wasn't a 300 year old vengeful witch and a curse, but rather Sheriff Barney Fife. The icing on that **** cake was the Sheriff, armed with a gun, the legal authority of his county and the state, and the power to trade lives for favors from the devil, walking into a transparent trap and not being able to kill two unarmed children, a pothead, and a recluse. He didn't even need to get his hands dirty. All 4 had stolen a police car, broken into a mall, committed a lot of vandalism, had a minor restrained against her will, and were in possession of a decomposing hand. Three of them were even directly connected to two different massacres. Sheriff could have called in backup and let the justice system deal with the 4. No one would have believed their ravings about witches, curses, and deals with the devil.
And I still can't believe that the sheriff and his brother's greatest ambitions were to be sheriff and mayor of a little town.
