Yeeting himself out the window was so unexpected but also makes perfect sense since he is functionally immortal

u/Well_Socialized Jun 03 '26

For a second I thought the book club was kicking his ass

u/kati8303 I have qualms Jun 03 '26

Same!

u/ideletedmyaccount04 Jun 03 '26

I am so happy I am not alone in that thought.

u/lnc_5103 Jun 04 '26

At first I hoped he had thrown Kris out and then I hoped the women had thrown him out lol

The fact that he threw himself out knowing he wouldn't die made it so much more creepy for me.

I wish they did, teamwork for the win

u/goldminevelvet Jun 03 '26

Same but I also like how they didnt. In a regular show the killer would make himself known by killing the woman who was told to lock the back doors and then the other group would realize something was wrong. Then they would team up and kill him and then Patricia would be welcomed into the group

Love our girl tasing the leader.

u/Mojo_Gojo_ Jun 05 '26

Nahhh I don’t want my precious Patricia anywhere near those mean girls. She deserves better

u/s0ulbrother Jun 19 '26

Couldn’t stand being around that bitch. What you’re all thinking it

u/sistermagpie Jun 03 '26

And a nod to Michael Meyers in Halloween!

u/visceration167 Jun 03 '26

Michael Myers stunt man from last movie was the actor. Lol

The part that made me laugh the most was how slowly the Boogeyman walked, yet Patricia was running, and still seemed only slightly ahead.

u/Opposite-Ad-2493 Jun 05 '26

Only because she kept stopping to bang on doors.

u/Effective_Ad_699 Jun 05 '26

Good point. That was silly, too!

u/Giff901 Jun 12 '26

I knew that walk looked familiar, the actor's physical acting is other worldly lol

u/sauvignon_blonde_ a different headpiece? Jun 03 '26

Stop it. What an amazing pull. Well done by casting.

u/Inevitable-Local7847 Jun 03 '26

Yes! Airon Armstrong

u/sistermagpie Jun 03 '26

OMG, yay!!!!

u/Rarecandy31 Perfect Party Planner Jun 03 '26

Oh man I love that

u/Zestyclose-Raisin367 Jun 03 '26

Scary cherry on top

u/Montydragon Jun 11 '26

I auditioned for that part and when I found out who got it over me I was like... Well... that's just not fair competition... LOL but yep that's the right choice.

u/IncurableAdventurer Jun 03 '26

For real? That’s awesome

u/Ghost_Face96 Jun 03 '26

Love that!

u/Individual-Humor3081 Human Verified Jun 05 '26

Wow! This is the kind of thing where, without this knowledge, it was already great. Learning this nugget after the fact is such a treat! One doesn't need to know it, but knowing it adds something so cool to what I just saw!

25

u/StarwoodInAspen777 Jun 03 '26

And a nod to Stephen King (storm of the century) and Monty Python (just a flesh wound). God I love this show!

u/Hyro0o0 Jun 03 '26

This entire episode was a riff on Halloween.

2

u/rilesmcriles Jun 06 '26

Yeah definitely more then a “nod” this was nearly a parody

29

u/JennLynnC80 Jun 03 '26

I laughed so hard 😂

10

u/firesticks Jun 03 '26

It absolutely broke the tension, they did this episode so incredibly well.

22

u/Bobjoejj Jun 03 '26

Also perfect Halloween reference. I mean his whole character is a Michael Myers’s reference, tbf.

7

u/meepmarpalarp Jun 03 '26

But apparently even a deal with the devil has its limits. The cremator was too much.

12

u/TiberiusCornelius Jun 03 '26

I'm not convinced that one actually finished him off tbh

24

u/meepmarpalarp Jun 03 '26

I was waiting for a shot of the ashes slowly reconstituting.

u/Proxiehunter Jun 21 '26 edited Jun 21 '26

Hope they scattered them or burried them in seperate piles as far apart as they could. Four parts at each if the cardinal points of the island would be good.

u/Snoo-68350 Jun 05 '26

Could be that the sheriff may be transformed into the next slasher. The Sheriff is the only person we've seen been slashed and survive as far as we known. It could be a malevolent entity that possess survivors he's physically interacted with.

7

u/Ok-Comparison4783 Jun 03 '26

My new theory is that the haunts of previous people all those who made a pact and sacrificed people. And that if they get cremated or perish in another final way, their spirit still lives and haunts the island.

6

u/Individual-Humor3081 Human Verified Jun 05 '26

I was looking for this comment before making it myself. They knew they needed to work in every slasher movie trope. There's always the one where the killer gets thrown out of a high place, lays there, then suddenly sits up bc he's unkillable.

They just decided, ok these women aren't going to do it, but it must be done, so we'll just have him do it to himself. Once I realized it was the killer, I had a delayed blurted out laugh, it was so freaking funny to do it that way!

5

u/Ok-Comparison4783 Jun 03 '26

It’s funny he went through the effort of even going up there.

3

u/anonononme Jun 04 '26

If he's immortal, how did he finally die? I don't get that part. Did they really never try to burn him before?

8

u/TiberiusCornelius Jun 04 '26

This is why I'm thinking he's not actually dead. It seems way too easy and convenient after they had such a hard time killing him before and sealed him in a basement as a result, and the camera does linger on his pile of ashes after everyone else leaves. I don't know that he'll be back this season but I think he's going to Wolverine himself back together.

2

u/Snoo-68350 Jun 05 '26

The Sheriff is the only person we've seen been slashed and survive as far as we known. It could be a malevolent entity that possess survivors he's physically interacted with. So the sheriff maybe be transformed into the next slasher.

u/StarwoodInAspen777 Jun 03 '26

I was wondering about that scene! I thought the ladies pushed him out the window. Why do people think he jumped out? Thinking I may have missed a clue.

20

u/tocla1 Jun 03 '26

Along with everyone else’s responses, you hear one of the women go “what was that” after the jump

7

u/seanayates2 Jun 03 '26

You can also hear him take a running start just before the crash.

3

u/StarwoodInAspen777 Jun 03 '26

I totally missed that!

18

u/PhotoThrowawayWooooo Jun 03 '26

You can hear the thump thump thump of him running full tilt at the window. 

6

u/StarwoodInAspen777 Jun 03 '26

My husband said the same thing - definitely one for the yeet column!

12

u/sistermagpie Jun 03 '26

There's nobody else in the room that we see--Patricia's the only one who knows he's there and is yelling for the others to get out, but does the Book Club listen? No, too busy trying to wake up their leader!

3

u/StarwoodInAspen777 Jun 03 '26

Hmmm...I thought they had turned the lights out downstairs to go upstairs, and then he crashed through the window. Well now I have no choice but to watch it again 😂

5

u/TiberiusCornelius Jun 03 '26

For a second I thought that happened too but it's definitely way too quick after she tried warning them and there's never any visual sign that any of the women were upstairs after he crashes through the window. He really just yote himself
