Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: Rag journalist John Garrett (Terence Knox) and his rebellious teenaged son Danny (Paul Scherrer) arrive in Gatlin, Nebraska to get the scoop on the murders which happened previously only to become entangled in the horror themselves when He Who Walks Behind the Rows possesses Micah (Ryan Bollman) who just happens to be living in the bed and breakfast where they are staying.

Kitty Cameo: The elderly Ruby Burke (Marty Terry) keeps warning everyone about the evil children and plans to move her entire house out of town. The house is on hydraulic lifts when she ventures outside looking for her calico cat Elmira who has sought some shade beneath the building.

Mrs. Burke stupidly crawls beneath the house to retrieve her kitty, who of course skitters away from her.

The woman is startled when she sees the legs of the children surround her house. One boy reaches down and picks up Elmira, ensuring her safety before they drop the house on their screaming victim.
