#sm 7

So, Pelo posted this clip for indie animation day.

And I noticed something about it. The kids are in their normal clothes, in fact.

They're also in their normal clothes here, but

They're wearing winter clothes next to the main witch.

My personal theory is that only this one witch is real and that all the other creatures are enemies in a game the kids play towards the start of the episode.

So, I really like what we've got so far and love the music (reminds me of Sugarland from the Cuphead Show). The fact that the witch's staff just has a random D6 hanging by a thread, makes her extra silly.

The big thing is that they fake us out and don't reveal her voice. But I do have 3 candidates for who might voice her

1-Lizzie Freeman-She already works on SM and can channel upbeat, wacky energy into her characters very well.

2-Gooseworx-Pelo and Goose have worked together before (Pelo did a minor voice bit in Elain Gets Adopted) and Lizzie could've easily tipped Goose off that Pelo could use someone like her. I can easily imagine the witch sounding similar to Bubble, if maybe higher pitched or more energetic.

3-Zoe Moss-I'm only really putting her here because she happens to have voiced Baroness Von Bon Bon, who fits into the same archetype as the woods witch, and having a seemingly similar unhinged edge.

So, a friend pointed out to me that Roy looks to have a scrape under his right eye in this shot.

And now we have these designs for the kiddos in a DnD setting, and Roy happens to have a scare over his right eye.

Well, Pelo blessed us, before we start, Pelo himself has noted that this collage was made earlier in production than the others, so it might not completely represent the final episode. So, let's go point by point

People filming at night in the woods- A filming crew of some sort (possibly even the hauntiest house gang) are set up in the woods while all the stuff with the kids happens. Alternately, because the guy laying down is dressed as Santa, this might be teasing something like a mall Santa Rick.

4 Voice actors- Pelo mentioned he would be contacting 4 new VAs for the episode.

TAWOG- We might see the kids in school, or this might be hinting at conflict between Skid and Pump.

Doomslayer pointing at a tree- The trees are part of the threat, possibly hinting at a character who's a sort of parody of "action men" in horror.

Fungal zombie ant- Probably one of the means by which the forest witch menaces the kids, or alluding to her having mind controlling powers of her own

Singing woman + Singing in the rain- Either introducing characters who are singers, or this will be a musical episode in some way. I really hope it's the latter.

Mud baby- Either one of the kids ends up covered in mud, or the witch somehow creates weird baby creatures as minions

Darkest Dungeon party- Given that only 3 of the party members are seen, maybe the kids split into groups of 3 while wandering the forest, possibly also referencing the are of them DnD art from one of Pelo's streams.

A chemical with a forest backdrop- Something to with either "potions" of some sort or how the witch can create illusions in fashion.

Grandmama Addams- The witch herself.

Maid- Probably a new character who works for Roy's family.

Some sort of family program- Either saying this specific show will be referenced, or possibly another implication of a musical episode.

Scooby Doo chase- The episode will homage one, likely in the woods.

Birch tree eye pattern- The symbol of the witch and the presence in the forest.

Parents embracing their kids- The families reuniting when the kids escape the woods, probably hinting at Roy's parents deciding to lighten up on him.
