what makes it worse imo is the blood and gore implies after she turned she ate her recently drowned child and she probably had no idea she would do that
Yikes that might be true fr
The baby probably just decayed in the water
@@elxr9434 can blood still pour out or leak out the body after being strangled? cuz if so that would explain the blood in the bath unless it was a...possible banging the childs head in? T-T
@@LadyLunarella no you'd need crazy force to draw blood from strangulation
The child would have turned and bitten her under the water. Making even more tragic after sacrificing her child to survive and becoming infected despite what she did.
The dark environmental storytelling is definitely something that I wish didn’t become so sparse later into the franchise, this little sequence in 6x14 was always pretty unsettling to see
I do because I'd rather it be sparse and maintain the shock value than happen too often and be numb to it
We have that awful story Maggie tells to her group while they’re in that subway train car. That’s S11 E2, and then we have those cannibal people, also in S 11, who attack and try to kill/eat Connie and Virgil. That’s some of the darkest storytelling of the entire series, imo.
I remember also in season 2 when T-Dog is looking for supplies in cars, he finds cigarettes. When he turns his head to look at the backseat, he sees a baby car seat with blood all over it. Hinting that a walker got to the baby.
Little details like that are what seriously bring the horror into this franchise. I wish they did more scenes like that later on
What was also a noticeable presence in the first season and such with frank in control,, there was the presence of God. It was on people's minds, and then there was also a sense of guided fate and good deeds done return good things among kinda attitude..
I bet you amc corporate megatyranny told frank to cut out that god and hope crap. .. then amc does the preacher and desecrates the divine potential symbolism driving the arc of the story subtle. Woke
@@Swell-Films
@@Swell-Filmsit's a nice blend of showing the brutality without just being pain/torture corn
We barely see kids because the walkers would've literally eaten every bit of flesh off the bones also most likely including the brain and also there's still big cities that managed to survive as seen in world beyond and the ones who live
There's also that scene in Alexandria, where Rick is leading a group through a zombie horde. The kid, Sam, sees a zombie child limping along as if some of its tendons and ligaments had been severed. That's what makes Sam freak out.
Alternative theory; she could've gotten bit while fighting off the walkers, and chose to mercy her child before she turned. Descending into madness either; before his death, from the infection and or her inevitable death, or after, with her child finally hushed forever.
Absolutely what most likely happened
wonder why the toddler didn't turn though? There are often bodies found posed and if everyone was infected then they should have turned.
@@selalewowmaybe the baby eventually got out , or she got to the brain and it wouldn’t come back
This is most likely what went down.
Probably from shaken baby syndrome @@selalewow
the mother could have either shaken the child too hard or (my theory) put her hand over the child's mouth and accidentally suffocated her. it doesnt have to be intentional, children are so fragile that one moment of anger can be too much. the hush hush scratches could be her going mad afterwards, like morgan did. pre-death seems unlikely to me. she would be busy trying to shush the child, rather than leave it crying while she scratches. post-death all alone guilt-ridden scratching seems more likely to me
The fact that what was left of the kid was fully submerged in the sink implies drowning. Can't see anything else the writers would have been going for with that.
Agree on the scratches/writing probably being a post death thing though.
@@SpadeDraco Unless she did kill it, it turned and she smashed it in the sink, then filled it with water to cover it up.
@@selalewowno she clearly drowned it when turning, and when turned ate the body
It is like an episode of M.A.S.H where they were trapped in a bus with a bunch of refugees and were hiding from an enemy patrol and a child wouldn't stop crying so the mother smothered her child to death. The main character had a break from reality making him think it was a chicken the woman killed cause he couldn't deal with the trauma of it.
@@DustinDonald-cz9ot Sadly, evolution has never given infants of our species the instinct to be quiet in times of danger. It makes the baby trait kind of ironic in a way.
The example of the opposite from "show don't tell", where a character tells the darkest imo story is when Maggie talks about her encounter with a family of father and sons who kept mutilated, abused, pregnant women in their house and tried to lure her there because women the kept had died from what they've done to them.
This story lives rent free in my memory since I've heard it
i'm intrigued. what episode is this?
@@nicole1528 I don't remember the exact episode unfortunately. It's early in season 11 when the group goes through the underground metro and Negan is leading the way because he's the only one who knows the city. It's episode one, two or three.
@@nicole1528 season 11 episode 2 acheron part 2
I didnt think they were pregnant. I remembered the story as...a man with a shopping buggy that he was struggling to move. He offered her n Herschel food in exchange for help. A fight ensued Maggie found a cloth with chloroform on it he planned to knock her out. Bc the guy was a cannibal. They were fattening up the legless armless bodies to eat them. Bc Maggie says something like "when I saw them mutulated with big round bellies I knew there was food" she then found the stash & she n Herschel left n had supplies. Ill have to go back n watvh it again bc now you have me wondering...
@@mtnmama2291 no, she said she knew there was food because there were multiple men in good condition. She said there was something moving inside women's belly's
The darkest story for me in the whole Walking Dead universe is the story Maggie told on that subway car about those men who were keeping women chained up and cutting off their body parts and r*ping/impregnating them. Ugh, I could never forget that story no matter how much time has passed.
Jesus, was this Season 11 or 4?
@@alesundgresiek8389 11 or 10
@@alesundgresiek8389 it was S11 E2
This entire story Maggie tells to her group in the subway train car really reminds me of the very end of that movie Bone Tomahawk… OMFG!!😱😳
Yeah. And she said they were deformed men. What made that part creepy was the thought of that going on long before the world fell apart. I like when movies and shows acknowledge that things don't have to exist in a genre bubble. If the zombie apocalypse happened, weird people like from Wrong Turn or Hills Have Eyes could still be out there.
In Season 11 Episode 2, we also had those scenes with Daryl in the abandoned tunnels where he found that dollar with messages and photos of two kids as well as a dead guy with a suitcase handcuffed to his severed arm and walkers that were formerly homeless survivors
Also the picture of the 2 kids has the girl holding a toy bunny. Daryl later finds that same bunny with the bagged corpses
Archeron i hope he does this one too
I think the mom got trapped in the store on breakout day. The walkers that are decomposed like she is are the really old ones that happened at the beginning. She was probably the owner so she had a play pen to keep her baby in while she worked. Also had some toys and books to keep the baby occupied. The photographs looked like they were the type you would haves at your desk at work of family members. I don’t think she lasted a long time. She wouldn’t be able to run because of her cast plus the baby crying. I think they lasted a few days. Maybe a week. Dehydration wouldn’t have been an issue because there was the sink. I think she had been more psychologically motivated to kill her baby than a supply issue. I think she realized her child would die either by Walker or by eventual starvation so she did it as a mercy. After doing so she had a psychotic break similar to Morgan and that’s when she wrote hush hush hush on the walls. I also think she may have been bitten by her own child because everybody turns. She wouldn’t know that because at first everyone thought you had to be bitten. So she kills the baby, it reanimates and she pulls it out of the sink because she regrets killing it in the first place. She then gets bit by the baby. Maybe she then drops it back into the sink and some type of head trauma happens at some point from the time of death until some point before Denice finds the scene. It could’ve been an active Walker for years but would be unable to lift itself from the sink with the physical body of an infant. Then the mother gets the fever and turns into a Walker herself. During the fever may also be when she wrote on the walls.
Agree especially since this is a clinic what food would she have at best a packed lunch and the baby probably worse baby would've died in a week max she can't produce milk because starvation so she chose less suffering vs more suffering
Fuck. U SAID IT!!!
I ain't reading allat
I completely understand why, for multiple reason they don’t but I wish more zombie media depicted turned kids. Could be seen as a cheap pull at the heart strings maybe. But if done right I think a director/story writer could convey a multitude of emotions and grief
Now that you mention it, it sounds more likely she killed it by accident by suffocation when trying to get the kid to quiet down, then likely got bit when it turned and tried killing her walker-fied child with the sink.
I still think she had a gun though, she likely tried to "oof" herself but must've aimed too low and blew her jaw off only to die to the injury.
This environmental storytelling froze my blood over when I first saw it..
Small notes on your explanation : the words on the wall looks like they were scrawled with a red crayon, and not carved in blood. It's way too clean. The woman's jaw injury makes it look like she might have tried to off herself with a shotgun, but there was no such weapon around her from what I recall. The rest of her body looks in pretty good condition, other than the decaying.
Additional question : If the kid drowned, wouldn't he have turned? Unless she later had to put him down for good, explaining the amount of bloodied water...
Great observations.
Its hard to say what really happened to the child, they leave it up to you to fill in the gaps, I think it’s possible they did turn, and are possibly still in the sink in a dormant state, like the lurkers that don’t move until stimulated by something.
Yeah, definitely scribbled with a red crayon. There’s not dried liquid on the letters like there would be if it was blood. You can see the scribbled lines. So many different things could’ve happened to this poor mom and bebe. Horrifying to truly think about.
My interpretation of this was always she got bit while fending off the walker and knowing their fate, chose to kill her child instead of having him eaten. Problem is... If the child was drowned, as is suggested, he still would've come back. If she somehow damaged his brain as to not let that happen, then why is he in the sink? That's the interesting thing about TWD/WDU... Fans are so into the shows, they scrutinize every detail to make sense of things and continuity. For me, I'm still kinda pissed Rick has never, ever mentioned Wayne Dunlap after he said he would. Another detail was "solved" by my grandson. When he turned 11, we started letting him watch, and I would re-watch with him to catch him up to speed. One conversation I mentioned that if they were the only survivors, where were all the walkers? Atlanta is a huge city and should have boatloads of walkers. He said "they're stuck in their houses, they can't open doors"... LOL... out of the mouths of babes 🙂
Smart kid
I’m not going to lie, I completely forgot about this part of the episode. I enjoyed your explanation on this topic. I guess I was so focused on the main story I didn’t pay attention to this but I will always reflect more on it now
Early walking dead is absolutely filled with little details and background stories like this, it makes for a really fun re watch if you’re searching for it
When Tales came out I was really hoping to see the lead up to this scene, since the first time I saw it I just can’t shake it. There’s a similar storyline in the MASH tv show and it’s so heartbreaking. Thank you for this video, your stuff is so great ❤
Hey thanks so much! Tales imo was the greatest missed opportunity in this franchise, so many ideas unexplored.
Mash really came out of no where with the feelings sometimes
That scene from MASH always brings me to tears, especially because he kept insisting it was a chicken and had to be snapped back to reality. :(
@@MercedesDiane Omg, I remember seeing that MASH episode as a kid and it still messes my head up. incredibly sad!!
I mentioned that episode up above didn't think anyone else would of made the connection glad to see I was wrong, such a tragic episode.
It’s possible that the water had ramped up decomp of the child and there was nothing left to turn after a while
You decompose faster submerged in water that’s why the water was pure gore, the child had decomposed to his skeletal structure and there was nothing to be reanimated anymore
Give her props she managed to kill a bunch of walkers by herself with a broken leg
Id love to see more videos talking about the environmentel stories of the world of the walking deas by the way
When I saw the sink, I gasp in horror of what she had done, it's so horrifyingly sad
‘… and lack of sleep …’ Very good point
I wonder.
If the mother just drowned the child then it would have turned in that sink. It could just be dormant in there. Still.
My thoughts exactly…. Too weak to crawl out.
A video regarding Randal and his group and who they were would be interesting, I always thought they were the bandits that invaded terminus and trapped Gareth his brother and mom in the train cars.
i hope they expand on that and make that actually true on this new tales show they have discussed
Interesting connection!!! Pr they could have evolved into the claimers 👀
Oooooooo that’s a neat idea
Do more of these scene breakdowns they get you thinking
I think the "Hush" words are in crayon
she also looks like she could be melted a little? not sure if she used any acid or anything, but it could be decay
There's also, as Sir Pterry called it, The Dreadful Algebra of Necessity.
It's possible the mother was injured and, while running out of food or injured further, knew her toddler would starve to death or get torn apart by walkers, so she...saved him from a worse fate. Then found there was nothing for her to do but wait and starve, suffering the same fate she'd just saved her baby from enduring.
That kind of thing could steal the last of any sanity/hope; hearing the cries of your long dead baby, the wailing moans of the dead and the gunshots & and screams from those about to join the ever growing shuffling horde...
Just a thought.
Reminds me of a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in 28 days later, a reflection in a car window as they're fleeing shows Cillian Murphy looking at an orderly stack of bodies next to an abandoned bulldozer at a mass grave. No dialogue, just a grizzly image that gives a glimpse of what was going on up to the apocalypse
It also looks like she tried to (weapon that shoots spicy rocks) herself but aimed too low and removed her lower jaw, likely succumbing to that injury.
Man you should make more videos like this looking into the background stories from all across the series!
old walking dead was so good
I always took this as TWD’s version of “itchy tasty” from Resident Evil. I think she got bit and was slowly turning. She scratched the walls with some of the last bits of her human mind, the only words she had left, just like the dude writing itchy tasty even after he was pretty much already gone
The walking dead took "Show don't tell" to a whole other level.
1. Another possibility is Mom was bitten clearing the walkers and ended her child’s life because there was no one else to care for her.
2.Mom could have definitely snapped and killed baby. She could have had post partum combined with the traumatization of the outbreak. Being alone with a young unsettled child, trying to survive and in constant danger would be too much for anyone.
Hey Ty I gotta give you massive props to that warning in the beginning. Children being hurt is something I can’t cope with so the warning is very appreciated. Love the vids otherwise!
Its a tv show, AKA not real
It's obviously real fucking life.
It’s a show about the end of the world, PLENTY of kids died throughout the shows run

@@countchompula1896 don’t get me started on telltale either
Pls make more of these analysis! For example the zombie soldiers in that sort of circus in season 7
The amazing story telling in the beginning of this show was one of my favorite things, I always loved trying to put these stories together and always hoped for some kinda stories , comic or tales episode on them. These videos are amazing man
Great job on the video Ty Swell and this episode scared me and I felt so bad for the kid. It’s just sad what parents did to their kids during the outbreak. It makes me more sad that the mother drown his kid in a sink! People say “TWD isn’t dark” well it is.
Considering the kid didn't turn it's pretty likely she did something even _darker_ than just drowning him.
@@DominionSorcerer I mean the kid was crying
@@aaronpasettiI think he’s right there was gore in the sink too and the body must have torn apart or eaten. I think the mom was about to turn and drowned her baby first.
@@Tms0211 I mean we could get a back story or something. It’s just creepy
Was waiting for this one, dude your channel brings me much to joy yo be able to watch and discuss TWD and all that encapsulates it, than you TY 🙏🏼
Hey thanks so much for the kind words :)
Wow. I always wondered what they were trying to tell us but I never put much thought into it. Thanks man.
Such a wonderful video, I’ve gained so much more appreciation for TWD because of you.
Hey thanks so much for watching! :)
As a father of a toddler, rewatching this scene lit on a different level.
The toddler shoe made me think of the old 'six word novel,' "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." Idky but it made me think of that.
Yes… very sad.
This reminds me of arguably the darkest thing you can find in fallout 3.
There's a collapsed train tunnel, and the only reason you can get into this pocket is because over time one of the wall of the tunnel collapsed.
Inside you'll find a little pocket, a section of the tunnel next to a train, with the paths both behind it and and in front of it sealed off.
Inside this pocket you'll find the following things:
The skeleton of a man, the skeleton of a woman in a dress, a bottle of whisky, a knife, and a baby stroller.
It's implied when the bombs fell that these people became trapped there when the tunnel collapsed on their train, sealing them in to that pocket.
Anything other then that is speculation.
I absolutely love dark stories like this one.
Keep it coming !!!
i think she got bite in her attempt to clear the place th died from her injury then woke up and ate her kid.
Oh hell yeah, a new Ty Swell vid. I don't remember this bit, either. This will be a fun way to relax and unwind -
Well earned like my brother , keep the bangers coming , it’s great to see you getting the attention your content deserves 🇮🇪✌️
Hey thanks so much!
You should do the one michoone stumbles upon when they get to Noah's community. The kids dead in their beds and the mom in the chair.
Great suggestion
@@Swell-Filmsif I’m not mistaken, I think that was just the work of The Wolves, though outside of the No Way Out vid I don’t think you’ve talked about that group yet so that could be interesting 💯
Another good one is the very 1st episode, when Rick is searching for gas and finds the horse that takes him to Atlanta - the deceased farmer with the shotgun who killed his wife and himself, and wrote "God Forgive Us" on the wall.
Superb, more of this please !
Enviromental storytelling is fuckin great, i love it when playing dead space and actively seek those stories
You really do an excellent job. Thanks
I love your content! Awesome job!
good video idea. I love a lot of post apocolypse settings purely because of stuff like this. The stories that arent mentioned
loving the channel man👍
I agree that this was likely the most disturbing scene in the initial series. It made me sick to my stomach and so sad at the same time.
The one the gov had come across was the most disturbing imho. The dead man witha rifle, two decapitated bodies with signs. and the woman and the two walker heads inside. “Its best not to think about it” - Brian
These horrific scenes are eye drawing. But also Incredibly sorrowful. But they lay it out so perfectly you dont even have to think what happened.. you just know by the signs. Either it being litterally. Or Physically in the remains of the fallen. The one with the decapitated soldiers you can feel the anger and hatred the man had for these men. Trusting someone enough to let them in your own home because of a uniform and it be so wrongfully abused. The justification come across so Beautifully. Yet erie.
I’m planning on covering this story next. Such an eerie scene.
Last i watched twd when i was a child, like i didn't really connect and care the deeper meanings of stuff like that, so interesting, might give the earlier seasons another shot sometime soon
Another aspect that would had drove her mad is the drown baby would had turned into a walker too, luckily for the audience water decompression made the baby a skeleton faster
there's also the one at the farm house that Rick got the horse from
One problem with this theory is that walkers don't have much of an appetite for the dead. Likely she was bit and started going crazy with the fever. Likely, the mom died first from the bite and then consumed the toddler.
TY swell can you cover the beheaded soldiers next please
Environmental storytelling is some of the best in my opinion. Movies, series and games benefit some much from a little thoughtful set dressing that makes the world feel that little bit bigger while not necessarily impacting the actual story at all.
mentally unwell people have done the same thing in situations that are certainly less dire than being locked in a building surrounded by zombies in the apocalypse with a broken leg, so overall the tale is mostly tragic because its way wau more believable than some people probably thought
Please do more of these .. new sub here xx
Perhaps after the murder, the mother took poison and killed herself. She was in a drug store.
This would be a great TWD Origins story.
The idea of kids going through this awful death damn.
I’d like to know the backstory on how those cannibal people who lived in that house of horrors devolved into what they eventually became. The episode was in S11 and it was titled ‘On the Inside’.
I’d also love a backstory into what happened to the Vatos gang from S1. Did the Governor’s people raid them? Did another group? Or maybe one of the sick/elderly people simply died and attacked the others. What a nightmare situation! It would have gotten out of hand so quickly, with so many disabled people unable to really get away from walkers. Very sad.
And, finally, I’d like to know what happened with that boat full of walkers that the group finds at Oceanside and practices their skills/training on while putting them down.
That’s the fate of every walker that’s not put down. Slowly wither away into a skeleton and fall apart.
My theory is that, she was with her husband/partner and took refuge in the boutique, maybe she was the owner or a employee because the front door wasn't temper with and had the lock so maybe she had the keys of the business. Maybe she and her partner thought it was going to be a good place to lay low and figure out what to do next but one day while her partner went outside probably to look for supplies, walkers came and she quickly went inside where her child and took him to hide in the back room but the child started crying. The partner could have arrived and saw the walkers at the door and open fire at them (you can see holes at the back of their heads) but maybe there where too many or ran out bullets and ran away leaving his wife and child behind.
I don't think the mother was capable to use a gun or a blunt weapon due to her cast not giving her enough balance. Not knowing what happened outside and the moaning of the walkers continue, the mother probably assumed the worst and the stress of the situation grew more as her child continue crying she got into a psychotic episode and took drastic measures. Probably she attempted to end herself or die of starvation afterwards.
Thats my theory tho and either way thats a nasty and sad way to leave.
Something that sticks out to me is the music.
Since music is often used to enhance the experience of a scene we not only hear such a haunting composition to reflect the horror Denise uncovered, but it's also a repeating score that grows louder and more chaotic only stopping when she leaves the room.
czcams.com/video/hne1FPKcIHU/video.html
I was never much a fan of the show since I can't handle the sight of dead bodies but my mom watched the original series religiously. Occasionally I would walk in the living room and check out what was going on since the story overall was interesting. This is the only scene I remember in full from start to finish. A close second is the scene at the farm when the gang discovered the walkers in the barn.
Seems pretty accurate to me
It was sad when Denise bought it after Daryl telling her she did good finding the place.
I knew something bad happened. The tennis soe in the sink said enough
I remember it like it was yesterday.
My explanation : She ate the child because of hunger and injury. Obviously went mad from the experience. Also I think she tried to off herself in the room & the pool of blood is her. (Honestly it should have dried completely but this is a zombie show)
Theory: The woman and her family, consisting of her toddler and partner decide to hide out in the store as the zombies get closer, I say partner because moving the crib with a broken leg would be tough, the partner left for supplies and never came back perhaps even dying outside the store. Trapped inside with an upset toddler, zombies banging on the windows and no way out the woman suffered a mental break and either accidently or not smothered her child driving her further insane. Writing Hush on the walls with her child's crayon (looks more like red crayon then blood to me- given the multiple thin lines making up the letters) until she eventually died herself.
To me those toddler pictures seem to be on the table but under a layer of glass, considering how misty the surface is, and that the actual photos themselves dont seem to be damaged or discoloured. I think she might have owned the store or at the very least worked there as the clerk, and that perhaps she fled her home in the city/suburbs to the secluded store for safety.
Perhaps the room she drowned her child in was the most separated in the store, becoming a place she hoped would keep the crying muffled from the outside.
About the red "HUSH" written on the walls, I think it makes sense that she wrote that with a childs red crayon, making it all the more disturbing. It would take far too long for her to scratch all those words in, that large, espescially when considering that they dont look engraved but rather drawn on.
If she had used her fingernails and they gradually became bloody, the writing would be less consistent probably being more of a scratched on look that gradually included blood, and in the meantime would have given the walkers ample time to break in due to the neglected cries of the child in favour of the mother writing on the walls.
Seeing that the child is fully dressed based on the shoe still firmly on the foot, I would assume the mother quickly descended into a frustration and fear-fueled insanity, grabbed a red crayon, and while muttering "hush" over and over, scribbled it onto the walls. Then, when the wailing got louder, she grabbed her toddler and... you know.
But yeah, I completely agree with a lot of your theory. Tragic.
(edits for grammar)
Great vid
Thank you!
another thing to think about, the kid would probably turn after a while in the sink, so how would the mother deal with that....
theres a darker moment in the show with the pregnant zombies
Oh fuck yes, this type of video is right up my alley! I love the background stories. Like when Carol sees the shadow of 3 walkers and its implied to be a mother & her two children because the building they were in was a shelter for abused & battered women. Please tell me you'll be making more of these videow
Holy shit now that is a niche topic. I completely forgot about the shelter story, thank you for bringing it to my attention.
I am planning on covering more of these stories! I’m thinking of doing the governor solo episode “liar” story next.
@Swell-Films of course! It was such a shocking, sad scene. It doesn't last long, but you get the gist and it's gut-wrenching! They sought shelter from the monster at home only to see horror at their supposed safe haven. Let me hit the bell now so I can see more of these background story analysis as soon as they go live! Great video!
Very similar to that MASH episode
Exactly what I thought as I watched it the first time. So sad…
This scene always bothered me deeply.
If you can find more moments like this in the series, I would love to see an analysis of some more of these scenes.
I absolutely love covering the more niche aspects of this franchise so I’ll absolutely do my best!
@@Swell-Films it's awesome hearing you cover it in such detail! I always pick up on the subtle stuff but I've never thought about it all laid out like this, so I really enjoyed the video. You do great work for the TWD community :)
@@Swell-FilmsOne that’d be neat to cover is the “liar”, “murderer”, “rapist” bodies that The Governor and co find in 4x07, especially with how the “liar” being decapitated influences Hershel’s death
I was rewatching this episode a couple weeks back and forgot about that scene and how disturbing it was. A lot of stuff in TWD can be called disturbing, but this scene is the worse for me. I think what adds to it is the fact that it never really lets you know how exactly it happens, rather it gives some clues and leaves the rest to the viewers imaginations. Leaving the thought of what she did to the imagination is worse than actually showing it imo.
I kind of think she was infected from the fight at the front of the building then while washing her child in the sink she could have gone into a frenzy. Although judging by the age of the child I don't know if she would still do this.
I agree, but drowning wouldn’t cause that much blood in the sink (I think the body just gets bloated). think it was worse..
Please do more of these detailed breakdowns. I cant recall if the melted walkers in Atlanta had an explanation given
Thank you! I believe those walkers were hit by the napalm in operation cobalt.
@@Swell-Films Exactly. They were.
maybe she ate him because that looked like lots of blood in the sink and only a shoe or foot was left and the rest of his clothes and bones are under the surface of the blood in the sink
That’s an extremely dark theory, but completely possible
It would have to have gone further than that, because the dead child would have come back as a walker. The mother would have had to destroy the brain.
That is genuinely the scariest looking goddamn walker in the show
This reminds me of two things, from the adventure time, there’s a gas station that I think princess bubblegum finds, and this is another show don’t tell, that has been covered on CZcams, and the second is the show don’t tell ish from a znation episode where a news reporter woman ended up starving to death and turning, after the helicopter that was meant to rescue, ended up crashing into the street leaving her alone trapped inside the news station
Look at 3:10, I think she ate her non-injured leg. There's no meat left on the bone unlike her other leg in a state of identical decay...
I 100% agree with your assessment of that scene .. Spot on.
Maybe the mother killed the baby in the sink and ate the flesh to stay alive for a bit but then got driven to insanity after the solitude she had suffered
Other things to consider: The woman may have had pre-existing mental illness. Even something like post-partum psychosis. After the breakout, she wouldn't have been able to get anti psychotic or other mood stabilizing medications. It looked like there was at one point, at least one other child, possibly 2, since the children from the picture looked to big for the crib/shoe.
There may also have been other adult survivors there at one point. Maybe others made a break for it, with the promise of coming back for the injured woman and baby. They might habe made it, or not. If they re-animated, their remains would be gone even if they died.
Maybe without their return the woman slowly deteriorated mentally until dispare consumed her.
Yeah, but she was LITERALLY in a pharmacy… she would have probably had plenty of access to antipsychotics/antidepressants/anything else she could’ve needed.
I feel that after she died via self inflected wounds or starvation that when she turned she ate the body....only thing that doesnt make sense is *technically* after the child drowned...they would have turned as well and thus attacked the mother instead....so its like a weird paradox
She could've bashed his head In while drowning him
Of worse her baby came back and she had to kill it a second time
I guess she could have also realized hopelessnes of the situation and do murder suicide out of mercy as well rather than slowly die, and not just to keep the child quiet. Such dark scene either way, and we really cant know the details
So its the plot from Quigley Down Under but with zombies instead of coyotes
Your theory is certainly a possibility, I have another theory:
Everything goes the way you said until the mother retreated with her child to the back room, she would have prioritised her child’s well-being over her own, feeding him/her and going without food herself until finally, not able to escape, the inevitable happened and she died, then she turned … and she was still hungry 😰😰😰
Thanks for a scary good video Ty and hug your furbabies all 💙🐱💙
Do you think the chold reanimated? I would make sense right? But if so, why didnt it not leave the sink?
Even if her leg had healed at that point she'd most likely been unable to remove the cast herself and be stuck limping like an idiot
Soaking it in water would of got the cast off.
@@mrcarlbaz1 That's not common knowledge
@@krideri2It’s pretty common knowledge that water makes plaster go soft. Even if someone didn’t know that they could chip and pick away at the cast until it fell apart.
@@krideri2 If you ever get a cast, you are told not to get it wet.
Plus if the woman worked in the pharmacy she should know this.
