Spooky Month keeps getting crazier, deeper and more amazing with each episode ! Sr Pelo is just that talented.

[@coffee_2234]

Fr the lore is just got even crazier

[@Sus_headest]

6th episode is bad because its not funi as others and only has lore so its not that good

[@Andel-]

​@@Sus_headestI mean, if you are calling the episode bad purely because it's "not fun", then it doesn't make sense why you're even here. But still, let me spell it out for you. Grow up, lmao. Its good that Spooky Month has gotten more serious. In fact, I'd say it perfectly balances humour and seriousness. I'd say that it is the best episode so far. Everyone has their own opinion, of course. But it's nice to see that Spooky Month isn't afraid to bring up topics like Pump's parents, Skid's father, etc. And it's good that Pelo and all people involved knew the borders where jokes weren't appealing. The moments when the priest defeats Moloch and the moment when Lilla just breaks down are perfect examples. No jokes, no laughs. Humour is still present, like the old good table sounds when Skid and Pump are running (Ty Pelo), or when they're just running around the city and messing around, hell, even when they along with priest chase Moloch part is funny. So, what I'm trying to say is that Spooky Month 6 is an amazing episode, which knows the borders of both humour and seriousness. If it went by the same scheme that 1st part went, it wouldn't be so memorable and it wouldn't stand out so much. But that's just my opinion. So, if you don't like the new Spooky Month because it's not as funny, it's definitely your problem dude.

[@Voidus]

Just wanna add that one of the boxes in the attic says "Remember Lila", my main theory is that the dad betrayed the cult for some reason and was turned into a spider as a punishment (Also he may or my not be losing his memories? Idk), he lives in the attic because: 1. It's the least used part of the house 2. There's a lot of stuff up there to help him remember what happened 3. There's probably something up there that the cultists need to do some sort of ritual 4. He can listen to his family from the attic, and act when he needs to

[@kwayneboy1524]

My personal theory is similar which is that he was the leader of the cult until he met Lila and had Skid which caused him to reevaluate his views which then got him deemed as a heretic by the cult and then executed.

I think that it's safe to assume Pump's parents are both still alive. Judging by their evident wealth, I don't think they lied about his parents always working. Of course, all that money could be just social security money given to Pump's grandpa, or money that Susie gets from her live streams, but both of those ideas are pretty far-fetched.

[@Mugman.]

I really do believe this but I also don’t know. Maybe the wealth is a will? A picture in pump’s house also has a werid picture of the parents and grandpa smiling while pump and susie are frowning, they’re also next to grandpa, I feel like it means Something Also Susie says “what’s the point if they’re not even here.” When pump gets his “omnipresent eldeitch being” so idk Edit: Grandpa also looks sad when he looks at the picture of the parents and writing that says “we love you so much”

[@winterschizophrenia]

Pelo confirmed that Pump's parents are alive and well, they just work abroad and barely have time to even call their children, so... yeah-

[@thischannelprobablysucks]

Rick is confirmed to be Susie and -Wil- Pump’s dad, as shown by a Father’s Day video. It’s also shown that Skids father has a tombstone, for his faked death.

@@Mugman. I actually really like this idea, judging by the clear absence of his grandma, who you think would be living with her husband, it is very plausible that she passed on and was very wealthy in life.

[@TranscorpHR]

skid's father being a spider implies that there is a way to shapeshift or have your soul be sent into several different things that's quite alarming

[@banette0819]

Pretty sure this happened to whoever was trapped in the happy fella doll.

[@LunaNocturna522]

[@ElWasa_Wefa]

in one of the ARG's there's a book that talks about that.

[@kyseon2420]

or the mother just banged a spider

[@animatonico4862]

11:44 Another important thing in this scene is that if you look at the bucket with eyes you will see that when the spider grabs the mannequin the thing in the bucket looks at it and the eyes follows the mannequin's movement. For those wondering what that is, is the remains of the Happy Fella after the kids and the mom put him inside the oven and melt him. For those who doesn't know that doll was possessed by Dexter, the exterminator that was possessed by Moloch in episode 3 and that died after his neck snaped. After that his soul possessed the doll and later in episode 4 tried to kill the children, but this last thing you already knew it obviously. Some things that prove this are that in episode 4 the mom says that after getting that doll her kid was acting different and even asked for a cat when he doesn't likes cats. Dexter, as it was shown to us in episode 3, has a weird obsession with killing cats and the doll many time shown this same obssession in episode 4. Another prove is that the doll in episode 3 was normal until the exterminator died because after that, when they are in the sofa watching the TV we can see that the doll's pupils have changed and now it has Dexter's pupils (one eye has anormal pupil meanwhile the other has a black circle with the inside white as a pupil ). The last thing that proves this is that after they melt the doll in the oven and the mom's friend comes with another doll that also wants to kill all of them it says "Not again!" before being thrown inside the oven, which means that it was possessed by the same soul after leaving the melted doll and showing that both dolls were possessed by a soul. Now all of this may look like something not really important, but the fact that the remains of the doll were moving the eyes means that Dexter stills possessing the remains of the doll for some reason (probably because it didn't kill him at all) and that it stills up there in the attic being just a pile of ashes with two eyes. It also means that maybe in future episodes we will see more about the Happy Fella and Dexter because we all know at this point how much SrPelo loves making really important to the lore the most irrelevant things and details. Or maybe not and I just had a crazy theory. But what is sure is that the Happy Fella/Dexter it stills alive and probably suffering inisde that bucket

[@HBSCbeetroot]

There’s another thing to prove your point! When both dolls are burnt and Skid and Pump are left, Pump says that the doll was possessed, to which Skid is confused by this and brushes it off instead. It’s well known that Pump’s eyes change color when something out of the ordinary is happening, which started when he looked into the Eyes of The Universe monster. He must have had long lasting side effects that allows him to sense paranormal or abnormal activity, hence why he was able to deduce the doll was possessed

Wait what episode was it

[@Stewie400th]

One thing to note is whenever skid and pump first meet eyes only pump is affected by it's eyes skid doesn't seem to care And shown in the newest episode eyes can influence anyone like the priest which means most likely skid does have a connection with the cult too Probably on accident on his 🆂🅿🅾🅾🅺🆈 adventures for 🇸 🇵 🇴 🇴 🇰 🇾 𐌌Ꝋ𐌍𐌕𐋅

[@Sam-tl4ho]

Maybe his dad was inmune too, so the star monster killed him or convert him on a spider bc he could resist it, and thats why they are trying to get skid

If you look at the picture that the fat thief puts on the bag (a picture of Skid’s dad) the spider is like on his arm. My theory was that somehow the spider is in a way representing eyes (idk how to word this) because I am a strong believer that the dad’s soul is in the mannequin and we saw the spider lifting the mannequin back up unless the spider IS the dad and he just manipulates everything in the attic like we saw it do with the mannequin.

- Roy's uncle wasn't trying to abduct them... He was trying to S/A them :8, and has canonically done that to Roy as well untill Eyes killed him. - It's notable that the robbers also weren't taking traditionally "valuable" stuff such as money, jewelry, etc. For reference, Fat Thief was taking VHS tapes. - Some of the cult things at Skid's home had been shown before, at least since EP. 2 - Pump's parents work in a different state, this being confirmed by Pelo in a Father's Day art he drew back in 2022, I think - On the EP. 5 ARG, Dexter's patient file written by Patty foreshadowed her possession - Skid's dad is/was dead, he has his skeleton in the house itself kabddk. And yeah, he was a high-ranking member from the cult. That also helps explain why Skid isn't affected by Eyes or any other supernatural being unlike Pump and the Hatz Gang - In the ARGs of previous episodes, including the newest one of EP. 6, it's confirmed that 6 kids have gone missing and haven't appeared yet. Child kidnappings were common, but Frank's just had ransom money as motive, with the kids returning safely to their homes afterward. The cult, in the book pages revealed by the ARG, basically confirm they're concocting a pretty big ritual, thus why so many children have been disappearing recently, with Skid and Pump becoming potentially important sacrifices for this new ritual.

[@MysticG03]

Things get far more interesting when you dig into the hidden lore via QR Codes in the videos, I havent solved the Hollow Sorrows one fully yet, but it's more than confirmed that Skid's Father was the head of the Cult of Eyes. Bob and the Clown are connected and I think were meant to be new heads of the Cult after indoctrination before they were killed and handled. We also can assume one of the people we see in Hollow Sorrows isnt just a Cult Member, but the one that burned down Johns home. Another major thing is Green Eyes, specifically how Pumps eyes are green whenever near danger ever since their encounter with Eyes, but also that Bob'seyes eventually turned green and how the spider had green rings in the view we got. There also from then on are what look like 2 North Stars but thats actually Eyes watching them. I assume that Skid's father was sacrificed via some form of facial disfigurement but became the Spider which keeps his family safe.

[@chrimsonphantom]

I'm with you on that one. So far I know most of the letters I'm confused with the ones from the fire picture and one from the forest.

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

It's probably a red herring. The way the spider is shown reflects how previous villains for the next episode were teased. According to an old pelo tweet there should be 4 or 5 episodes left, there's no way they're formally introducing skid's father yet.

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

I have an almost full proof debunk for the spider dad theory now. Go to pelo strem channel, there is a stream where he makes spooky month stuff, and in it he says skid's dad will be revealed in the second to last episode, and if you still aren't convinced that the spider is the next episode's antagonist, the spider was featured in an old pelo tweet in a circle of other episodic antagonists, so the spider is nothing end game.

[@Mrzeon-pj6rk]

Another thing i noticed that in the end credits of the episode, an art can be seen of the priest escaping molak and reaching towards the "eyes of the universe", which could tie up to it being the _god_ of the universe.

I remembered something from ep 4 remember when skid and pump were drawing with eachother skid says “I Drew us getting POSSESSED by molack” and what do we see in the new episode there possessed by molak

or Skid's father was also immune which could be why he was turned into the spider

the Eyes of the Universe said in episode 2 to "always look at the stars". from THAT MOMENT onwards, you can see, in almost every shot of the sky, two very close stars one slightly bigger than the other. those are his Eyes, always watching. you can also see the same stars in every piece of art in the credits.

If the spider is skids father then he must be like pump because they both have big blue eyes so with this we could also say that skids father also knows eyes and I also have a theory because in episode 4 when skid pump and the happy fella make drawings, skids drawing absolutely foreshadowed episode 6. So my theory is that pumps drawing where their souls get sucked out by eyes is foreshadowing the next episode and 2 of the main antagonists being eyes and the spider that has the big blue eyes. BUT THATS JUST A THEORY!!! *A GAME THEORY*

[@TastyMcOrgans]

i also noticed some stuff like the spiders eyes being green like the killer's and pump's. Pump first gets these green eyes once he looks at the eyes of the universe and since the killer is tied to the cult somehow he might've looked at the eyes of the universe too. i also noticed that Skid didn't get hypnotized by the eyes of the universe in episode 2 meaning he is somehow resistant to the eyes of the universe.

[@joliegunn2270]

My personal theory is that eyes himself is skid's dad And that he had a more human-like form that he would take the appearance of before the events of spooky month And because he is no longer allowed to leave the area that he is currently in. He uses the spider to watch Over his family. I've also seen multiple theories about the way pump's eyes change to be blue sometimes, from theories to it Being that he's possessed by eyes temporarily, To his eyes changing with fear, to anything Paranormal being nearby causing his eyes to glow. But there's a detail I noticed that I think makes it more sense than any of those: Bob's eyes also glowed blue after being Attacked with the amount of strength that would kill a normal person. It is later revealed that he had a amulet on him, an amulet With a similar gem to the ring that skids, dad wears. Perhaps Skid's parents or whoever it was that actually gave him the pumpkin mask Also embedded one of those gems somewhere inside that thing, And the only reason he didn't have blue eyes before is because there's a key ingredient that activates the gems power: Meeting eyes or Perhaps eyes has to give the gemstone power by touching it and by grabbing onto pump, he gifted pump his power because of the pumpkin mask he wears.

[@fireexeGD]

Idk if you noticed this yet or not But At episode 2 : you can see skid cant possesed by the eyes of the universe, it mean skid have the connection to the eyes of the universe And from episode 5, we know, it was his father Episode 3+ : you can see the sky, there is star like little eyes. We remember at episode 2 the eyes of the universe said "always look at the star". And we can see, there is eyes at the sky. So it mean the star was the eyes of the universe Edit : i forgor, but the eyes that show up at the star, is always, when i say always, its ONLY show up when skid and pump at the scene(maybe)

Correct me if im wrong :

[@jesterofthestars]

Something else I feel should be pointed out is when skid and pump met that elderigde god every episode from then on pump's eyes glowed a blue tint everytime something weird Happened but skid seemed uneffected by this god and has shown no signs unlike pump. Which could also hint to skid being a hybrid of some sort to. Being immune to the effects of the god

The Spider could be also methophorical like as in " a web of crimes " aka he betrayed the cult. And what do webs do?

[@wahoobidy4912]

I think the spider is the guardian and possibly controlled by eyes as shown with the blue rings. I think eyes is trapped rather there under a cult that worships him as a god. Thus why he liked the kids because unlike the cult, they did not see him as "god" but rather just another being. Essentially being his only time to ever feel "human" in the metaphorical sense. Yes he's the eyes of the universe and knows all, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have hopes or ideas he thrives for.

[@Minymonkey]

now this isn't REALLY lore important but June is the mother of one of the bullies, not only do they have similar mouth designs but June also mentions having a kid that is out on spooky month (episode 5) and earlier on in that same episode we see a portrait with the unnamed husband to June and the bully kid (I don't remember his name because Roy is the only name they bang us over our heads with)

[@Terraria1043]

Thank thank you so much I was shock when I heard this thank you so much I love it

[@Marsh-mo9ml]

Holy hell! I was so convinced that the mannequin was possessed by his father, I didn't even realize that the spider was there, honestly that makes a lot more sense

[@ythegameritaisthebest]

You might be right cuz skid didn't get green eyes when seeing the eyes of the universe, and he just seemed unphased

[@Songal18]

Yeah I don't think Bob ALWAYS was a killer or wanted to Kill Lila, he was definitely told to by the cult. Also I have a theory that John, the mustache policeman's, daughter is a cult member. The reason we see pictures of her only as a young child and then in that angel costume, plus her name being Hope, is ties to how John has hope he can save his daughter from the clutches of the cult, and the pictures are him preserving those days of her innocence when she was young and John felt he could protect her from any "monsters". Note that when he says to Pump "parents love their kids, no matter what" and you watch the real ending on Newgrounds of tender Treats, you see a picture of John and his daughter in his wallet right next to a picture of a cultist. I first thought this could be his wife and it still could be, but now after episode 6 I think it's his daughter who is that cultist member as a picture in his wallet and he keeps both pictures there to remind him who that member is and what he's doing to stop them.

I’ve literally got into this series last year. And I so wanna know more about it since they have lore now. And emotions.

[@LadyL2121]

I have seen art of spooky month and reels of it. I thought it was cute and never thought about it until this video

[@Irenetmcd2309]

this series is crazy filled in lore

[@Scarshadow666]

Sr Pelo's Spooky Month is such an underrated indie-animated series! The progression of things starting out with silliness and Skid/Pump constantly being unphased with everything around them to becoming more serious was really well done (also Father Gregory quickly became one of my favorite characters)! ^^

[@trollge_lol]

Too be fair Moluck? moldduck? The demon was lift in the attic by the kids for 2 years

SUMMONING PART SPIDER SKID (REAL) (3 AM) (DO NOT TRY)

[@ramonkibaya9897]

Hey,Deepcut. Here are my theories: 1.Skid's father rebelled the cult.As a punishment, they turned him into a spider.He run away from the mansion and stay in the shadows from his wife and his kid (in the house)away. 2.Lila was a widow. She and her kid were a single family.*CANON*Father Gregor's true explanation with Lila in episode 6. 3.The Eldritch monster to refer to as the Universal High Most God in the Galaxy.

[@averahge_person]

that also make sense, skid was not hypnotized by eyes

[@erzeca]

you should also mention the secret imgur pictures! theyre FULL of lore and add so much info to the story!

[@NartSadiku-ws4ow]

Every day we stray further from footage quality 9:52

[@slywhemwick8071]

Honestly… I wonder if becoming a spider is a ‘blessing’ to the cult, like what happens in “A Shadow Over Innsmouth” from HP Lovecraft eldritch horror stories. Cause when Bob broke into the house for Lila, the mannequin was positioned infront of him to make it seem like THAT caused the squeaking noise and not Lila. If he was still on board with the cult, he wouldn’t have done that and just let Bob have his meal. I think that Skid’s dad was a sacrifice for the cult that they build up to BE something major and was the only sacrifice that ever succeeded so far(why the portrait was in the grand staircase). Then the tax of being the sacrifice came about and he started to become the spider(why some photos have the weird spider leg and others don’t). Then after realizing their mistake and realizing his kid… a fatherless child who wants to KNOW about their dad/make them proud could be swayed by the cult by false promises of answers and maybe even giving Skid a old robe and necklace(like what we see in with the old stuff) that belonged to his father… sounds like the perfect bait for a trap.

[@BetterCallPapyrus]

pumps eyes turning blue, and the eyes in the bucket.

[@SomeEditer]

I can’t believe that a show that just started off goofy and for fun became into on of the KZbin classics

[@CDATHEBEST]

Hope we are getting a spooky month film adaptation And hope Searchlight Pictures and Titmouse is going to be on production for this one

[@ScatterSocks]

I also wanna add that skid was the only one that wasn’t affected by Eyes

[@user-pe4hf3ni2p]

While this is possible, I feel like it’s either that the spider is an insider of the cult who made a promise to skids father, or the eyes of the universe protects his family by letting him protect them through the dummy, or the spider is just spying and on the end of the newest episode, it had enough of the dummy.

[@chrimsonphantom]

yeah because it was said at the end that they were lucky when they mentioned the big spider. It had to have some current relevance to the cult in order to spare the two thieves lives.

[@tomaetoma359]

The worst part of it is that they really are just kids just trying to have dumb fun.. 😔💔

[@Alik769]

13:51 btw in Episode 2 we see, that when everyone ( even Pump) cant fight hypnos from Eyes, Skid dont have any effect on them

[@Anti-Crave_]

11:51 also, if you didn’t know, that shadow character was a character from either ep 2 or 3, I don’t remember but nice he returns… Wait, why’s he in the cult?

[@sonyp1483]

Also, the fact that Skid is completely unafected by the eyes of the universe.

[@marystendi]

LETS GO SPOOKY MONTH THEORIES

[@user-fq2tn3fh6x]

I looked at the wiki, and the spider is actually his pet

[@ibraahimdureng7482]

That makes more sense honestly.

[@simontrujillocortes5309]

I think the father was the OWNER of the cult but when he left the cult for Lila and Skid they got Very mad

[@raynaxoxo13]

My theory is that the cult sacrificed him as revenge after he left

[@impshade3208]

Looking at the photos of Skid’s father in the background then seeing him as a spider reminds me of a story titled “The Metamorphosis”. The guy in that story used to be a hardworking man who hated his job, then all of sudden turned to a big. Instead of a spider, the guy turned into a giant beetle. Wonder what caused Skid’s dad to become a giant spider

[@axosotll]

Absolutely anything related to the cult: exists The fandom: OMG SKID'S DAD!!1!

[@noteaforme9163]

The spider bearing Skid’s father adds up in almost every way. The only thing I wonder though is the mirror in the same scene as the spider running in the floor, the reflection looks like the mannequin in the attic, like the mannequin is hunted.

[@Lorenzokkkk741]

nah the spider was probably a posessed spider by eyes to watch the robbers and make sure they dont die during robbing, or eyes doesnt have to do anything with the robbers and the cult. Because eyes does appear like 10 times in the hollow sorrows episode (as some big shiny stars, to bê exact, two.)

[@gladysnunez4874]

Some people say the Mannequin was possessed by Skids Dad turns out its a spider.

[@raynaxoxo13]

Personally I like to imagine it might be Lila mum/Skid grandma

[@Marudream407]

I also have a theory that Skid Father teached Skid some stuff that have to do with the cult, since he literally knows how to summon a demon, but the scarier thing Is that Skid knows the exact demon to summon, like he summoned demons before with his father, and maybe alredy summoned or just Met Eyes since Skid eyes didn't get blue the first time they Met with eyes

[@Nositrek]

I think that spooky month has some of the best writing in the entire indie animation sphere, the amount of time sr pelo spends writing really pays off!

[@X__223]

IT"S SPOOKY MONTH *spooky dance*

[@psicopato8017]

6:41 Why is there a shadow of a person in the mirror? Since there is no one other than skid's mother
