though.

And by the way, Otis was actually based on a killer named Ottis Toole. He was the sicko who confessed to murdering John Walsh's son.

It's been awhile since I've seen this flick. I think the woman with the bottle in her head is one of the more memorable images.

"Henry" is VERY loosely based on the life of Henry Lee Lucas. The aptly named Otis Toole did confess to the murder of Adam Walsh, but whether that confession is geniune or not is debatable.
Definitely one film I've seen a few too many times. The ending still cuts deep on every viewing.
Otis: I'd like to kill somebody.
Henry: Say that again.
Otis: I'd like to kill somebody.
Henry: Let's me and you go for a ride, Otis

Because there are more fat people than skinny people?

There's a few good 'fat guy gets whacked' scenes in horror cinema. One classic is in Friday the 13th Part 5 where the tubby semi-retarded fellow pisses off the Norman Bates guy and gets hacked to death. And another is from Hell High in which a tubby guy, on his way to the bathroom, gets a pencil shoved into his temple and blunders around for a few seconds before finally falling down.
