New SPN teaser for 12.18 by Shaving People
For episode 12.18 The Memory Remains
Bill's House
Wow. If I could only have one wish granted for this show, it'd be that it was this creepy all the time. I think I could even let a lot of the writing issues go if it were a genuinely creepy kind of horror.
shareThe next episode seems really creepy from what I've seen so far. The vibe reminds me of "Family Remains".
shareI hope so! Wait. You didn't like Family Remains, right?
shareI didn't but not because of the cinematography. I love the dark, eerie and terrifying vibe Supernatural used to have.
I didn't like FR because I didn't like the family and therefore wasn't invested in them in the slighest, and I didn't like the MOTW. That's like 85% of the episode lol.
*SPOILERS AND SPECULATION*
I've been thinking about it. What if this one is more like Family Remains than we're thinking it's going to be? The Memory Remains is a Metallica song about a celebrity who goes mad after fading into obscurity. On Dabb's weekly tweet with a hint, he quoted the song Maniac from Flashdance:
"On the ice blue line of insanity
Is a place most never see
It's a hard won place of mystery..."
It's referencing insanity again, and the guys who wrote Maniac were inspired by the slasher flick Maniac, which is about a serial killer in New York. They then had to change the song to make it fit the soundtrack for Flashdance. It may not mean anything, but I think that's fairly well known, and it's just curious Dabb would choose that line out of the entire song to quote. Maybe he's referencing Ketch with that. Maybe Ketch is hunting other hunters or the Winchesters while they're hunting, but if there's also some kind of juxtaposition with Black Bill the Goat God being a person who has gone mad (and wears a goat head from a costume) and what do you do with human monsters, it could be interesting. I know it's been done on this show in the past, but considering the boys are going to have to go up against human monsters again if they're going to deal with the BMoL, maybe it needs to be revisited given where they are in life now.
"but if there's also some kind of juxtaposition with Black Bill the Goat God being a person who has gone mad (and wears a goat head from a costume) and what do you do with human monsters, it could be interesting."
I agree. My first theory, although it might be way off, was that the Goat God was actually a man.
