The shack door opened and Laurie walked out, wearing Michael""s mask.As she pulled the mask off, the scene transitioned (as in the Director""s Cut) to Laurie sitting in isolation in a psychiatric ward, grinning at a vision of Deborah dressed in white who stood with a white horse at the end of her room.After showering and then standing in front of a foggy mirror, Tim""s hroat was slit with a butcher knife(# 7 death), and Beth was stabbed multiple times in the back(# 8 death), as the horrified Kara (who had vainly tried to warn her by phone) watched from across he street as Michael committed the murder.It was Columbia Pictures"" biggest grossing film up to that time, and helped to usher in the era of the blockbuster sci-fi/fantasy film..I should have liked to have lived here then - color, excitement,power,freedom.Scottie notices old maps and woodcuts from the wild days of San Francisco.Elster, who knows about Scottie""s accident, retirement, and subsequent weakened psychological state from newspaper reports [and using it to his full advantage] explains how he was sorry to read about Scottie""s harrowing incident on a rooftop and his newly-discovered vertigo.
