The Third Movie

  • The boyfriend in this film, Dennis, is far more likeable than Micah or Dan were from the last 2 films. Besides being nice to Julie, he really does care about Katie and Kristi despite not being their biological father. He takes time out of his day to play with them and at the end, he tries to save them both from their evil grandmother. Despite the fact he failed with his life, you gotta admire his heart for trying. What a guy.
  • In a film like this, it's somewhat strange to have one, but still: During one of the scenes where Kristi is clearly having a late-night chat with the demon, one of her 'responses' is "No, he's really sweet.". Think about it: Kristi was defending her father from a demonic entity. The demon, amazingly, is part of this. Dennis is only attacked at the end of the film, probably at the order/behest of the Coven. Other than that, the demon kept its word to Kristi.
  • After stepping up and refusing to do what Toby asks her to (presumably the marriage ceremony), explaining she no longer wants to talk to him, she changes her mind and agrees when Toby locks Katie in the cupboard. Kristi agrees to go ahead with it, if he'll let Katie go. For a young child, that's a pretty brave move.
  • Randy's interactions with Katie and Kristi. Especially his interaction with Katie after playing Bloody Mary with her in the bathroom with Katie tearfully apologizing and Randy tearfully comforting her while promising her not to tell her parents what happened. You can sense that he's pretty much a friend to the family and an honorary uncle to the kids.

The Fourth Movie

  • There's a subtle one early on in the movie, at Wyatt's soccer game. Their dad shows up late, and he and their mom almost immediately start to argue. Alex gently leads Wyatt away, and starts teaching him how to do a cartwheel. It's very clear she's trying to keep him from watching their parents fight, and that this has probably happened plenty of times in the past.
