So What’s The Deal With Coldies Frozen Custard In Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen?

Right from the start of Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, the show establishes a creepy local legend. The town where Nicky’s family has a cabin used to be known for this amazing frozen custard place called Coldies, but it’s long gone now. Turns out the owner, Larry Poole, was a serial killer – he murdered three women. Nicky tries to give Rachel some context by having her listen to a podcast featuring a woman who survived an encounter with Poole. This woman recounts a chilling detail: while held captive in his car, she spotted a Barbie shoe and desperately tried to connect with Poole by mentioning her own daughter, hoping to appeal to his humanity. Sadly, it didn’t work, and he just left her on the side of the road with a slashed throat. It’s a genuinely disturbing detail that really sets the tone for what’s to come.
