The lore behind the hooks?

[Inflictor]

Just saw the gameplay videos today and just wanted to know what's this entity and what's the lore behind all the hooks and stuff and why would the killers want to sacrifice the survivors anyway?

Got this entire train of thought in my head and it'd be fantastic to have them answered. Cheers!

Step 1. Be survivor
Step 2. Find killer
Step 3. Ask him "Y u do dis?"
Step 4. ????? through the woods
Step 5. Hooked, firsthand experience

Probably a reference or something to do with a H. P. Lovecraft story?

Developers said something in stream about a spider entity, o spider thing.
But dunno more.

Because Movie.

But seriously now, devs said they want community to uncover these type of things by themselves.
They will provide some biographies and stories which can help a bit in doing so.
However it won't be on a silver plate ;)

When the killer hooks you, there's some kind of spidery looking creature that slowly (or not so slowly if you try to escape and fail) wraps its black leathery finger-legs around you and pulls you up into some kind of black vortex. I believe this is where the Entity resides and that the spider (just like the killer) is only doing its dark and twisted biding.

The hooks where once part of his beloved snarly old hag grandma 's cooking pot.
After grannies sad and untimely demise which ties itself closely to her banking her whole lifestyle around her local grocery and knitting store .... that went downhill when more and more tourists arrived to witness an original hillbilly valley with weird inhabitants in their freetime who brought the capitalism and supermarkets along with them.
Granny drowned her anger about ppl that live bland lifes without prober herb usage together with her life inside said cooking pot when even hillbillybob the neighboor degenerate started to buy packaged food instead of grannies slimmysnaillunch of the day, which she used to wraped carefully inside something green she happends to find around the shack the other day.

Killer found her, burned his skin trying to get her out...but it was to late for granny... Consumed by his rage and anger he melted her most iconic possession, her cooking pot down into the hooks as we know them today, swearing an oath to use them to bring the city folks pain like she felt when they riped her life apart as he will rip them.
Soon he pledged his soul to the old beeing which resides in the bloodweb his granny used to recite stories for the townfolk to gain the power needed to reap the waves of urbandwellers coming to steal his family way with their "holidays".

So granny is the entity?
So ... maybe her granddaughter will be the female killer? We all know that we need a female killer for equality and such

When you get hooked a spider creature seems to take your soul so i would say its a sacrafical ritual

[HighPlains Drifter]

It's a meat-hook. Traditional way to hang large pieces of animal meat. The lore, is that slashers have been using meat-hooks since hot chicks in bikini's started dying at summer camps....

The meat-hook it'self is consequential... Don't focus on the meat-hook... The closer you look at the meat-hook, the more the meat-hook looks at you... Ignore the meat-hook !

Everything has to do with the Bloodweb

Everyone is entangled in the Bloodweb, Killer and Survivors.
Everyone seek the Power in it
Killer dont want to share it, so he kills Survivors as a Sacrifice to obtain more Poser from the Bloodweb :)

Seems legit
