I almost think Vinny is being influenced by HABIT like the camera zoom in the last video suggested. What a terrible plan. HABIT can kick a guy through a wall, I wish Vinny luck on restraining him.

Just a lurker, but felt like adding my voice to it since Vinny asked. I agree with most of you guys, this sounds like it could be a good idea, but the risks might outweigh the possible benefits. Then again, at this point it's really just Evan and Vinny left, isn't it? :/ Also what do they mean by summon? First thing that comes to mind is demonology stuff, they might be able to find a way to keep HABIT from hurting Evan/Vinny somehow if they use the right methods (assuming they use Judeo-Christian demonology, but Celtic mythology and Japanese folklore also have ways to bind/entrap spirits and fey in a limited area, so it could be any mythology we're looking at here)

I don't reallllllllly know where I'm going with this. I don't think I ever saw HABIT as a demon or a fey, more 'modern' like SM or the Rake. but if he is, and the boys could find the right mythology to help bind him or something during the 'interview' then it could work....

Rambling, sorry. This probably isn't helping much...

I told him to pursue Maryann Corenthal for now, & bring this idea up to Evan. Then if, after a while, they don't find her, they can try this "summon HABIT" idea.

Does anybody else think it's strange that Vinnie thinks he knows how to summon HABIT in the first place? This could just be narrative compression, but I wonder if it might also suggest the he has some knowledge about HABIT (gained from Corenthal?) that hasn't been shared with us.

Honestly? I think you guys sound a little paranoid. He's probably just gonna wing it.

I do get the sense that he might be trying to keep this from Evan, though, which I think is a bad idea.

Reading the comments on YouTube the overwhelming majority seems to be, "Nope. Terrible idea. Don't do it."
But nobody is offering any alternatives as to what they can do next!

On the surface, yeah, it is a horrible decision and if they do manage to summon HABIT, how will they make him go away again?
But honestly what choice do they have?... and how will the plot move forward if they don't do something!
Although, I am wondering like everyone else as to what happened to the idea to seek out Maryann Corenthal? Maybe Vinnie and Evan are just too afraid to wander too far from the house anymore?

So, I would say do it but make sure they take plenty of precautions first; handcuffs, give Evan a sedative of some kind, make sure that there are no weapons within reach, that kind of thing.

Does Vinnie or Evan even know how to go about finding Mrs. Corenthal? That information might have perished with Jeff.

I love how they are tossing us an "audience participation" bone.
Thanks guys! (sarcasm)

Personally, awful idea, but we have no way to prevent Habit from visiting any time he wants to anyway. He's probably there all the time, watching from just under the surface.

I thought it over and I'm on board with the Widow Corenthal plan. Dixie_Wolf and I were discussing it last night, and it sort of feels like Vince saying they are lost and asking what we think because this is the chance to say "don't go towards him, go towards us." Because we do have SOME information- at least enough to point them in the right direction. If they want info, I'd much sooner have them seek out Maryann. Only in worst case scenario would this be a good idea- they have other avenues to explore first.
I have given up email duties long ago, so can someone whip something up for this? Since we all seem to be in agreement. <3 I'd say the main points are 1. stay away from HABs, 2. find Maryann instead 3. when help is needed, ask us, and 4. maybe we should point out that since we don't know where HABs is, they should keep an eye out on themselves- it would be all too easy for him to hide in plain sight.
