As each episode of Channel Zero airs, we’ll ask Antosca the burning questions posed by the current installment and get a glimpse into the process used to create this wholly unique horror experience. Check back each week for further insights! Den of Geek: The interrogation of Mike was chilling! But since everyone knows that Katie tried to kill Dane, wouldn’t that be proof that Mike isn’t responsible? Nick: Not necessarily. Remember, in the pilot, they suspected Mike was involved with Katie’s disappearance and learned he just got out of a psych ward. Then he fled, and when he showed up again he had “found” Katie in a place where no one else would think to look, seemingly by coincidence — which looked a little suspicious. Then she tried to kill Dane with a hook. So a reasonable person might wonder if he influenced her to do that. It’s his job to manipulate children’s minds, after all. Yes. Tune in next week. Were the emails and texts between Mike and Jess just fuel on the fire of Gary’s going overboard, or is there more to their relationship to be suspicious about? Do we know the identity of any of the other kids that have joined Katie as viewers of Candle Cove? They’re all local kids. One of them, Alex Fry, is the kid whose baby teeth were stolen from his mom’s house in episode two. Daphne and Tim have been taken out supposedly for messing with Mike Painter. Isn’t that just going to make him look more suspicious even though we know the truth about who’s responsible? If anything it underlines the idea that Mike is somehow connected to this even if he didn’t kill them with his own hands. Remember, Mike’s recovering from a gunshot wound and he’s just left the hospital when they get dispatched. As for Tim and Daphne, do you think their bodies will ever be found? What the heck was Tim doing in the woods in the first place? The Toothchild has been seen seeking out Mike’s fingers but also showed up in Marla’s dreams, but he doesn’t seem to be connected to Candle Cove. Is he a separate but related being? He’s not a puppet if that’s what you mean. He is connected to Candle Cove, though. We’ll learn early in the next episode what the mushrooms mean. They are not from the Tooth Child, but they will be indirectly connected to a murder.
