Nobody knows why, but Chad chose Demonoid (1981) for this episode — a movie featuring multiple, crawling, severed hands as the Left Hand of the Devil moves from person to person via their left hands, whether attached or not. Filmed primarily in Mexico, Demonoid is directed by Alfredo Zacarías and stars Samantha Eggar, Stuart Whitman, and Roy Jenson. The severed hands defy the laws of physics (I know, I know) as they leap through the air and throw people to the ground — actions depicted with quick edits. Of course, the Left Hand of the Devil must have supernatural power
