The character of Zelda Rubinstein talks to JoBeth Williams's character (the mother). I can't recall right now if there is a lot of conversation, but Tangina gives instructions about rescuing Carrie Anne, and the mother says it all with her face. I also recall a moment when the both of them are arguing about who usually punishes the children.
