For how the show begins we don't spend nearly enough time at night dealing with monster shenanigans.

This is 100% Lost where they had like the makings of a mystery but never did they have the answer to that mystery until literally forced by producing more and more seasons demanding some sense of it all. It sucks because there's shows like Raised By Wolves where you could 100% see it went from "I dunno" story to "Oh, we know now" in just its second season, but got cancelled as soon as everything started to make sense.

I pretty much assumed this shit wouldn't ever make total sense, but that's also kind of why you watch. Just to see what stupid twist they add one after another. It's like the Sci-Fi/Horror Suspense version of a soap opera. Which idiot is going to listen to demonic voices? Who's going to switch from "We can do this! to "We can't do this!" this week? Who's falling down the stairs and/or impregnated their adopted Aunt?!?! It's just kind of trash, but it's watchable trash. I hope they just never expected Emmy nominations or anything for this, because it very much is in the okay+ junk TV category.

Covers all the bases.

The runtime on this episode was quite a bit larger and it baited me in to thinking a lot of stuff was going to happen. I gotta stop watching the trailers for these episodes. They're giving away the little that does happen.

edit - it's never monster nighttime and I don't know why

I didn't even think about it, but can the ghoulies swim? Could they just build a big cabin on the lake while they're there and just chill there safely without a talisman? Or were they able to fly or something? I seem to remember in the first season, maybe even first episode, the fake grandmother or whatever was just like hovering outside a 2nd story window or something.

Wonder if the sunken shit is some deus ex machina type thing that the original villagers used before "escaping".

At first I thought the dude unplugged a stopper and the lake was draining.

Same.

Getting better but I continue to wish this show was like 15% less stupid. Why did they stuff the rag dolls with rocks to then have them still float when dragged back in to the lake?

edit - as a tax for things happening it looks like no episode next week
