The Second Season of Locke & Key offers the premiere of The Splattering at the local theater as the Locke children continue to use the various keys they’ve found, their mother (Darby Stanchfield) continues to be oblivious to the magic of the house, the police continue to search for the missing Ellie, and Dodge (Griffin Gluck/Laysla De Oliveira) and an out-of-control Eden (Hallea Jones) turn one of the unused bullets from the Black Door into the Demon Key. The movie is a hit with the locals, and also for Scot (Petrice Jones) who returns with news about an overseas school offering him a spot leading to mixed feeling for Kinsey (Emilia Jones), even without knowing her current boyfriend is a deranged killer.
