You know another thing that makes THIS the horror season? The absolutely SPEED at which things are happening with no breaks.
Like Sibohan/Rosamund pointed out they haven’t slept/rested since the spider fight. That was 3-4 episodes ago! Action in this season happens fast and it doesn’t stop. This episode in itself also happened so fast—they went from one story to another in a series of desperate and frantic escapes, only to end up in an another unfamiliar land, but finally having the time to take a breath.
I’ve only watched a few other dimension 20 seasons, but in most of those (Escape from the Bloodkeep excluded, that season was WILD from start to finish) there are a lot more lulls in the action. The characters make the choice to stop and rest, or Brennan stops and begins to narrate the passage of time.
In this season, the characters literally all DIE and they still don’t get time to rest. They are constantly in danger and need to make life or death decisions and that adds an extra intensity to the eldritch, philosophical horror we already got going on
