Sebastian Skinner is my hero. Practically immune to both The Stranger and Lightless Flame, simply because he was too oblivious.

[distance]

I can see why Megan was shocked the first time. This Chad just walked in, had a pleasant conversation with her about getting flensed, and pulled a lump of flesh out of her drain without even blinking an eye, let alone gettong scared

[emduquemack]

Monster: Im telling you spooky stuuf!! mwahaha blood!!

Sebastian : aha... yes... fascinating, done! clean pipes, you can pay me here

Monster: what.. but.. I-

Sebastian: nice meeting you.

[ilovebooks]

the fact that the guy in this statement managed to smash his toolbox into the face of one of these demonic entities was SO satisfying

[Record_Scratch]

Megan had to grab my boy Sebastian by his face and literally force him to look at the scene for him to realise that something was wrong. What a man. Much respect.

Wish this happened in a horror movie. The demon just trying harder and harder for the protagonist to notice it. The protagonist only notices it days after it has given up and is crying in a corner.

[lassoroot]

Love that they were like "HE DIDN'T NOTICE!!?? CALL HIM AGAIN!!" And literally forced him to look in order for him to realize what was going on, legends only Sebastian 🤣

[orionsbelt]

Megan: So...I'm really into skinning and hollowing out people
Sebastian: Oh that's cool :)

[IsisNiko]

the fact that she called him back because he didn't notice anything the first time is actually hilarious?? like he specifically mentions that this terrifying creature was just... SHOCKED by how completely oblivious this dude was and was like' ok time to try again I guess'

[OnigiriKewn]

Plumber with ADHD doesn't notice demons, so they invite him again.

[the-stove-is-on-fire]

Sebastian's autistic swag is so damn powerful he's got all the ghoulies confounded.

[ktmac]

I like to think that Sebastian was Megan's first "case" or something. And she got so frustrated that he wasn't picking up on her subtle, well-practiced creepiness that she had to call him again and just shoved him into the room so he'd see it all or she'd be teased by all the other demons forever

[isabelleshaw]

Sebastian: " ah yes, there is a deep red liquid and the place smells like copper.

the calliope music gave me literal chills

[rachelyeets]

Bruh when I heard that calliope music I was like "Oh no"
But when poor Jon said "Circus" in that breathless, terrified voice I was like "*OH NO*"

[RainWelsh]

6:44 “Megan was stood in the doorway, T-posing to assert dominance”

[belindaluna]

I love the idea you could possibly defeat the fears by essentially ignoring them. They'd basically be the mascots from that one Simpsons Halloween special.

[klaushargreevesstanaccount]

Sebastian you absolute unit. The combo of ADHD and the ghost of customer service in one body is far too powerful

[IsisNiko]

sebastian rolled up the the building like "I Do Not See It v_v"

[dilbertbilbertcrabbert]

I've got the mental image of the artefact storage colliope rolling down the middle of the street in daylight now.

[sarahgrace]

that sudden moment it hits you that sasha being introduced arguing about calliope music (and its link to the stranger) was foreshadowing her fate as how did i not notice this
