Plot SynopsisUnder the opening company logo and titles, the film opened in wartime Los Angeles.The disorienting opening shot was of a blinding ceiling light and sounds of accusatory voices in a dark shadowy room, and then soon after, a pull-back camera movement revealed the side of the face of tough yet vulnerable, blindfolded gumshoe detective Philip Marlowe (played by 30s musical crooner Powell in a dramatic role switch).When Christopher Pike first gave me his ship, he had me recite the Captain""s Oath, words I didn""t appreciate at the time."Maria prays by her bedside, blessing the Captain and he children:Dear Father,nowI know why you""ve sent me here.Kitty quipped sarcastically: "Wow.That""s really something, Lex.It""s freakingGone with the Wind." Suddenly, the lights went out, and the pool glowed and bubbled.One side-effect was a massive blackout that occurred on the East Coast - during Luthor""s experimental test (in miniature) to grow land in the ocean off the coastline." Resting on the bed was Laurie Strode""s Raggedy-Ann doll, with two nails impaled into its eyes.The college students at the party relished the abrupt appearance of Myers as he stalked Donna, believing it was all theatrics.
