Why did the pinball guy...
... carve the house number on one of the guy's arm he beat up?
Also, why did the police bring him to that house when he's also one of the murder victim?
Is he The Grabber's son?
He carved the house number into the arm in the daughter's vision in an attempt to tell her where he and the other boys were buried. He was also brought to the house in the daughter's vision. All done to try to show her where the murders happened and where the bodies were buried (and it worked). That whole segment with the pinball kid was in her vision.
shareYep.
shareI see. I thought it was really happened in the past, just with Gwen inside it / reliving. If it was all a vision then it makes sense. However, wasn't that the wrong house... not the one where Finn was held captive? Why not tell her the other house?
shareYeah, Gwen's appearance there showed that the whole scene, like all the other flashbacks we saw, were just disjointed visions in her dreams.
The fact that they didn't use the grain/film filter until the end was just a trick to the audience.
Like her other visions (or the ghosts themselves), like in most horror movies, they're not able to convey things as clearly as they would want. For a practical handcanon reason...it's possible pinball kid just didn't know the right house. He looked out the window and saw the address of the opposite side; that's the housefront the sister got to see.

That's a really good explanation! share
a really great element.
