I'm Actually Not Sure Evermore Is In The Cult, Mainly With Them Establishing His Gun Control Thing While

I'm actually not sure Evermore is in the cult, mainly with them establishing his gun control thing while the episode makes a point of Ignacio having a gun.

I think Evermore is just a pretentious idiot and that the cult (possibly through Garcia) is basically running the town for him.

Wait

Did Father Gregor die?

I thought he was just being indoctrinated

We honestly don't know atm, it's pretty heavily implied he was sacrificed? But we don't see him die, and considering the last time we didn't see a character die he turned out to be alive (Streber), there's always a chance.

I hope he's not dead lol

I'm currently losing my mind over Hollow Sorrows with @crossover-enthusiast, but rest assured, when I'm capable of properly functioning, I will share ALL the important thoughts I have on the episode as of now.

Also, it's pretty weird to see that while I was wrong about there being a second demon, I was right on many finer points of the episode and it even supports some of my personal HCs

Loved this moment

"No, no, you can't run, you might hurt yourselves. Walk normally."

"Not THAT normally!"

The Tree Banshee theory

This is a theory predicting the role of Spooky Month's most enigmatic monster, one many fans might not even know about yet, so sit back and enjoy!

Watching HS for a second time, Gregor's pose here stuck out to me, so I went back to check my hunch...

Yep, he's in the same pose as the figure on the left wing of the gate. But what about the tree like figure on the right wing?

Well, for that, we turn to the movie theatre, many fans know about the demon priest poster that foreshadowed HS back in TT, well we see a very interesting poster for a second in episode 6

"The Forest Sight", huh?

Now for the clencher, we turn to an image from the arg

The same eye patterns, and a ghoulish being I've come to call the Tree Banshee, you might remember it for it's scream in TT or for an illustration of it in the book from the TT arg.

I believe this entity also somehow benefits from sacrifices made to Eyes and that it will be a/the major monster of a future episode, which lines up well with my idea of Roy's episode being about him chasing Skid and Pump into the woods, where they get lost.

The point is that Bob and Roy's uncle have "X"s next to their photos, Mr. Clown has a "?"

The point being that the in-universe authorities have no conclusive evidence he's dead, just like us.

The clown isn't dead

Check the eyes of the Dexter Fella... they move, he's still trapped in there.

Wait ayo?
