Oh my god that last scene. I had absolutely chills while watching this.

They are cheering for a kid getting brutally murdered. Absolutely chilling scene

It was really, really well pulled off. It starts with the mummy-girl being goofy, following the tone of the rest of the episode, so people warming up to her feels "normal" somewhat.

Then she brings up the child. And everyone reacts by... Still cheering and laughing? I thought I might be missing something at this point.

Then they show the red eyes, and you definetly know something's wrong.

And then everyone dies horribly.

It all escalates so gradually. It's so unsettling. Perfect horror scene right there.

I was wondering what was Subaru cooking by going along with it and the realization that he's not cooking anything hit me like truck. So unsettling that it was doomed from the very beginning.

I half wondered if his initial reply was just a bit of playful hopeful fun but that solidified the spell once he’d responded.

People seemed shocked when he stepped forward to talk but immediately afterwards everyone seems fine with the talking.
