There were a few sleepless nights, me reading with a flashlight under my covers, wondering if I could call out of work or if I should try to get a few hours of sleep.  Unfortunately, paycheck and sleep had to win out.

I am usually disappointed by sequels and the middle slumps in trilogies.  Not this one, though.  Whereas Chainsaw is a slow-burn, this one is a wildfire.  The kills and gore and cupcakes and hair!!!  With my thoughts swirling around and my heart racing, I am unsure how I managed to get enough sleep to function.

My only complaint…not a complaint at all, more like an observation…It needs more cowbell.
