I meant to ask this during Sunday’s #HATM but forgot : if Remmick’s goal was to get Sammy and they needed to get into the joint to do so , and he allegedly had some form of control over Mary and Stack , why not have one of them tag Sammy while they were still inside the place after turning?

The content of this letter has been confirmed as real. Only three more years folks ….

I want to thank @herberthistory.bsky.social for choosing to do this one so soon after it became available. This, Dirty Dancing , and Oppenheimer are the big ones to me . I’m going to be taking a break from viewing for a while. Got some stuff to sort. But you guys are the best. #HATM

I’ve never seen this very last post credit scene. But heard about it. There is a theory that the individual Sammy sees off camera might be his father and there’s a possibility it might be the devil to whom he is going to sell his soul. It might be he’s in the afterlife. #HATM

Ryan Coogler has a fascination with the year 1992. This movie ends in that year, and it’s also the year Black Panther begins. It’s also the year Malcolm X was released in theaters which Coogler acknowledges is one of his favorite movies. #HATM

So here’s a question: if you could be with the love of your life for all eternity, but you had to be a blood sucking creature of the night, would you accept those terms ? #HATM

I’m kind of curious if stack and Mari are just living decent lives and staying out of the way or if they may have very well had a clan of vampires outside. They were nice to Sammy, but I highly doubt they were nice individuals. Probably not best to meet them in a dark alley. #HATM

This ending is very reminiscent of the ending of Black Panther with Killmonger looking at the sunset. And I can’t help, but wonder if the cancer Sammy has, or whatever disease he is going , is kind of a nod to what happened with Chadwick Boseman. #HATM

I didn’t notice the first time that stack doesn’t give a reflection in the mirror. #HATM
January 19, 2026 at 3:07 AM
I think it’s a real shame so many people didn’t bother to stick around for the true ending. #HATM

Buddy Guy is the definitive cherry on top for this movie. He pretty much is blues music personified. #HATM

Given the time period, I highly doubt Smoke standing over the bodies of a bunch of dead white men could have been successfully defended by a trespassing law. Him getting fatally wounded and joining Annie and his kid is for the best . #HATM
January 19, 2026 at 3:02 AM
Something very cathartic about this scene . #HATM
January 19, 2026 at 3:00 AM
I was wondering why smoke didn’t get the clan into the barn and fire on them from an elevated position upstairs. But then I realized he might be protecting something in the barn. Hence the locked door …. #HATM

Stack said that Sammy could drive on the way back home, and Sammy does. #HATM

I interpret Remmick seemingly embracing death as a sign that vampires can join their ancestors after they die, but it’s the powers and promise of immortality that keeps them from choosing to do so. #HATM

My only complaint is that this scene reveals that it was less than an hour from the time they allowed the vampires in the Duke joint to sunrise. So they only had to last a few few more minutes. #HATM
