Am I the only one who thinks that CreepyChild entry is a \\\'\\\'tad\\\'\\\' inaccurate? Yeah, the book does hint that the girl liked to play \\\"always Hallways\\\" (but [[BeamMeUpScotty not in that]] \\\'\\\'[[BeamMeUpScotty exact]]\\\'\\\' [[BeamMeUpScotty phrasing]], unless I missed it [[hottip:*:I know that it makes a point to illustrate how the game that she wants to play is \\\"always\\\", which rhymes with \\\"hallways\\\", but she herself never says [[BeamMeUpScotty \\\"I wanna play Always Hallways\\\"]]]]), but that was \\\'\\\'before\\\'\\\' the house got really creepy and the hallway was still a novelty. And also, the pictures? Most [[CreepyChild Creepy Children]] draw pics like that due to some [[NightmareFetishist primeval fascination]] with [[BuffySpeak the creepy]], but, at this point, the kids drew the pictures because they were \\\'\\\'traumatized\\\'\\\' by the [[color:blue:house]], not finding it fun anymore.

Anyone else think that this entry is a totally valid reading? Or should I throw it onto YMMV under AlternateCharacterInterpretation?
