Reggie
[narrating] Mike tells me that it might take us years to find The Tall Man, and if we do, we'll probably die. Well, maybe. But not without a fight.
[narrating] There's no use trying to tell anybody. They'd lock us up and throw away the key. We'd spent a long time on the road. Northwest mostly. It wasn't hard to pick up his trail. The places he'd been always looked the same.
[driving into a town destroyed by The Tall Man] Small towns are like people. Some get old and die a natural death. Some are murdered.
[Reggie revs up his chainsaw, about to take on one of the Tall Man's henchmen] Come on, you mutha!
Dialogue
Mike: I want to stop him.
Reggie: The Tall Man? That story about me blowing up my own house because it was infested with midgets. Mike, that wasn't real. Your doctor said that it was your own paranoid delusions caused by your brother's death.
Mike: One minute... we're gonna wake up. This is only a dream.
Liz: That's right... it's only a dream!
The Tall Man: No! It's not!

About
I know this might sound just lame, but one day it came to me. The kid got yanked into the mirror, but he had left Reggie downstairs. What was going on downstairs? Reggie hears this crash and he could run upstairs and take it from there. So it was that simple breakthrough that made me realize I could write a whole story now. Then also, there was an idea to go into a new direction. Rather than be contained in the one claustrophobic town, it would then become almost a road movie. A few years later Reggie would team up with the Mike who was older and they would go on an adventure to track down and kill the Tall Man once and for all. So, once I had that in mind, it was a pretty straight shot to make that sequel movie.
