...for your voodoo episode last week on USA. Monk is one of my favorite shows on right now, and I'm deeply saddened to see it end in December.
But Monk's dealings with voodoo in last week's episode "Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse" cemented my love for the show's witty dialogue, quirky humor, and love of mystery wrap-ups. In this creepy ep, Monk deals with a series of murders that all involved the victims receiving pre-posted packages containing voodoo dolls. Natalie has a paranoia of them, so Monk has to get the Reverend Jorgensen to do an anti-curse spell on her.
The episode plays off of witches, hoodoo, and curses with great humor and a knowledge of superstition, and even features a surprising shot of the Reverend walking up to Monk's house reminiscent of a certain scene in The Exorcist.
Thanks for the allusion, Monk, and for appreciating the horror genre in general, which has very distinct parallels to the mystery genre.
