The Skeleton Key -- some good advice revisited
Well, I just caught up with "The Skeleton Key" and, apart from a "twist" that was not only completely predictable but also ripped off from a famous H.P. Lovecraft story (among others along the same lines), it brought to mind some earlier advice that I posted.
If, by chance, it ever comes about that you're being chased by some extremely powerful (in this case) evil witch-y type woman intent upon stealing your life force for some diabolical purpose, and you manage, by some stroke of good fortune, to render her temporarily, but very briefly unconscious do not turn around and run away, unarmed and helpless, allowing said evil witch-y type woman to rouse herself thirty seconds later, and resume chasing you.
KILL THE ***!!!
Once again, thank you.

Was the evil witch-y type woman observing no-bra day? Maybe that would explain a few things.

Which HPL story would that be? "The Thing on the Doorstep" "Dreams in the Witch House", maybe?
