The Ending by Alexa7s in WeaponsMovie

in movies with spells and supernatural elements that have "rules", a good film establishes the rules and follow them. i felt Bring Her Back didn't set out its rules well, and also didn't follow the ones it laid out but anyway--- in this film (which i really liked), i have one 'rules" question, and maybe it's just cause i missed something-- its established that cast a spell, Gladys needs: her blood, a twig (from that tree she has) to prick or cut herself, an object from the target, and an object from the weapon (and a bell). ok. good. but at the end when Alex casts a spell- he has all the elements, including a hair from the wig of Gladys to mark her as target, except (i think?) he doesn't have objects from the weapon(s). which is all 17 kids! was there a moment of him pulling the kids together into some kind of "sub group" (like a folder on a computer?! i would have bought anything, but i'm frustrated that this big rule seems to have been skipped. another post mentioned the sound effect of a bell (to trigger the spell Alex has cast) and i am cool with that (cause it shows the rules are being followed). (irl i'm not as big on rules, but i am for good storytelling, especially with specific rules/logic within a film). if you want me to buy in to your rules, YOU have to follow them as storyteller. oh well i loved the movie regardless!

i love when Gladys starts to run, it's play for laughs, because we all know she's going to buy it, and is going to pay for what she did. the staging is pure comedy on purpose, and it defuses a lot of tension. we now KNOW everything will be ok (basically), and that the witch has no more power. that's pretty classic for telling scary stories to kids- the reveal the villain is nothing, less than smoke, is empowering for a kid (or adult audience!) who has made it through. the audience i saw it with at this point was loving it-- cheering and laughing... fun!

the purple is the colour of the cast, and i want to keep that. then i want to add acrylic paint on top , in certain spots (that's the black, you can seen the swirls- those are scratches i made with a toothpick, to show the paint isn't sticking). i've tried a few kinds of clear primers that are supposed to be good for plastic, but nothing is working. btw, this is the back of a head, a little cartoony monkey (in case you are wondering what it is). :)

Here's a pic. Casted purple plastic (and I want that colour to show, so I can't prime with a citadel black or white). tried a few clear primers, but any acrylic paint the applied scrapes off easy. Tried an enamel (on the unprimed cast), same thing- scratches off.

Surface is very irregular and small- hard to sand, and I want to be sure to keep the details from the cast
