- A growing fan theory maps the Talisman markings onto Norse runes, suggesting the monsters and the town's trap have pre-Christian mythological roots.
- Norse rune systems carried protective and binding meanings — which would align with how the Talismans seem to ward off the creatures in the show.
- The theory remains unconfirmed, but the rune connection is specific enough that it has gained serious traction among the fan community.
