Evan ends up watching parts of Halloween while at a friends house and he barely gets anything from it other than he is now terrified of Michael Myers. Upon learning that, Michael somehow convinces Evan that he is Michael Myers and Evan nearly cries every time Michael threatens to get the ‘Myers’ mask out.
I love the idea that the youngest Afton just fully and completely kicks it in 83’ so much. I cannot fully explain it. Like it makes more sense to me (he died before Charlie did and Charlie aided in the possession of the robots) (also he dies in the hospital, away from any and all of the animatronics) but I’m also in love with it thematically.
Like the motive Bill gives himself for continuing to take lives is so he can try and bring his kid back but that is, ultimately, impossible. Even if he were to fully understand remnant and how possession works that ship has SAILED. That toddler is in the great beyond, bucko. All the awful things you do are for nothing and all the reasons you give yourself for it are futile and self-serving.
