This has some similarities of the West Memphis 3 who were charged with killing and sodomizing 3 young boys back in the late 80’s.


I noticed this as well. I wonder if it’s loosely based on that?

Maybe spoilers below





Tons of similarities.. two kids missing, three outcasts, small town in Arkansas, satanic aspect

I was thinking the same thing during episode two.

Especially the black sabbath t-shirts. The west memphis 3 were basically convicted off of their Metallica t shirts.

My wife thinks the wife is involved. Good guess but I actually think that would be a little too obvious at this point.
