Della has been pulling this trick for days. She rolls a computer into a family's house, distracts them with it, and then kills and eats them all. She had already wiped out every other house on the Critter family's block before turning her attention to them.
This computer thing is all just part of Della's obsession with over-educating the children so one of them will be president one day. There's been a Critter in the US Senate for three generations now, but that's just not good enough anymore. She's tired of Barbra Bush lording it over her at Martha's Vineyard every summer. Foxworthy says it doesn't matter, but new money never understands.
On a completely inappropriate tangent: King and Straub's sequel (called "Black House") had an octogenarian child rapist and murderer who hid as an invalid in a Nursing Home.
Edarem has always reminded me of him, and for that reason I cannot watch any of his clips without getting chills.
KIDS, HERE ARE SOME MOTHERFUCKING COMPUTERS. THEY PREDICT THE WEATHER AND PUT YOU ON THE MOON AND SHIT. DON'T FUCKING TOUCH THEM, THEY'RE NOT FUCKING TOYS!
