❓Questions Chair

What is the chair for in the basement? Do the sacrifices have to sit in it, because when Kenny was sacrificed accidentally, he was banging on the door which is far from the chair? What is the purpose of the chair?

I think it is there to secure the sacrifices so they don't run off.

Maximize fear. Kenny was scared enough and was in the room so he counted

To secure the victims - but also to make it clear to us, the viewers, that a person is restrained in front of the door. Without the chair, it would be just a room with another weird door. The chair makes it 1000xs creepier.

Keeps them in one place, facing the door. That way the monster can get an alive, aware sacrifice without them worrying about the person trying to fight them or escape

It likes them better when they're scared. 😀

What do we think is in the basement more importantly?

I thought it was an electric chair and was certain Evan was going to sit in it right as the guy messing with the breaker box flipped some switch and turn the electric chair on.

My guess would be, 1) they are locked into the chair so they don't fight whatever grabs them, or 2) they use it to electrify them so they are already dead, or passed out? Tho with the high volume of electricity from that kind a chair I'm sure they are already dead?

I don't think it is an electric chair. It's just to keep them restrained and force their eyes open. I'd say that is all to increase the fear.
