Notes

add »
The new title sequence goes as follows: Debra is looking at a drawing Ally made while Ray is looking out of the window. He then sees his parents and his brother leaving their house and he yells "They're coming." A classic zoomed Jaws-style close-up of absolute "terror" is shown on Ray's face. The classical music "Ode To Joy" starts booming out of Ray's speakers on his Hi-Fi and the Barone family enters slow-motion. Ray and Debra are trying to make it look as though they are not home, and a stuffed toy is thrown at the stereo, shutting off the music. Ray gets there just in time to put the lock on the door before his parents arrive. He sits by the door with a "phew!" look on his face and is then startled by his mother's hand touching his head coming though the letterbox realizing she knows that he is there. (edit)
