If you ask me, Ethel Muggs is a red herring, but we still have to discuss her as a possibility. The problem with Ethel is that she's so obvious. Ethel clearly wanted to play Carrie, and the Black Hood demands Carrie be recast. And yes, there are the magazine clippings in her trash. But would Ethel really kill Midge over something so simple? And would she really be such an obvious suspect if she was the real Black Hood?
There's a more important reason why she's on this list, though. We all know how hard things have been for the Muggs family. They lost everything because of the Lodges. Is it possible Ethel is working with her father to get revenge on everyone? Now that's a fun twist I'm more inclined to believe.
