Happy Town Forums

So the blue door movie is in german. Since i'm from germany i thought it will give some clues for the show but what i heard doesn't really help me figure something out. So here is what the talk about in the movie:

When Henley saw the movie they say: if the hangman knocks on the door, nothing is like it should be. We can't leave them there outside without protection. then come something with a cave can't figure out exactly what they say.

Womans Voice: What are u suggesting we have to protect ourself from him.

Man: There is not much we can do he only excists in the little human ability to (i guess the say hear but i'm not sure) It will stay that way untill the evil is defeated. His reign will never end. Do u know the picture?

Woman: What Picture

Man: A black cat climbs up ...

and then security comes in

When old Haplin and her grandson were watching it:

In the time the ... needs to celebrate his thing, we have to stay at home and realize that your mother is gone without a trace.

Woman: why do you say that?

Man :because it is true. she will be taken by a ghost and whose posessed words will be revealed.

Woman : And what are those words?

Man: That the town is going down... i couldn't hear the rest because of the explosion in the police station but something with a baby.

Woman: i don't care about the baby what about my mother?

Does someone get clues from all this ???

One of my biggest questions about it is what is Big Dave doing in the film.

Having rewatched episode 5, I have to revise my theory: Tommy's wife also speaks of going through a blue door when under hypnosis. This means it's not Peggy who controls the realm beyond the blue door, but the magic 'man'. Thus, the film "die blaue Tür" is just a window into that world, the bodies the magic 'man' abducts are kept in suspended animation while their souls are trapped in this world. People who die (like Big Dave) also go into that world under certain circumstances, but won't be able to leave unlike those whose bodies are still intact, kept in suspended animation between life and death.

I think Peggy was some kind of satanic cult leader (the hammer being something like her symbol of power/athame) who ruled the town with an iron hand of tyranny (remember, Tommy's father spoke of "really wicked" people), probably she and her followers murdered anyone in their way.

Along came the magic man, maybe some kind of indian spirit and took possession of Alice, probably after Peggy murdered her with her hammer. Residing in Alice's revived body, the magic man then took hostages and brought them into his realm, and gave Peggy the film "Die blaue Tür" so that she could always see the hostages living in there with the dead, in order to prevent further bloodshed. That's why she watches it all the time, and that's what shocked her grandson and made him stay: He saw his mother in there and knew she was still alive, but trapped between life and death, and that's why he decided to stay.

Morally speaking, the magic man is not the good guy (because he takes innocent hostages and traps them in a limbo between life and death, and uses the film to tantalize their relatives) but he is not evil either, as he has good motives (preventing further bloodshed in town, protecting those who possibly summoned him as a last resort against Peggy and her cult),

What do you think, does that make sense?

The above post is the only flaw in your theory. Otherwise, pretty interesting. I wish the writers would find a way to reveal what their ultimate plans were.
