Still #19: Breaking the Fourth Wall. Woman breaks the Fourth Wall by looking the viewer full in the face. She does not seem happy with us for spying on her. A very nice, effective "scare tactic," in that it usually causes the viewer to feel as if they are really being seen through their television. This effect is enhanced by the overall creepiness of the entire tape.

Still #20: Maggots. A pile of writhing maggots, which morphs into a group of writhing human bodies (see next still).

Still #21: Human bodies. The maggots turn into a pile of writhing human bodies. Could be symbolic of how the tape's maker feels about people, that we come from maggots?

Still #22: Box. A very nice shot of a wooden box with its top off. We cannot currently see what is inside the box.

Still #23: Centipede. The chair next to the table moves, and a gigantic centipede crawls out from under it. Most likely this was a miniature set with a normal-sized centipede, or a special effect.

Still #24: Straight razor. We now see what is inside the wooden box. It is a black-handled straight razor.
