Interesting she only mentioned Jack once Max learned about Jack…

I was thinking that it's likely that this entity can hear what people say in the houses. So it can't just know everything about people but instead thinks of ways to lure people out based on what it hears

Im wondering if he's the source maybe. Maybe not but it's cool how serious the town takes it like a better version of the town from IT

Maybe him having done the "one knock" in a door in the past made him part of "them" too somehow. Like he partook in their ritual and now he's a little bit of us and a little bit of them.

This could be potential explanation for how he became paralyzed just when she needed him most. Entity didn't want him to interfere.

Yeah, but it was happening well before Max was even born, since his grandpa told him stories from the old days

I thought the same. Like perhaps Max has more to do with this than either of them know..or at least more than she knows. It wouldn’t really make sense for Max to stay the night and attack if he knew though. I sense a sequel.

Maybe it isn't just Max, but it's anyone in town who has the knowledge about the person they're trying to mimic. So in other houses it could be different people paralyzed getting their memories sucked out.

Or until she mentioned Jack out loud— or maybe even until she started thinking about Jack.
