I Live To Love Them.

I live to love them. <3

And a stupid one

I seldom witness such genius. You should be VERY proud of yourself.

The immeasurable disappointment that there's not an app called HONKR for clown hook-ups.

Imagine: the clowns join, but all of them just keep matching with this scraggly, wet raccoon of a person named Cesare. It's incredibly rude to judge a clown by their cover, but this one doesn't look like they'd be very good at balloon animal jousting. The clowns agree to the dates anyway.

STOP! Hammer time.

The gradual killing makes a lot of sense, I always just thought Patty was talking about deaths that already happened that Halloween but your idea is way better. As for where he's been staying I think that, after his house the first place John would (try to look) would be the hill house, so either Evermore made sure that didn't happen or maybe Bob was hiding out with some other cultist(s) being their freaky roommate. (I'm not making an AU, YOU'RE making an AU! SHUT UP!)

There's a pretty major question about Tender Treats I haven't seen mentioned at all, but first, some context.

At the end of Deadly Smiles we see a news flash saying that Bob escaped from custody and in Tender Treats we see that the issue of "The Everything" that reported on his escape is dated January 9th, putting Deadly Smiles on the night of January 8th.

However in the literal first scene of Tender Treats with Bob entering his house for what's implied to be the first time since his escape. The problem is said scene takes place on Halloween with Bob preparing for his annual killing spree, which prompts the question: If he hadn't gone to his house until October 31st, just where the hell was he and what the hell was he doing?

I have mini-theory to add here. In the first episode we see "Itsy" looming over Skidad's bones. I think it saw him transfer his soul into the mannequin, saw his original body go limp and thought "Well, not like he needs that anymore" and ate it. I thing the wrapped up body-looking thing is Moloch's original body and the same thing happened to it when he possessed Dexter.

Putting this one in a separate post bc I want to (warning for mildly realistic but still cartoony spiders)

Anyways! @prof-ramses posited a v interesting theory that the giant spider isn't going to be an antagonist per-say, but rather its babies

And that got me thinking, and realizing, that there are a lot of spiders in Lila's house, from the very beginning

There are two little ones in the first ep, one in the stairwell and one in the mousehole next to the stairs, in addition to the large one we've grown accustomed to

(^ brightened for visibility)

Pelo even points out the stairwell spider in his (free to view) Patreon posts on the first episode, while simultaneously completely ignoring the giant spider

And then in Unwanted Guest there's a surprisingly large spider skittering between the floorboards in the pan up to the attic

Along with a smaller but still decently big spider chilling in the attic itself

And a tiny spider got itself stuck on Dexter's mouse trap

Also semi-related there's this big thing wrapped up in one of the webs. I have no idea what it is

Moloch says he was forced to eat rats and spiders while trapped in the attic -- interestingly, we haven't seen any rats in Lila's house, at least as far as I'm aware. Maybe the spiders take care of them as well?

There aren't any new spiders in Deadly Smiles to my knowledge, just a new shot of the big one

There are no spiders at all in The Stars or Tender Treats, presumably because of the short attic time in both (the giant spider was drawn in the TT attic scene, but the camera doesn't pan far enough to show it)

Spiders even briefly appear in the Tender Treats ARG! There are three decently-sized ones next to the family photo

I had to circle them because they're REALLY well hidden, even after brightening the image

Yeah, there are... a LOT more spiders crawling around this house than I was aware of, likely even more since Moloch is no longer there to do pest control

Spooky Month 6 prediction: All That's Sweet Is Not Sugar

The episode will open with a seemingly normal night with the spookeez going to the candy club and Kevin getting annoyed as usual. However as he's about to usher them out they notice that a few people on the street are acting a little funny.

A similar situation happens with John, Jack and Rick at Gonuts, presumably with Rick quitting his latest job at some point.

The two groups try to navigate the situation as the "sugared up" townsfolk grow more dangerous along with shorter scenes of other characters dealing with the "outbreak".

One of the starring characters eventually ends up ingesting something sugar-laced and this results in a dedicated horror scene

The Candy Dealer is revealed to be responsible for the sugar-spiking relatively early into the episode, but it isn't until the last act that we see his real face or discover the true nature of the sugar (possibly an experimental chemical being tested by the dealer who's really a mad scientist).

The thugs who held Kevin at gunpoint in Unwanted Guest will act as the Candy Dealer's enforcers/bodyguards.

In the end the Dealer's own victims swarm him in a blind rage (Adding angst potential if Robert or John end up being involved in his death, that is, if he is related to them).

Personally, I don't think the Candy Dealer is directly working with the cult, but like the manufacturers of the happy fella dolls, is being accounted for by them in their plans (calling back to the OST cover that shows the cultists as the chess masters of all the other characters).

To be frank, I don't think we have enough information to speculate on the secret ending.

That's all I've got ,if you read this far you deserve to see this beautiful image I have dubbed "The Candy Derper", that I accidentally caught while trying to get the image at the top of the post.

Yeah, my thoughts kind of trailed of towards the end, but the main point was that it seems that the Candy Dealer's beef with the candy club goes back a long time.

I'm thinking about the Candy Dealer and "the sugar is a lie" graffiti behind the candy club. Who left that there? One idea I had was that it was a warning from a former employee for future workers and that CD's been trying to sabotage the store for Eyes knows how long. Another thought was that the dealer himself is a bitter former employee of the candy club, maybe not even the one Kevin works at, just the brand in general. After all his goons are Mexican and so is the candy club as a company.

I mean it's supposed to be a Portal reference but it could be something like that aswell
