Stan recognizes them from other stakeouts and says their always connected to a crime wave that follows them. While looking for their suspect, they get distracted by two men sword-fighting in 1960’s esque space alien costumes.
It’s almost as if he was trying to carry out some kind of “sacrificial” or ritualistic kill for some whacked-out purpose we weren’t totally privy to.This episode opens with Trudy and Stan Switek a stakeout in the outdoor area of a shopping center. I think his objective was to ultimately kill.but the house, situation, environment, etc.had to be perfect, or he bailed before actually carrying out the kill. With each house he kept moving closer to the bedroom of the owner, too.but until the very last one, he left before actually attacking or killing. The raw meat & flour ritual obviously meant something to him or served some bizarre purpose for him, as he kept doing it in each wasn’t a random one-time thing.Īlso there was something about each house that drew him to it.that “spoke” to him somehow. One of my all-time favorite episodes too! It’s also based on a true story, which makes it even freakier! As for motives for “Shadow Man” (I’ve always jokingly called him “Fish Mouth” ).I actually think there was one, but only in his scrambled up, psychotic mind-not one we’d necessarily understand. Gilmore was a nut, glad Crockett didn't go fully crazy like him. I still need to get around to watching Mann's Manhunter as I've heard this one is clearly inspired by it.
I love anything to do with psychological and mental horror. I go crazy myself trying to understand the Shadow's motives. Every episode of Season 3 from Stone's War and forward at the moment has been truly solid.
