In the final scene where the father gives himself up and walks into the red room, Carla's eyes look like she is either frightened or surprised, or it was just the way her eyes looked with that lighting. It caught my attention though!
that scene when nell falls hanging and you can see all the scenes of the bent neck lady from her perspective. it really blew me away. what a wonderfully thought out plot twist!
I've watched countless videos of people spotting hidden details from this show, and I've never seen anyone pick up on the ghost moving Olivia's hair, it literally blew my mind!!
This was the only show in recent years to legit give me the creeps. This and Hereditary were the stars of 2018 Horror genre. Also, best analytical channel on TH-cam hands down!
Thank you Andy! Much appreciated and agreed about that and Hereditary, finally felt like the year we moved away from cheap jumpscares and went back to actual horror
Gosh, how I miss this. I was so heavily invested with all the characters, cried through the entire show despite the horror themes lol looking forward for season 2
Yeah, the mold *could* have been causing all of this... but what caused the mold? They never found a source for it. There were no pipes near that room. To me, the mold wasn't mold, it was the house. Chicken before the egg.
Abigail's death and the Dudleys convincing Hugh to keep the house so they can see their daughter had me in tears!! Dudleys and Abigail didn't deserve that!
Henry Cook And how they all see ghost Nell in the last outfit she was wearing for them! I REALLY want the DVD for the commentary and behind the scenes! Heavy Spoilers should make that a giveaway!😊
This is, by far, one of Mike Flanagan's best work to date from both storytellings to creative directions. Adapting from Shirley Jackson's work about a group of strangers trying to stay as long as they can in a haunted house made it into a personal family drama with the spectral as an added bonus was superbly crafted. Not only were the casts perfect, but Mike Flanagan also managed to experiment with different techniques that gelled well together-from Bent-neck lady twist to the one continuous shot in episode six. As a television series, this is among the top tier out there.
Heavy Spoilers it was when Steve was showing the vanity to Mrs. Dudley. She pulls out the picture of Poppy and shares her story. What I’m curious about, is when Poppy is telling Liv about her children dying. Do you think she killed them?
@@muellerphyllis Yeah Poppy killed her children... That's why she later encourages Olivia to kill her children too in order to wake them from the "screaming meemies"(bad dreams)... But what about the poem that Poppy's ghost narrates to Hugh outside the red room about the Grattan family ?? Can you tell that ?
3:20 it didn't disappear, it's sitting in the chair at that table. Since the show is an anthology, Season 2 will be a new story with the same actors playing new characters just like American Horror Story.
Ever since I’ve found heavy spoilers I’ve had the best time ever. You explain things very well and make everything very easy to understand. Thank you very much 😄
this show hit me deep. i loved the show! i loved how everything aligned itself, like all the little pieces fell where they were supposed to at the end. i love it.
what if it was Mold..... The dad kept trying to fix mold in the basement of the house that was running down from somewhere what if the whole house had mold areas. The worst was the room with the red door because if anyone remembers, that room looked to be filled with mold on the walls. I watching an episode of Forensic Files several years back about a couple who either built or moved into a huge house. They were completely healthy before moving in, but after living there for a little bit they all started to become very ill. The son developed respiratory and ended up with mental heath problems, the father developed horrible memory problems where he couldn't even remember his wife or son, and the wife had some serious issues like coughing up blood. On one of those occasions where the wife was coughing up blood she was sitting next to a stranger on an air plane and he just so happened to be some mold specialist that owned his own company on removing it or whatever. And he asked if she was ok, and she just shrugs it off and starts telling him all of the issues her and her family has been having since they moved into their home, and he tells her well let me look at your house and I'll tell you if there's a problem or not. So the mold guy ends up inspecting the house and find this rare type of deadly mold that exposed to can cause serious health problems and eventually death if you were exposed to it unprotected continuously growing inside of the walls of the home. And the mold spread very rapidly so they couldn't take clothes pictures or anything because anything they took from the house was contaminated air born whys from this mold. So they had to leave everything they owned, in the moldy house because it could cause it to grow somewhere else that they lived, it was that crazy. So I'm thinking that the mold just drove everyone crazy for generations in Hill House. Because to me it kinda makes sense, it made everyone hallucinate and eventually drove everyone bat shit crazy because mold is not really something to turn a blind eye to or to let fester. But I know Hill house is based on a book so. lol But I just think it's just an interesting theory. MOLD!! THE SILENT OR UNFORESEEN KILLER!!!
My issue with the mold theory lies in three things. For one, Poppy Hill was insane before she stepped into the house. Two, the Dudleys. Like stated, they've been working for the Hills for years upon years, they would've been exposed to it for far longer than the Craines and it was only later in life that they stopped staying at the house around the clock. If the black mold is supposedly the cause for all the residents' mental and physical ailments, then the Dudleys would've caught a big brunt of it, and yet we have no indication of any physical or mental illnesses from them other than the one incident of Mrs. Dudley losing her baby and hearing it's cries only late at night. And three, probably most importantly, has to do with the show's themes of trauma. The black mold is an awfully convenient excuse to explain away all the residents' traumas in the house, and I believe this is done 100% intentionally. Blaming everything that happened in Hill House on mold or mental illness, as Steve does, causes the family to ostracize Nell and Luke who took the brunt of what happened in Hill House. They constantly deny their experiences, and it eventually causes them both severe depression. There's a recurring element in Nell's (and slightly less in Luke's) about how nobody ever believes them. It even shows up in Nell's final hallucination with her family saying they've always believed her, and again during the storm (in one of THE most powerful scenes in the show and tragically underrated, imo) when young Nell said "I was right here and no one could see me," as the camera shifts to her ghost. This denial to believe her trauma causes the other three to see Nell as crazy and is part of the reason her calls in the beginning were ignored. The mold also stands as yet another thing that protects Hill House. Not only does it put the blame elsewhere, but it's conveniently and suddenly found only by hearing knocking in the wall, which keeps the family there far longer than intended. (Also, there's all the hidden ghost that can be seen throughout the series that none of the characters in the show see.) ((Sorry for the length.))
In the first episode at the very beginning when the voiceover is happening and they're panning through the house, there is a man underneath the stairs. He has a white face and is super obvious however it took 3 watches for me to catch him.
Well done brother. Mike Flannigan is a beast and I thought he did a tremendous job with “ Doctor Sleep”. He’s still show runner for season two and I’m hoping he’s directing every episode like season one.
Yeah he’s great, doctor Sleep is so good. I listened to his interview with Michael Rosenbaum and he says he’s not directing every episode but will still be involved massively
i don’t remember which episode (i think two storms) but when Liv is going through the centre part of the second floor area the Hills stand in front of the windoe
I am not a fan of the horror genre but this series took me by storm. Definitely one of my favs of all time. It's unfortunate that it's an anthology series so we won't be seeing the Crains again. Bly Manor has big shoes to fill.
Its cheesey, but this show really is haunting. It stays with you. I've watched it several times and have the soundtrack downloaded. Cant wait for the next chapter
KUDOS on Olivia's hair... I am on my second run of the show and can make out most of the background ghosts but I never suspected the hair. Good job my friend.
In the episode where Hugh is removing the mold and you pointed out the long haired woman, there's actually another ghost, in a different frame, within seconds of that shot. I remember because when my sister was watching it with me we both shouted "Did you see that???" And then we both pointed to two different shots.
When the ghost of Nell shoots forward from the rear of the car to scream "STOP" whilst the other sisters squabble, well me and the missus lost our collective sh*t. Ha ha! Surprised the kids didn't wake up. Basically we enjoyed it despite how daft it was.
Heavy Spoilers Are you following Mike Flanagan on Twitter? He has made it very clear he’s done with the Crain family! Similar to AHS some of the same cast is returning under new roles. He is taking other works from Henry James and infusing them with the setting from (the over done) Turn of the Screw. In Flanagan I trust! He has a new series coming out on Netflix after Haunting as well!
outcastkatsuki Yes, sorry I suppose I didn’t specifically say this. More importantly he is taking other works and infusing them. Similar to the way Hill House was far from a typical adaptation, but this goes by James other work not over adapted to screen! Should be good! 👍
More Ghosts, that I can recall, offhand!: (just looked on Netflix to check the time stamps) Episode 1: 00:51...ghost looking up between the stair’s banister. 06:27...bent-neck lady, beside Nell’s bed. Episode 2: 18:25....blonde girl ghost in dining room, off of kitchen. Episode 4: 13:18...ghost on the other side of the kitchen’s glass partition/wall while twins talk about the dumbwaiter Episode 7: 38:18...After the father tries to pry the red door open, open, he falls to the floor. When he stands up, you can see, behind him, a ghost standing beyond the doorway to the left. * **when the dad chisels/removes the brick in the basement: 49:01...girl peering around corner, watching 49:34...she’s peering over a free-standing storage shelf (so creepy) 49:43...(the time you mentioned) she’s a little closer/clearer peering around the corner again Episode 9: 00:22...ghost standing outside, looking through a window on right
I LOVED this show! Watched it twice. Super creepy and a great story. I love the way they go back and forth with the time periods. Just makes it more interesting and scary.
Great analysis! Even with watching for these, I missed half of them! There's (at least) two other parts in the show that give me the creeps after watching/serve as some haunting foreshadowing - one is when they are opening the boxes in the library (right after Olivia gives Luke the bowler hat) and she finds the black rose shawl. She goes into that monologue about how the room can look and mentions that there will be shelves on the floor so that the boy in the wheelchair can reach them. And then later during the storm she opens the room to his ghost! Two Storms is one of the more eerie episodes, but that really creeped me out when I connected it. And then secondly, in some what I can only assume is intentional blocking to foreshadow it, but at Arthur and Nell's wedding, when she goes to kiss him after dancing, she cranes her neck at a very strange angle to reach him, and as soon as I saw that I went "OH NO" but the full reveal at the end of the episode wasn't any less gut-wrenching. Mike Flanagan masterfully directed this show. So haunting!
Brilliant post. I have no idea how you caught all of those details. I know horror movie science is different from real life; however, black mold usually makes people physically sick, often with a respiratory illness. Mold doesn't leave people feeling perfectly healthy, but mad as March hares.
when steve is in his fans house setting up the heat camera u can see for a second that it turns bright red where it is pointed indicating that the husband of the victim would be there
I love that Steve the nonbeliever had saw the clock repair man ghost and he’s the most vivid, tangible vision of any of the other house ghosts that any of the siblings see second only to Olivia and Nell
7:03 That was literally the only "hidden" ghost that I spotted while watching the show, without making a conscious effort to search for the hidden ghosts
This is either my second or third favorite show ever. Nothing will ever dethrone Buffy as #1 just because of how much it influenced who I became. I flip flop between Hill House and Game of Thrones for #2 and #3. I adore Game of Thrones because it introduced me to the ASOIAF world, which I’m now obsessed with, but Hill House undoubtedly has a more satisfying and resolved ending. I love everything about it.
here i was thinking one of my favorite shows went underappreciated... videos and comment sections like these restore my hope that there are plenty others who appreciate the genius behind the haunting of hill house!
When they started to reveal the truth behind the Bent Neck Lady, I caught on after the first scene change, and I was literally saying "No no no no no" because I knew she was going to end up at the foot of her own bed. Great twist, but just a gut-punch as well.
I def caught the 1st ghost when the dad picked up his son I thought my eyes were playing tricks new subbie great video also Nell n the ghost which was her seeing herself n my Kevin Hart voice noooo I wasn't readyyy😳😳😂
Mike Flannigan is just amazing, I love all his shows, I love how he uses mostly the same actors, he just knows how to give you that creepy haunting feeling. the Haunting of Hill House is my favourite of all of his work up till now tho. Thanks for the video.❤
Rewatched it for a second time, god damn this show is intense and hits me right in the feels. I got to understand it alot more watching it a second time, how ever i still miss out on the hidden placed ghosts, aside from maybe 2-3 lol
This is also one of my all-time favs, at least top 3 if not absolute winner. I also think it’s Flannagan’s Magnum Opus. I really, really love Midnight Mass as well, but the level of detail and craftmanship in this one, the care taken with themes and symbolism is pretty much unmatched in my eyes. Just an absolute great show that shows off what an amazing horror drama series can be.
I never noticed anything except Liv's hair but I think the hidden ghosts definitely made a subconscious impact. I slept with the lights on for at least a week after watching the show. I'm in my fifties and haven't needed the light on for 50 years.
i found myself laughing alot when i got scared, i think it’s because im new to horror so i find it funny when i get scared. one moment that sticks out is when luke was found by the bowler hat man (terrifying btw) and instead of screaming like ‘ahhhhh’ it was more like ‘reeeeeeeeee’ and i couldn’t help but giggle
In episode 1, at about the 51:45 mark, Luke is in the treehouse and Steve enters, and we see that the outward facing side of the treehouse door is red.
Around 3:20 you're talking about the gost in the dining room, that disapear in the next shot. She is actually not disappearing but sitting around the table... Creepy
You're seeing things that I'm not seeing. Some of them are a trick of the light. I think you might've made a few up lol. Still a great video & I really enjoyed watching this. 😇
I know you were pointing out hidden ghosts but since you mentioned some that were in plain sight, you missed the little boy in the wheelchair that appears when Olivia is looking around the house.
It took me 5 rounds of watching the show and 2 of this video to notice the ghost behind Liv in the dining room in episode 2 doesn't disappear but instead sits at the table in the follow up shot! God I love this show!
I rewatched The Fall of the House of Usher to try to see some of these hidden ghosts, but it’s so dark! I can’t see anything in the background. Can you do this for that show??
This is a really great expo on the ghosts but I am currently obsessed with the idea that some of these are just oopsie extras in the back that accidentally got in the shot haha.
I just wish the hidden ghosts weren't blurry. Have them in a reflection, shadows, under pianos, at the back of scenes - cool. But when they're blurred what's the point? You aren't going to look back and think WOAH I can't believe I missed that, you're going to think, wow that smudge was supposed to be scary?
I think it's supposed to be a subliminal technique; your brain picks up theres a shape there, but it's too blurry or unclear to bother fully focusing on unless you know what you're looking for. But just noticing the vague person-shaped shadowy shapes creates an unconscious atmosphere of unease.
@@crowspirit5154 yeah the movie IT did this as well. There were often things in the background that you would only notice on a subconscious level unless you were looking for it. It was meant to create a sense of persistent unease instead of relying on jumpscares and the like.
It makes the audience sense that the Crains are being watched, subconsciously. Humans are very good at sensing when they’re being looked at, like when you feel somebody looking at you from behind when rip-off you can’t see if
How the actual fuck did I miss so many of these ghosts!?! I did see Olivia's hair moving, and the car scene wrecked me and my cousin at 230am, sorry neighbors lmao. Surprised you didn't talk about that one. Great vid tho
Multiple people experienced the same exact hallucination... such as the banging or the clock repair guy or the mom crawling towards them or the car scene. That can't be naturalistically explained by black mold. Also, theo's sixth sense isn't possible to explain naturalistically. There are undeniable supernatural occurrences in the show. On the other hand, the show presents thought and memory in a way that seems like a hallucination. So this blurring between reality and fantasy is what makes it so hard to understand what precisely is going on in each scene.
Pretty sure Luke was feeling cold and stiff because of his shared empathy. The whole family felt the noose around Nell's throat, but only he felt her rotting.
The hidden ghosts give me the creeps something fierce, but the scariest for me was the white one in the basement while Hugh found the body. That made all the hair on my body stand up.

what if it was Mold.....
The dad kept trying to fix mold in the basement of the house that was running down from somewhere what if the whole house had mold areas. The worst was the room with the red door because if anyone remembers, that room looked to be filled with mold on the walls.
I watching an episode of Forensic Files several years back about a couple who either built or moved into a huge house. They were completely healthy before moving in, but after living there for a little bit they all started to become very ill. The son developed respiratory and ended up with mental heath problems, the father developed horrible memory problems where he couldn't even remember his wife or son, and the wife had some serious issues like coughing up blood.
On one of those occasions where the wife was coughing up blood she was sitting next to a stranger on an air plane and he just so happened to be some mold specialist that owned his own company on removing it or whatever. And he asked if she was ok, and she just shrugs it off and starts telling him all of the issues her and her family has been having since they moved into their home, and he tells her well let me look at your house and I'll tell you if there's a problem or not.
So the mold guy ends up inspecting the house and find this rare type of deadly mold that exposed to can cause serious health problems and eventually death if you were exposed to it unprotected continuously growing inside of the walls of the home.

But I know Hill house is based on a book so. lol But I just think it's just an interesting theory.

Yeah definitely could be, can do such bad things specially if you’re with it 24/7 like the crains were

KUDOS on Olivia's hair... I am on my second run of the show and can make out most of the background ghosts but I never suspected the hair. Good job my friend.
In the episode where Hugh is removing the mold and you pointed out the long haired woman, there's actually another ghost, in a different frame, within seconds of that shot. I remember because when my sister was watching it with me we both shouted "Did you see that???" And then we both pointed to two different shots.
Olivia’s robe changes from blue to red (red being the “ghost” Olivia and probably also to do with the red room)
I watch horror all the time. But the Tall dude with the cane freaked me the f out
I just miss this series so much. I'm here 5 years later still intrigued
When the ghost of Nell shoots forward from the rear of the car to scream "STOP" whilst the other sisters squabble, well me and the missus lost our collective sh*t. Ha ha! Surprised the kids didn't wake up. Basically we enjoyed it despite how daft it was.
Same! Can not wait for the Haunting of Bly Manor!
Yeah kinda hope they take a new family. Rumours are it’s the Crains but I just don’t see how they can top this.
Heavy Spoilers Are you following Mike Flanagan on Twitter? He has made it very clear he’s done with the Crain family! Similar to AHS some of the same cast is returning under new roles. He is taking other works from Henry James and infusing them with the setting from (the over done) Turn of the Screw. In Flanagan I trust! He has a new series coming out on Netflix after Haunting as well!
outcastkatsuki Yes, sorry I suppose I didn’t specifically say this. More importantly he is taking other works and infusing them. Similar to the way Hill House was far from a typical adaptation, but this goes by James other work not over adapted to screen! Should be good! 👍
More Ghosts, that I can recall, offhand!: (just looked on Netflix to check the time stamps)
Episode 1:
00:51...ghost looking up between the stair’s banister.
06:27...bent-neck lady, beside Nell’s bed.
Episode 2:
18:25....blonde girl ghost in dining room, off of kitchen.
Episode 4:
13:18...ghost on the other side of the kitchen’s glass partition/wall while twins talk about the dumbwaiter
Episode 7:
38:18...After the father tries to pry the red door open, open, he falls to the floor. When he stands up, you can see, behind him, a ghost standing beyond the doorway to the left.
* **when the dad chisels/removes the brick in the basement:
49:01...girl peering around corner, watching
49:34...she’s peering over a free-standing storage shelf (so creepy)
49:43...(the time you mentioned) she’s a little closer/clearer peering around the corner again
Episode 9:
00:22...ghost standing outside, looking through a window on right
DUDE I LOVE YOU, 6:11 I noticed my first time watching and was waiting for someone to notice it, you really are good 😂
The dude on the stairs with the clock... Was the only one I ever noticed all season. I was like that guy was wearing really old clothes?
I LOVED this show! Watched it twice. Super creepy and a great story. I love the way they go back and forth with the time periods. Just makes it more interesting and scary.
Great analysis! Even with watching for these, I missed half of them!
There's (at least) two other parts in the show that give me the creeps after watching/serve as some haunting foreshadowing - one is when they are opening the boxes in the library (right after Olivia gives Luke the bowler hat) and she finds the black rose shawl. She goes into that monologue about how the room can look and mentions that there will be shelves on the floor so that the boy in the wheelchair can reach them. And then later during the storm she opens the room to his ghost! Two Storms is one of the more eerie episodes, but that really creeped me out when I connected it.
And then secondly, in some what I can only assume is intentional blocking to foreshadow it, but at Arthur and Nell's wedding, when she goes to kiss him after dancing, she cranes her neck at a very strange angle to reach him, and as soon as I saw that I went "OH NO" but the full reveal at the end of the episode wasn't any less gut-wrenching. Mike Flanagan masterfully directed this show. So haunting!
i missed almost all the ghosts...but now noticing in ur video give me chills
This was awesome! Thanks for the breakdown, I really appreciated it.
Brilliant post. I have no idea how you caught all of those details. I know horror movie science is different from real life; however, black mold usually makes people physically sick, often with a respiratory illness. Mold doesn't leave people feeling perfectly healthy, but mad as March hares.
Greatest Breakdown of All Time Bro ✅
Ey thank you for the kind words! Have a great weekend
when steve is in his fans house setting up the heat camera u can see for a second that it turns bright red where it is pointed indicating that the husband of the victim would be there
11:28 LMFAO
I love that Steve the nonbeliever had saw the clock repair man ghost and he’s the most vivid, tangible vision of any of the other house ghosts that any of the siblings see second only to Olivia and Nell
I cant believe how many i missed. Very sneaky and well done by them
I liked how black mold acted as the homes cancer likeness.
The mold could be made by the house to "season" its prey to make its meal fuller,
7:03 That was literally the only "hidden" ghost that I spotted while watching the show, without making a conscious effort to search for the hidden ghosts
@11:04 it's not the netting on the tree house, it's the door when Steve opened it which is red.
This is either my second or third favorite show ever. Nothing will ever dethrone Buffy as #1 just because of how much it influenced who I became. I flip flop between Hill House and Game of Thrones for #2 and #3. I adore Game of Thrones because it introduced me to the ASOIAF world, which I’m now obsessed with, but Hill House undoubtedly has a more satisfying and resolved ending. I love everything about it.
I loved this Show. Thank you for breaking it down . Excellent job.
here i was thinking one of my favorite shows went underappreciated... videos and comment sections like these restore my hope that there are plenty others who appreciate the genius behind the haunting of hill house!
I absolutely loved this show and I’m very excited for the next season
When they started to reveal the truth behind the Bent Neck Lady, I caught on after the first scene change, and I was literally saying "No no no no no" because I knew she was going to end up at the foot of her own bed. Great twist, but just a gut-punch as well.
Is this long enough ago for Paul to do a classic review of this banger of a show
Only just watched this, might be the best tv I've ever seen
Missed this one
👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻
I def caught the 1st ghost when the dad picked up his son I thought my eyes were playing tricks new subbie great video also Nell n the ghost which was her seeing herself n my Kevin Hart voice noooo I wasn't readyyy😳😳😂
@Heavy Spoilers , could you do a review on the 2019 horror/thriller “I See You” I would I like to hear your thoughts and in depth review on the movie!
Yeah I’ll try check it out, thanks for the recommendation
Mike Flannigan is just amazing, I love all his shows, I love how he uses mostly the same actors, he just knows how to give you that creepy haunting feeling. the Haunting of Hill House is my favourite of all of his work up till now tho. Thanks for the video.❤
Rewatched it for a second time, god damn this show is intense and hits me right in the feels.
I got to understand it alot more watching it a second time, how ever i still miss out on the hidden placed ghosts, aside from maybe 2-3 lol
Thanks. This was neat
What about at the very end in the last shots, where Luke's 2 days sober cake is iced the same red as the red room?
I'm sure there's another ghost right at the begining that you can see behind Hugh's shoulder when he's calming Nell
This is also one of my all-time favs, at least top 3 if not absolute winner. I also think it’s Flannagan’s Magnum Opus. I really, really love Midnight Mass as well, but the level of detail and craftmanship in this one, the care taken with themes and symbolism is pretty much unmatched in my eyes.
Just an absolute great show that shows off what an amazing horror drama series can be.
Awesome video Sir 😎♥️👌
Thanks Rohit
7:23 it’s also the same hotel room Hugh took the kids to after the storm.
I never noticed anything except Liv's hair but I think the hidden ghosts definitely made a subconscious impact. I slept with the lights on for at least a week after watching the show. I'm in my fifties and haven't needed the light on for 50 years.
i found myself laughing alot when i got scared, i think it’s because im new to horror so i find it funny when i get scared. one moment that sticks out is when luke was found by the bowler hat man (terrifying btw) and instead of screaming like ‘ahhhhh’ it was more like ‘reeeeeeeeee’ and i couldn’t help but giggle
Bruh, are you CIA? You do some great investigations
Haha thank you
In episode 1, at about the 51:45 mark, Luke is in the treehouse and Steve enters, and we see that the outward facing side of the treehouse door is red.
Around 3:20 you're talking about the gost in the dining room, that disapear in the next shot. She is actually not disappearing but sitting around the table... Creepy
I remember seeing Liv's hair fall strangely off the bed and just thinking "Dang, her hair is damaged AF" but good job putting 2 and 2 together lol
You're seeing things that I'm not seeing. Some of them are a trick of the light. I think you might've made a few up lol. Still a great video & I really enjoyed watching this. 😇
I know you were pointing out hidden ghosts but since you mentioned some that were in plain sight, you missed the little boy in the wheelchair that appears when Olivia is looking around the house.
Honestly that hair thing with Liv freaked me out the most of anything
At 3:24 it looks like the ghost that was standing there is now sitting at the table. Am I just seeing that or do other people see it too?
It took me 5 rounds of watching the show and 2 of this video to notice the ghost behind Liv in the dining room in episode 2 doesn't disappear but instead sits at the table in the follow up shot! God I love this show!
Dang ya'll need the ghost busters on speed dial
I rewatched The Fall of the House of Usher to try to see some of these hidden ghosts, but it’s so dark! I can’t see anything in the background. Can you do this for that show??
No matter what you're told, we have to clean the mold
This is a really great expo on the ghosts but I am currently obsessed with the idea that some of these are just oopsie extras in the back that accidentally got in the shot haha.
Those are no ghosts, those are shooting crew members failing to hide on "action!" command.
Imagine if all of these ghosts are just crew not getting out of the way of shots haha.
I just wish the hidden ghosts weren't blurry. Have them in a reflection, shadows, under pianos, at the back of scenes - cool. But when they're blurred what's the point? You aren't going to look back and think WOAH I can't believe I missed that, you're going to think, wow that smudge was supposed to be scary?
Yeah me too, a lot of them don’t have the full creep factor because of it
I think it's supposed to be a subliminal technique; your brain picks up theres a shape there, but it's too blurry or unclear to bother fully focusing on unless you know what you're looking for. But just noticing the vague person-shaped shadowy shapes creates an unconscious atmosphere of unease.
@@crowspirit5154 yeah the movie IT did this as well. There were often things in the background that you would only notice on a subconscious level unless you were looking for it. It was meant to create a sense of persistent unease instead of relying on jumpscares and the like.
It makes the audience sense that the Crains are being watched, subconsciously. Humans are very good at sensing when they’re being looked at, like when you feel somebody looking at you from behind when rip-off you can’t see if
How the actual fuck did I miss so many of these ghosts!?! I did see Olivia's hair moving, and the car scene wrecked me and my cousin at 230am, sorry neighbors lmao. Surprised you didn't talk about that one. Great vid tho
Multiple people experienced the same exact hallucination... such as the banging or the clock repair guy or the mom crawling towards them or the car scene. That can't be naturalistically explained by black mold. Also, theo's sixth sense isn't possible to explain naturalistically. There are undeniable supernatural occurrences in the show. On the other hand, the show presents thought and memory in a way that seems like a hallucination. So this blurring between reality and fantasy is what makes it so hard to understand what precisely is going on in each scene.
Pretty sure Luke was feeling cold and stiff because of his shared empathy. The whole family felt the noose around Nell's throat, but only he felt her rotting.
I loved this series so much I have watched it twice. I cannot wait for season 2!
The hidden ghosts give me the creeps something fierce, but the scariest for me was the white one in the basement while Hugh found the body. That made all the hair on my body stand up.
much better than that other video that makes a stupid sound at every hidden ghost
Cheers
let me explain....
