You're certainly welcome! Here are some things I didn't have time to add last night.

1. I find stories in which the villain references multiple things (stories, movies, songs, days of the week, deadly sins, etc.) more interesting than stories in which someone is just a slasher, shooter, etc. As usual, I love the breaking of the fourth wall and the in-jokes.

2. I hope they get this monster.

3. I loved the allusion to "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse

4. R.I.P. Delia Bonner

Earlier today I thought about how the evil is getting closer to our heroes, and I realized A) that theme is always a scary one and 2) it's happened in real life. Last summer or fall, when reports about the Ebola epidermic started coming in, people were worried. When those doctors were brought to Atlanta for treatment, people became more fearful. When that poor fellow died in Texas, people started panicking. You've chosen an effective storytelling element.
