My prediction is that Fatima will either kill herself or will be killed by one of the others (at her own will) to prevent her from fully becoming a monster. Because once she is a monster she'll be immortal.

After she died then the golem she built will become alive because thats what her hope was. It will protect the townspeople/colony house.

Now that you’ve seen episode 5 do you think the monsters in the night are a product of someone’s fear (maybe Victor's?) or do you think they’ve been there from the start?

idk if this has been mentioned before but I think that MIY used to be a priest/pastor that turned to evil or witchcraft or at least disguised himself as one when he came to the original townsfolk. He probably tried to convince them to sacrifice their children just like in the story of Abraham and told them it was an act to prove their obedience to God and promised them that in return they would be saved/receive eternal life. That’s why Sophia is able to show off as deeply religious and quotes stories from the Bible a lot (including the binding of Isaac).
