Skeleton key why mirrors

Please don't do this!

Answer: In that particular scene with the servants and the kids, you'll notice that the servants' eyes are rolled back into their heads and they're shaking uncontrollably.

I think this is because they were drugged. You'll also notice they never try to fight being hung, never cry out or anything. They just keep shaking with their eyes rolled upward. They weren't drugged, they were in a possessed state. Answer: Actually it's the opposite The servants in the kids bodies are watching the kids getting burned in the servants bodies they already switched bodies.

Question : Why was the key broken off in the lock to the hoodoo room? Don't the servants use the room every few years to transfer their souls into someone else? Why break the lock to the main room you need to do your sacrifices in? Chosen answer: I believe it was part of the plan to get Caroline to believe in hoodoo. Violet sent Caroline to the attic to get Caroline to witness the occurrence of the door rattling. This would cause Caroline to become curious and enter the room.

Once Caroline saw the hoodoo artifacts, the idea of hoodoo becomes more real for her. They had to get her to believe in hoodoo in order for the magic to work. Question : Is the house used in this movie the same as in Forrest Gump?

The house used in Forrest Gump was a set built just for the movie in South Carolina. The house for The Skeleton Key was in Louisiana. The Forrest Gump home in Greenbow, Alabama actually filmed in a parish in South Carolina was torn down along with Jenny's house, which was also a set. Question : Can someone please explain the ending to me?

Keys and locks originated in ancient civilizations, and have been dated as far back as BC. Genuine antique skeleton keys are quite collectible, although their value varies greatly, depending upon their age, scarcity, embellishments or details, their weight, shape, and size. Truth is, keys can indeed be recycled at most recycling centers in the mixed metals bin.

Just make sure you take off the little rubber edging you have around it first. They can often melt down and reuse the metal. Take the key to a hardware store and ask the key maker if they know what the letter and number designation on the key signifies.

Keys usually are coded by type of lock they fit and this could identify old keys. Keep keys dry to prevent rusting in the first place; if you have rusted keys, use vinegar to remove the rust. Soak Object Allow the vinegar to soak in for at least 30 minutes. Then, check on your progress.

It starts with that cool, creepy shot of Caroline through the keyhole of the attic and elevates the mood of creepiness with several jarring camera angles. She goes into the attic and finds the seeds, but hears a rattling sound.

This scene also has no music. It's all natural sound. When she investigates the sound, she finds a locked door blocked by a rack full of stuff. The sound is the doorknob hitting a metal can. Her key won't work and while she is looking at it, the door that leads into the attic slams shut. Caroline says she thought the key opened every door and Violet asks, "What key? Yeah, right. I thought this was just included because Kate Hudson is H-A-W-T, but the director says he wanted to show her vulnerability and also her youthfulness.

Caroline wakes in the middle of the night. It's raining and she hears a weird knocking sound. She checks on Ben and his bed is empty. She goes back to his room and sees water under the window, which is open. The knocking sound Caroline heard was his left foot dragging across the corrugated roof. Caroline tells him to wait there and he crawls faster, then loses his hold and rolls off.

Caroline hurries down to meet Violet outside. Violet cries out, "What did they make you do? She bundles it up and takes the wheelchair outside. When she lifts Ben to put him in it, he grabs her shoulders and looks beseechingly into her eyes. John Hurt played this role almost entirely without dialogue and did a really fantastic job.

She finds a boat pulled up at the edge of the swamp. She hears a voice and turns to find Luke, who can't believe what Ben managed to do. He lingers at the doorway and says he's a gentleman, but eventually comes in.

She shows him the sheet, but the message has disappeared. He asks about her father and she explains how she wanted to take care of him, but he was gone before she knew he was sick. She asks Luke if he thinks Ben could be asking for help.

The sexual tension between them grows. Luke assures her she is the only girl for him and she says, "Remove your perspirations. So who has a broken key? She goes into the room and sees all manner of strange things: a baboon's head, organs in jars, a straw doll with its eyes and mouth sewn shut, and pictures.

There are pictures of Justify and Cecile and the family. There is a book of spells. And there are old phonograph records. Caroline takes one that is called The Conjure of Sacrifice. Violet looks around for a moment, and then leaves.

Caroline realizes she has hidden behind a sheeted mirror. She pulls the sheets down to discover that this is where all the mirrors are. A close-up of an eye through a keyhole reveals that somebody is watching. Posted by Mystery Man at AM. Sorry to double post but Unlike many people I know, I loved this movie.
