As per the Surreal Horror style, the entire film comes off like a horrific LSD trip, only with perhaps more severed body parts. Trying to figure out a workable context for what the viewer's eyes will see just causes their brain to throw back an error message, so the movie achieves its scares simply by making no sense whatsoever.
Fantasy goes to check the well when Mac goes missing, and pulls up the watermelon she thinks Mac was going to fetch, only to pull up Mac's head, which flies up and bites her on the butt. The other girls come to investigate and the head is just a watermelon...but when everyone eats it at dinner, Auntie shows an eyeball in her mouth and winks to Fantasy, implying that the watermelon really is Mac's head and the rest are all eating it unawares.
At one point, Auntie crawls backward into the fridge and closes the door behind her in a bizarre and confusing manner, and while the girls are alarmed and concerned, Auntie reappears on the rafters in front of the camera to give the audience an Aside Glance.
After Sweet is attacked by mattresses, she reappears lifeless in a giant clock, which appears to slowly grind her between the gears as blood floods the interior of the case and Sweet's body disappears. It's a surprisingly low-key and quiet horror scene for the film, and pretty haunting as a result.
Melody gets stuck to the piano and it eats her fingers, then her hand, then pulls her in with the strings and wires being entangled with her as she laughs and screams. Eventually, all that's left are her disembodied fingers hovering above the piano and picking out the tune before the lid slams on them too.
Toward the end of the film, the portrait of the cat gets a horrible evil scowl, which then widens further to the page image. Once it's attacked, the painting begins spewing blood that floods the entire house and eventually dissolves Prof.
How about the fact that all of this, all of these batshit insane ideas, were spawned from the mind of the director's ten-year-old daughter.
