1. There were pictures on the walls containing both their grandparents, and these wackos. Also, when the wackpa comes down to the basement, he said the grandparents talked about the kids, so they were friends of some sort. Probably patients that the grandparents were caring for (I just thought of this now, glad I started typing).
2. I don't know what you mean by "scuttlebutt", I think the grandparents just worked there/ volunteered there.
3. It's very possible that they did, because people had just started showing up to the house to check on them. They missed their weekly volunteering on Saturday, so they likely were there the previous Saturday (actually makes it more sad now when I think about it).
4. I think their behaviour was pretty messed from the start, the final night they were up later and they decided to send them to the alien planet so they didn't really care to hide anything anymore. Besides the last day, I'd say they were pretty consistent with creepyness (the last day was creepier, not less creepy--just to be clear).
5. I think it's just showing that they got some crazy problems, he can't even hold his bowels. I think that's there to push the fact that they were likely patients. Making you think about the real grandparents helping these wackos through their insanity, changing their diapers, etc. Then one day they stay up past 9:30 or some shit and they're done for.
6. Good questions, pondering them made me think of a couple pieces I missed initially.
