Creepy Rigatoni: Channel Zero, The Dream Door- Season Finale

At last, the final Episode ever.  I'm not crying- you're crying!

How does this all wrap up?  Let's see...
Our Villain has kidnapped the Husband and is hiding out in 'the Ghost Community.'  Can he get what he wants?
He has laid a trap there and he's going to take what he wants- by force.  For that, you need an army...
Can our reunited Couple escape to tell the World what happened?  Will they survive the day?
Will we finally get the epic showdown that the 2nd half of the Show promised us?

To find out, watch the finale.  It's still on Streaming and now on DVD too.
I'm going to miss this insanity.  The finale Episode nicely builds off of the previous ones.  Stuff that is set up in little ways pays off, as do big Plot Points.  Our Villain continues to find new and different ways to be evil.  I like how they show the physical breakdown too- he's been exerting himself a lot!  The creature design continues to impress here.  Aside from Pretzel Jack (the clown) and the blond giant (meant to resemble the Father), we get all of the multi-colored monsters.  They are mostly just palette swaps, but they still look nice and freaky.  Without SPOILing anything, one of said monsters gets a new variant before all is said and done.  Everything pays off big here and it feels like a good climax.  The last one had a so-so one (save for the amazing ending) and others have had some issues at the finish line.  This one nails it, so at least they are going out strongly.  All in all, The Dream Door started off simple and got bonkers- as these things should.  It's a shame to see the Show cancelled, but I kind of called it when they dumped all of this Season on Streaming at once.  I guess I'm done with Channel Zero (unless Netflix buys it!), so I'll just have to pick a new door to go into...
Alas there is no more.  Time to go back to reading Creepypastas, I guess.  Or not- since I never started in the first place.
