If you've ever seen that movie with Natalie Portman, Annihilation? There was a bear in that movie that could do something similar, and it freaked me out when I watched it. That was what I had in mind when I was writing his part.

Yeah, he does have horror villian vibes both in the source material and his appearance in the Interlude. Hearing him speak with the aura of a loved one which fools your mind into thinking he is that loved one, until you know instictively that he isn't. And once the illusion is broken, his aura changes into a malicious, evil entity that wants nothing more than to tear his target to shreds.

The fact that you caught onto it being BBW, more specifically. I very intentionally avoided certain words when describing him. He came out feeling quite a bit like a villain from a horror movie, actually. It was a pretty cool thing to realize as I was writing him, the horrific implications of how he worked.

I assume you're talking about Puss's and BBW's origin, wondering if we'll catch it. It took me a bit, but a quick google search points out where they're coming from. Or rather, who summoned them, considering he wrote the more popular versions of their fairy tales.
