Horror's Greatest Hits
LNZ asked this question about The Midnight Feast:
I didn’t understand why the twins would be locked in the wine cellar and have died. The storytelling timeline tricks the reader into thinking it was Owen and his lover but I don’t understand how or why the twins would have been locked inside? Seems like a large hole in the story.

And I assume locked the…moreMichelle/Shelly took them to the cellar bc they were complaining about the cider so she was able to easily lure them that way. And I assume locked them there, I wish there was more detail on this part tho bc it also confused me as well. I think most likely she locked them there for a scare, the same way she was "locked" in the treehouse as a teenager and maybe the birds would approach them later in the night and give them the same ultimatum they gave Frankie. It was Nathan Tate and Frankie who ultimately started the fire, so I feel like the twins burning to death was not part of Michelle/Shelly plan, but I am sure she was fine with the outcome.

Let me know yalls thoughts. Who knows maybe she did predict the fire. I wish we got to hear more about her perspective of this particular scene. (less)
