This movie scared the shiiiiit out of me when I was seven. And also when I tried to re-watch it two months ago. I'd hate to think what would have happened to me if this one had gotten the release.

No, jelly doughnuts are very much a Hannukah thing. It has to do with the story: God's divine long-lasting oil burned in the temple for the Maccabees, therefore we now eat food friend in oil. I dunno. Tradition has lotsa calories.

Eh. I'm an Ashkenazi Jew, and my community/communities are all about the jelly doughnuts during Hannukah. So I guess that just further proves your point.
