The tool shed is located in the backyard of the Fitzgerald residence and was where Trina Sinclair was buried. The Fitzgerald sisters used the tool shed often for sister meetings, and Brigitte used it often for independent study.
History[]
The Fitzgerald sisters used the tool shed as an outdoor playhouse when they were younger. When the sisters were little, Ginger made Brigitte eat earthworms before allowing her to enter. Their mother used to participate in their activities.
On October 6[1] Brigitte was in the shed doing lycanthropy studies. On the evening of October 24[2], the sisters burry Trina inside. On Halloween, Pamela discovers her corpse after digging inside the shed.
Significance[]
The tool shed symbolizes the state of the relationship between the Fitzgerald sisters. In their childhood, this was the place where both spent their time together, also with their mother. But already at that time, Ginger took advantage of Brigitte and displayed her dominance over her by forcing her to eat worms to enter the shed. During their school project, the shed is still a place where both express their creativity. But after their falling-out following Ginger's starting lycanthropy and sexual awakening, Brigitte studies in the tool shed by herself, looking at books about werewolves and folk treatment. After Ginger becomes increasingly unstable and erratic, resulting in Trina's death, this once cherished location becomes a hiding place for their gruesome secret and is now teinted and off-limits. Another cherished location is the sister's basement bedroom.
The shed in the movie[]
The former playhouse is first seen in the opening credits sequence as a backdrop for the tea party suicide photoshoot. But it already played a role earlier in the movie. When Brigitte was taking photos of Ginger impaled on the picket fence, she's actually sitting on the shed's roof. The next time we see it is when Brigitte begins her lycanthropy studies inside on October 6.
The interior contains a child-sized small table and two chairs. It's decorated with beaded strings hanging from the ceiling. The windows are covered with wooden louvers. When the sisters bury Trina's corpse we see that the floor is usually covered with a thick burlap carpet that could easily be moved away to dig away the soil directly beneath it.
In the shed's final appearance Pamela discovers Trina's body on Halloween. There was a deleted scene where she sits in the shed later that evening and reminisces about the past.
Apocrypha[]
According to Brigitte's Diary, Ginger still remembered Henry building the shed.
