You just won’t believe this. So I was at the Strawberry Lodge for a long weekend, when I drank some of this dank fear juice and now I’m tripping balls. Unfortunately my biggest fear is forgetting what quizzes are about … do you remember what happened in Fear (2023)?
Pop Quiz Hot Shot!
1) Why is the whole gang assembled at the Strawberry Lodge? Be specific, this is the reason given to the fiance.
2) But like … why are they reeeeeeeally at the Strawberry Lodge? Be specific, this is the reason the rest of the gang thinks is the case.
3) But like … what is the super duper secret reason they are at the Strawberry Lodge? Be specific, this is the reason the author actually suggested the place.
4) Welp, this place fucking sucks. Best get out of here. Except no one (except that one person) wants to. Why?
5) In the end the only thing they really had to fear was fear itself! Thanks FDR. Who survives the weekend at Strawberry Lodge?
Bonus Question: A year later we meet up with Bianca. What is she up to?
Answers
1) They all claim they are there to celebrate Bianca’s birthday. Because of the pandemic no one could really see each other, and this was supposed to be a big coming out party for everyone being able to be out and socializing a bit.
2) So the gang though thinks Rom is going to propose to Bianca right at the beginning of the trip. He chickens out (again), so they are all disappointed and are like “you better do this before this trip is done because otherwise we are all going to be sooooo mad.”
3) But yeah, Rom is an author with a best selling (presumably horror) book, and Strawberry Lodge was going to be the inspiration for his next book which is about what people fear and the rumors about the witches that inhabited the local area and fed on fear.
4) Strawberry Lodge is tricking their minds with fake new propaganda. I knew Strawberry Lodge was up to no good! On the television there is a newscast about some super Covid that is spreading and it is so deadly and contagious that the air itself is poison and everyone needs to watch out. So they all think (like dummies) that they need to stay inside. That’s the opposite of what they should do, but whatever.
5) Only Bianca and the lady who needed to go get her son which I can’t be bothered to look up the name of. In the end Bianca escapes the witches of Strawberry Lodge and then gets all these messages like “the plague was fake news just leave and you’ll be fine!” which is what I would have just done in the first place, so I would have been fine.
Bonus Answer: Well, can you believe it, not only is she a newly minted mother, but she is also an author. She’s continuing in Rom’s footsteps and even trying to write a bit about the ordeal at the Strawberry Lodge. But something is off. Her daughter starts acting weird and she is seeing visions and she realizes … she was pregnant drinking that fear juice, could something be up with her daughter? So she is off. And lucky anyways, she needed to get some detes on Strawberry Lodge anyways. When she gets there lo and behold there is a group there already quite deep into the fear juice adventure. And quite quickly her daughter is snatches away by a cloaked figure. Taking the few remaining survivors of the prior group into the basement they discover the catacombs beneath the Strawberry Lodge and the dark secret it possesses: eternal witches who feed off of fear induced deal from above, and now, also, a new member of the coven. Her daughter, born of the fear juice, has those same fear juice powers. But via the power of love a ghostly Rom interrupts their evil seance and extinguishes their mystical candles. Escaping, Bianca burns the Lodge to the ground and along with the lone surviving member of the new Strawberry Lodge group they leave. Is this the last we’ll hear of the witches of Strawberry Lodge? Fat chance.
It is called Fear Baby and it sounds dumb, but trust me … it is even dumber than you think.
