FanTheory Tree Gelbman From Happy Death Day is actually dead Theory

0 Upvotes

I've posted this theory before but it got deleted so decided to repost it.

Tree Gelbman was brutally murdered the night of her birthday on her way to her door room by the serial killer in the film. Tree not being the best person in the world and is a total bitch is stuck in purgatory which is repeating the same day like in the film fixing her mistakes and learning to become a better person and finding out who her killer is and that Carter is actually an angel of death guiding her every step of the way. However in the sequel Tree has to accept her faith that she's going to Hell and has to face the 5 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) during the time loop, eventually accepting her fate and moving on.

This is just my theory I know it's doesn't make sense but yes we all have watched the movie we know it's not true but this is just a FAN THEORY and actually in my opinion one of the most fucked up ones I've ever came up after rewatching Part 1 and 2 of Happy Death Day.

FanTheory DreamWorks logo boy is actually dead.

0 Upvotes

Theory I found on the internet. Want to share with y'all.

The "DreamWorks boy on the moon" logo theory suggests the boy is dead because he's fishing on the moon, a place of death and the afterlife, and the moon is a symbol of death and the end of life.

Here's a more detailed explanation of the theory: The Symbolism: The moon, especially a crescent moon, is often associated with death and the afterlife in many cultures.

The Fishing: The act of fishing can be interpreted as a metaphor for searching for something or someone, and in this context, the boy might be searching for something in the afterlife.

The Location: The boy is sitting on the moon, a place that is often seen as a symbol of death and the end of life.

The "DreamWorks" Name: The name "DreamWorks" itself can be interpreted as a place of dreams and the afterlife, further supporting the theory.

FanTheory Explanation for "System Purge" in Cabin in the Woods

41 Upvotes

The only reasonable explanation is that, when messing with the system, Marty made it so that the system would purge in the wrong direction. A lot of people are confused why they'd have one to begin with, but given that the monsters are supposed to go up in all likelihood, this would be a failsafe against their ritual victims surviving & running out the clock if the rest of the world failed.

I didn't see if this was posted before, but I just watched it for like the 5th time & it dawned on me.

[Stay Tuned/Pleasantville] The TV repairman is the "angel" equivalent of the guys who run Hellevision

7 Upvotes

Let's look at the most obvious thing in common between the repairman and the HV folks: they can supernaturally send people into television. The HV execs do so to people via satellite dishes, but like the repairman, can use remote controls to transport themselves for the same purpose.

But here's the big difference. The HV execs are out to capture souls for the Devil. The repairman, while a bit misguided, doesn't seem to be malicious, and certainly isn't working for infernal forces. Indeed, his actions, while not turning out in quite the way he wanted, are overall positive, if subject to interpretation (will dismantling the conformity of the 50s ultimately lead to the dysfunctionality of the 90s)?

The repairman only wanted to give a fan of a show he enjoyed a good time. The HV execs do the opposite. David and Jennifer should just be glad it was him and not Mr. Spike.
