when yall finish the series you have to watch on yt all the ghosts that you missed throughout the show its insane how many ghosts are in the background and i dont think yall have noticed any so far
When I was much younger, I definitely remember the first season of Supernatural having some very scary stuff like asylum or something, but if I would watch it now, I don't know if it would hold up. Xfiles the same, don't remember the episode name but they were in a forest and there were cocoons with dead people in them. As it stands, I think THOHH is a horror TV show perfection. Since I saw it, it has not been topped by anything else for me and I am a horror genre lover. THE jump scare gave me a heart attack and made me shiver for many minutes. I hope something like this comes around again.
hugh's lines "no no, not him, the man repairing the clock" and "i never built you kids a treehouse"! two record scratch moments back to back, LOVE them
And usually you'd be like how did he remember an insignificant detail like one repair guy but then he wrote an entire book about it. Probably tried his best to remember what he could to his best and then some while writing it all down.
"I was born 90 seconds before Nell, but she was always my big sister." is such a great line and it gets me every time. Similarly, Mr. Dudley's monologue about the house and its effect on his family is one of my favorite scenes in the entire series. The writing in this show is just so good.
even in death nellie tried so hard to get their attention and get them to stop fighting and -listen- to each other. no matter how many times i’ve seen this show, the writing never fails to get me; the writing and cinematography are both beyond impressive in both hill house and bly manor.
@@NotEnoughBooks it scared me at first, but when i realized she just wanted to help them communicate and listen it made me so goddamn sad. i connect with that a lot, as a kid that frequently gets forgotten about or steamrolled over in conversation, i just can’t commit to throwing myself out of my chair like she flipped her casket LMAO
51:15 It frequently gets lost after that amazing jump scare, but Theo's speech here is one of the best of the entire series (and that's saying a lot). And the biggest thing I took away from it was the difference between "not feeling anything" and "feeling nothing." Everyone has always wondered about what's after life but in that moment, Theo felt what nothingness could be like and that is frightening.
I love the parallel between the darkness the Teo felt once she touched Nellie, and the mold in the house. "It spread". For me is a clear analogy to depression.
That was my interpretation too. The nothingness that Theo felt when she touched Nell's body was depression, Nell was so far into it when she died that she felt nothing.
@@raphaa16 Yeah, could be that too. Could be a combination of both actually. My mind immediately went to depression, because I have history with it. But I love your interpretation just as well, be cause the mold spread till it consumed the whole house, just the way the evil in the house consumed all the joy and the lives of the Cranes.
Also a permeating rot that was ‘painted over’ and down in the bones of the house. Down in our bones, waiting to blossom if given the right conditions. Causing harm to house and it’s occupants and for what?
I love the details about the house defending itself - the screwdriver the wife holds at his throat is the the same one he used on the door of the red room. So many scary elements in this story.
I never really got that. Doing a fertility test on a man's semen is so easy, it feels like it would be one of the first things you checked just to cross it off the list.
As you've said, the house is like a character, like a great big sleeping beast. Remember Luke's monologue when he had 90 days sobriety? He would wait for his mom and watch the cars pass: golden headlights were hope, red taillights "taking hope with them." In episode 4, the house lights up a warm gold for Nell to lure her in, showing her everything she would dream of wanting. With Luke, the house lights are red, hopelessness, and he sees the truth of the house inside. A very cool tie in that I just love.
I have to admit that I scoured reaction channels after I watched that episode in particular because I wanted to see other people suffer that same jumpscare, it got me so good
I loved Theo’s monologue so much. Especially when you think about how it’s technically her job to rationalise feelings and make sense of them but you could see how shaken her own mind was and how she couldn’t really vocalise what she felt after touching Nell.
The brilliant thing about that jump scare in the car is that for one, it's not a cheap jump scare. It's been established already that Nellie does something every time they are fighting, to make them stop. It had an actual story relevant purpose. And two, the whole show is set up to make that moment work. There has been a lot of dialogue, story heavy segments so you're focused on the conversation between Shirley and Theo. Also the jump scares are infrequent enough in the show in general that you aren't constantly expecting them like you would in other things, so your guard is completely down. I generally hate jump scares, not because they're scary but because they are so often just lazy writing. This is how you do it right.
I love reactions to that scare. You see the whole spectrum of what people do in a panic. Fight, flight, freeze. I saw one guy once who didn’t seem to react- his eyes just kind of widened- but he paused a minute later saying his heart was beating out of his chest. Best frozen in fear reaction I’ve ever seen. But the ones where people basically try to leave the room like Oak are the best. 😂😂😂
Fun fact the scene were Nell popes out in the car that was the girls genuine reactions they told the actress who played Nell to start acting before her q so they can have genuine fear and it worked also the scene with Theo breaking down still gets me 😭 this cast deserves an award
The actress for Theo (Kate Siegel) is the wife of the creator of the show (Mike Flanagan) - she appears in other shows of his as well, and she did a phenomenal job acting there after the car scare scene. This is why I love this show - it's a great horror show, but it's SO much more than that. There is no other horror show/movie/story that had me this invested in the characters - the character development here is just amazing.
not in the same episode but I think the scene where Shirley and Theo hear the knocks on the front door is a great mirror to a scene showed before with both of them hearing knocks at the house when they where kids. the ending is also a subtle but really well put connection to Luke's episode. the car jump scare always takes me by surprise no matter how many times I see it 😂.
I love a good jumpscare, but episode 8 has gotten EVERYONE who's ever seen it. It's the equivalent of 2 siblings being petty with each other, and the third sister stepping between them and going "Knock it off, dummies!" I love Nellie so much!
I was totally waiting for there to be something in the back of a car at some point because they kept showing backseats, but it still felt like my heart dropped into my stomach.
I watched this show shortly after my brother died, it was so triggering, but it was also cathartic and therapeutic. I think that horror allows you the right to feel and to not be ok. It gives you the right to face reality and not be fake and false, as our grief makes others uncomfortable.
Is the Oak ok after that scare in the car? Scare was so good it made him speechless, lol. They do the jump scares the best, mostly because there're only a few and they're not where you expect.Theo's monologue on the side of the road is one of the best monologues in television history, right up there with Luthen's speech in Andor. Theo is my favorite, both young and older are so talented. I can not wait to see your reactions to the finale!
The dad is my favorite character, especially with Timothy Hutton playing the role, so I’m happy you’re at these episodes now. I love when he starts dropping reveals left right and center, since he’s the guy with so many of the answers we’re waiting for, and his acting is spectacular.
For episode 8, I was so nervous about something happening that I couldn't relax the entire episode. But the conversation between Shirley and Theo in the car was so compelling I got lost in the dialogue and let me guard down. When Nell did her jump scare, it scared me so bad I actually cried.
I rewinded the jump scare scene like five times lol😂 so funny. Perfect how they get you when you’re so engrossed in the dialogue so you’re listening closely and BOOM NELL’S GHOST in the backseat. Epic.
The epic car jump scare, mixed with some of the best revelations in dialogue. I really love Mr. Duddley's monologue and the dad's conversation with Steve in the car. And despite my heart being a mile a minute, I still felt immensely for Theo, and seeing Shirley reach for her hand melted my heart. Your reaction was priceless. Excellent commentary, as usual.
I love Theo's monologue and how well it describes depression, which I've had since I was a kid. The darkness and loneliness that overwhelm everything else. A lot of people go around feeling like they're dead and have to fight to feel and live .
What’s amazing about this show is that you start in one place and you end up in a completely different place. It’s a love story to dis functional families everywhere. I absolutely love this show. Great reaction to this guys as always.
The jumpscare was HILARIOUS!! "F*** ME RUNNING!!" LOL too good!! Again loved the reactions guys, I've seen this show many times and every time I'm finding more layers that give the show a whole new perspective!!
I WAS WAITING ON THIS!! I love your reactions so much, and the jumpscares are great! About to watch the whole thing and enjoy this, I am even making some popcorn!
This is the one episode that everyone was waiting for. Best jump scare ever LOL. Can't wait to see the next two. This show is so smart. I wish we had more content of this level.
The way you share your collective analyses after each episode (or after each movie that you watch) is what I'm here for. It's fascinating to see which elements each of you focuses on (whether it's specific character mannerisms or camera framework), and your commentary truly provides a much richer experience than just the show. A lot of reaction channels are just collections of vapid knee-jerk reactions and "captain obvious"-type commentary, but you articulate your observations and theories so well. I'm really happy I found your channel. That Episode 8 jump-scare was brutal, but you all handled it like champs. 🙂
I watched this series the moment it came out. I just saw horror and I was on board. First episode I loved and then watched the rest straight after. That 8th episode scare, holy shit! I've never jumped out of my chair in a scare before. Best scare I've ever had! Loved it!
I love this show, how it gives you little pieces to keep you hungry and guessing and how satisfaying and rewarding it feels when you finally get more pieces and put together parts of the story. I love how you all where sucked in by Mr Dudley's monologue, first time I watched it I felt goosebumps at first because the smile was creeping me out, and then just because I felt so so bad for him and Mrs Dudley. and I realized with more viewings, I think the smile feels so unnatural, because there is such a sadness and desperation in the eyes and voice accompanying the smile, it's one of my favorite scenes of the show. Glad you guys are still enjoying the show :)
I believe there was an early plot point (later scratched to streamline the story) about Mr. Dudley's mom having an affair with Mr Hill, and that he was Mr Dudeey's father. Hence why she was out in the woods "giggling as if talking to a suitor" (probably Mr. Hill's ghost or a vision of him induced by the house, much like Nellie seeing her late husband). Maybe Mr. Dudley kind of suspects there was an actual love story in there somewhere in his mother's bizarre behaviour; hence the smile.
Something that is so amazing about the jump scare in ep 8 is that you are so into the argument between Sherl and Theo, being so invested in the argument. You don’t expect Nell to be like “STOP ARGUING”. She doesn’t want them to argue she wants them to talk things out because in the end they’re family. You truly don’t expect it partly because there was no warning. No music. No nothing. And also because you’re so caught up in the argument you aren’t thinking of a jump scare.
Best jump scare since Ben Gardner's boat! (I mean there are compilation videos on YT of reactors reacting to that scene) And the reason it was so awesome... the two actresses in the front seat, didn't know the actress in the back seat was gonna do that. That reaction was real. Everyone who has seen this show has been WAITING for you guys to react to that moment. LOL!
Mkay now imagine me watching this season in one sitting overnight starting from like 8 PM to 5 AM. It's 3 AM, I'm on episode 8 and relatively familiar with the jump scare pattern (mostly scary in the past, not really scary in present) and then that scene comes up. I nearly fainted. Also that scene in episode 7 when Mr. Dudley was talking about why they don't stay in the house at night was so compelling. I still can't believe this show didn't win any awards.
My favorite hidden ghost is in episode 7 and no one EVER sees it on the first go. You can actually see her twice in episode 7 -- when Hugh is in the basement discovering the body of Mr. Hill. She's pale with long, white hair and long nails, and you can see her at 49:50 in the actual episode, where she's leaning around the wall and watching Hugh. Then, you see her again standing behind all the police officers just a minute or so later. In Badd Medicine's video, you can see her at 21:30 standing behind the cop in the white mask, with her fingers curled around the wall! Also, when you all finish the series, DEFINITELY check out IMDb's video on the background/hidden ghosts in the series! And, for the first time (even though I've seen the show a good 10 times), I JUST realized that when Shirley and Theo hear the banging on the door to the funeral home, it's a callback to when they heard it as children in the second episode! As for THE jumpscare... that scene was originally two pages longer and Mike Flanagan told Victoria Pedretti (Nell) to jump forward whenever she wanted to, so Theo and Shirley's reactions were real and genuine because they weren't expecting it!
51:34 it’s not that it wasn’t working anymore, she touched her and it’s like all her emotions were replaced by this dark void and she just felt nothing, not happiness or sadness just nothing
Absolutely the best jump scare of all time. When I tell you I screamed louder than I have ever screamed sitting in my living room by myself watching that episode for the first time hahaha
Modern horror often relies far too much on random loud jump scars every turn. This director is awesome at utilizing those more uncanny creepy slow ominous scars instead of pop outs the whole time…but when he does a jump scare he DOES a jump scare lol
I’ve been looking forward to this particular jump scare 😂 I always have to rewatch them a few times to really get everyone’s reaction, but this one? This one has me DYING
Been waiting for that jump scare sooooo long. The greatest, most legit jump scare ever. Period. Followed by one of the best monologues I’ve ever watched. I read somewhere that Kate Siegal (Theo) did that monologue in one take. True or not, it’s a masterclass. Like Mr. Dudley’s monologue. Buckle up, the finale is one of the best conclusions to any story I’ve ever experienced. Cheers!
Firstly, love your reactions and the way you analyse everything. I came just for Hill house, the best series I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying, but I’ll definitely stick around for your other content. Secondly, the custom of throwing a handful of dirt into the grave…it’s common practice in my culture. Once the coffin has been lowered and the ropes removed, family members and close friends will slowly file past for one last goodbye, and toss a handful of dirt in as a ceremonial representation of putting the loved one to rest.
I went to a funeral of a good friend back in the 1990s where we threw dirt on the grave. It was the only time I experienced that. In fact, it was also my first Jewish funeral and one other friend recited the Kaddish. Though I grew up going to Pentecostal and Catholic private schools I found the Jewish funeral to be beautiful, fascinating and deeply meaningful.
In one of the early episodes I remember you guys pondering if there would be jump scares in the show and I was DYING to type a comment! I watched this with friends who enjoy my easily startled nature. They kind of sit and watch me covertly when they know something is coming. When I saw this one I actually jumped up standing on the couch and my body flung itself back against the wall. I screamed louder than I ever have in my life watching something and my body tried to throw itself backwards through the wall. 😂 Best part is my reaction was so extreme it scared my friends who had seen it and were waiting. So then they both screamed and we had to pause the show and laugh for twenty minutes.
They did the family so well that pretty much everyone can see themself in at least one of them. Or parts of themselves in a couple of them. Which REALLY draws you in as a viewer. The psychology of this show is so good.
i was so happy seeing everyone keep quiet about this jumpscare in the comments of the last episodes, can’t wait to see you get the devil scared out of you
The Oak here is literally me in a theatre whenever I see a jump scare for the first time...pretty sure I've entertained a great many souls doing that. WTF!!! lmao. I think everyone that watched this show did that!
It's traditional with my in-laws. They call it the final, tucking them in, so to speak. The way they put it made it so beautiful. I will always do it now.
Omg that epic jumpscare! Can't wait for the next two (last two?) episodes! You guys are gonna enjoy the next 2, the pacing is gonna ramp up big time. Can't wait!😁🤗
love these reactions! you should react to a reveal of all the hidden ghosts in the background after you finish watching- it will blow your mind how many you’ve missed, they were everywhere..really keeps this underlying subtle terror flowing in the less explicitly scary scenes
Not only the actress shot early but it was right in the middle of a big argument with tension between two characters, rather than a jump scare that came out of nowhere!
The reason that jump scare is so effective is because a good jump scare needs to get you really tense and focused in first, but when it's the expectation of the scare that makes you tense, it dulls the shock a little. Here they get you focused and tense because of the relationship between the sisters, which they've spent the entire show getting you invested in. You care so much about how the argument is going and it's getting so intense that the scare is utterly out of the blue, and because you're already tense from the argument it's like setting a match to gunpowder. It's truly genius, the scare still gets me on rewatches because I get into the argument all over again.
I am a total baby with horror and don't usually watch scary stuff and i definitely dont watch horror without someone to watch with, but the story this show tells is so compelling I binged the entire thing in one night totally by myself.
best. jumpscare. ever. 😂 also, I agree 💯 with Dave about the timing of Nellie showing up. whenever the family is arguing, Nellie shows up to try and get them to stop. she is their mediator, there to keep them together as a family. patience, my friends. all will be revealed in the satisfying conclusion. ❤
Episode 7: When Steve got home to his apartment and ran into Luke he says "Futhermucker" - the different floorplans reflect that the house changes itself, controls space/time - Luke with his monolog/line "bring my brother back" and Mr. Dudley's monolog are amazing - it is implied that Mr. Hill is Mr. Dudley's father. Episode 8: The banging on the walls is reflecting their childhood experience back at the house - Theo's monolog is another great example of the caliber of this show - Hue said that the house will protect itself, which it did. The ultimate jump scare - the show gets you so focused on the story/characters that it hits so hard.
@@JennyAnn In Episode 5 he is seen standing in front of Mr. Hill when Nell and Arthur dance by. There is still no other reason for him to be there (that I can figure out) other than being part of the family.
HOLY SH*T did they get us good!!! I can't think of a better jump scare than that!! Can you name a better one? What was your reaction? Did it get you too?

Red is such a big theme. It's hopelessness, danger, it's to indicate when something is related to the house (see mom's dress as a ghost).
And most obviously ‘The Red Door’

I love Theo's monologue and how well it describes depression, which I've had since I was a kid. The darkness and loneliness that overwhelm everything else. A lot of people go around feeling like they're dead and have to fight to feel and live .
What’s amazing about this show is that you start in one place and you end up in a completely different place. It’s a love story to dis functional families everywhere. I absolutely love this show. Great reaction to this guys as always.
The jumpscare was HILARIOUS!! "F*** ME RUNNING!!" LOL too good!! Again loved the reactions guys, I've seen this show many times and every time I'm finding more layers that give the show a whole new perspective!!
It is so good to see Timothy Hutton. He is such an underrated Actor.
I mean he’s an Oscar winner.
@@kellifranklin9872 So maybe he's rated fairly accurately :)
That jump scare makes me laugh because it is essentially a little sister getting her big sisters to SHUT UP and FOCUS!
I WAS WAITING ON THIS!! I love your reactions so much, and the jumpscares are great! About to watch the whole thing and enjoy this, I am even making some popcorn!
This is the one episode that everyone was waiting for. Best jump scare ever LOL. Can't wait to see the next two. This show is so smart. I wish we had more content of this level.
The way you share your collective analyses after each episode (or after each movie that you watch) is what I'm here for. It's fascinating to see which elements each of you focuses on (whether it's specific character mannerisms or camera framework), and your commentary truly provides a much richer experience than just the show. A lot of reaction channels are just collections of vapid knee-jerk reactions and "captain obvious"-type commentary, but you articulate your observations and theories so well. I'm really happy I found your channel. That Episode 8 jump-scare was brutal, but you all handled it like champs. 🙂
Your reaction to that amazing jump scare is *chefs kiss*. I had to pause after that when I first watched it because my heart was racing so fast.
I watched this series the moment it came out. I just saw horror and I was on board. First episode I loved and then watched the rest straight after. That 8th episode scare, holy shit! I've never jumped out of my chair in a scare before. Best scare I've ever had! Loved it!
The episode we all waiting for...
hahahaha indeed!
I love this show, how it gives you little pieces to keep you hungry and guessing and how satisfaying and rewarding it feels when you finally get more pieces and put together parts of the story. I love how you all where sucked in by Mr Dudley's monologue, first time I watched it I felt goosebumps at first because the smile was creeping me out, and then just because I felt so so bad for him and Mrs Dudley. and I realized with more viewings, I think the smile feels so unnatural, because there is such a sadness and desperation in the eyes and voice accompanying the smile, it's one of my favorite scenes of the show.
Glad you guys are still enjoying the show :)
theo's monolofue is also amazing.
I believe there was an early plot point (later scratched to streamline the story) about Mr. Dudley's mom having an affair with Mr Hill, and that he was Mr Dudeey's father. Hence why she was out in the woods "giggling as if talking to a suitor" (probably Mr. Hill's ghost or a vision of him induced by the house, much like Nellie seeing her late husband). Maybe Mr. Dudley kind of suspects there was an actual love story in there somewhere in his mother's bizarre behaviour; hence the smile.
The way I waited for you guys to get to this episode for the jump scare. I don't know a single person who didn't jump at that. It's perfect.
Something that is so amazing about the jump scare in ep 8 is that you are so into the argument between Sherl and Theo, being so invested in the argument. You don’t expect Nell to be like “STOP ARGUING”. She doesn’t want them to argue she wants them to talk things out because in the end they’re family. You truly don’t expect it partly because there was no warning. No music. No nothing. And also because you’re so caught up in the argument you aren’t thinking of a jump scare.
Mr Dudley’s monologue gets me every time.
I scrolled to "the" jumpscare" first try... Iove that moment and the monologue Theo has afterwards.
Best jump scare since Ben Gardner's boat! (I mean there are compilation videos on YT of reactors reacting to that scene) And the reason it was so awesome... the two actresses in the front seat, didn't know the actress in the back seat was gonna do that. That reaction was real. Everyone who has seen this show has been WAITING for you guys to react to that moment. LOL!
5 & 6, then 9 & 10 are my favorites episodes... can't wait for next week!
Mkay now imagine me watching this season in one sitting overnight starting from like 8 PM to 5 AM. It's 3 AM, I'm on episode 8 and relatively familiar with the jump scare pattern (mostly scary in the past, not really scary in present) and then that scene comes up. I nearly fainted. Also that scene in episode 7 when Mr. Dudley was talking about why they don't stay in the house at night was so compelling. I still can't believe this show didn't win any awards.
My favorite hidden ghost is in episode 7 and no one EVER sees it on the first go. You can actually see her twice in episode 7 -- when Hugh is in the basement discovering the body of Mr. Hill.
She's pale with long, white hair and long nails, and you can see her at 49:50 in the actual episode, where she's leaning around the wall and watching Hugh. Then, you see her again standing behind all the police officers just a minute or so later. In Badd Medicine's video, you can see her at 21:30 standing behind the cop in the white mask, with her fingers curled around the wall!
Also, when you all finish the series, DEFINITELY check out IMDb's video on the background/hidden ghosts in the series!
And, for the first time (even though I've seen the show a good 10 times), I JUST realized that when Shirley and Theo hear the banging on the door to the funeral home, it's a callback to when they heard it as children in the second episode!
As for THE jumpscare... that scene was originally two pages longer and Mike Flanagan told Victoria Pedretti (Nell) to jump forward whenever she wanted to, so Theo and Shirley's reactions were real and genuine because they weren't expecting it!
51:34 it’s not that it wasn’t working anymore, she touched her and it’s like all her emotions were replaced by this dark void and she just felt nothing, not happiness or sadness just nothing
19:51 I am convinced that the dad is not seeing a ghost, but rather just imagining what his wife would say in those situations.
Absolutely the best jump scare of all time. When I tell you I screamed louder than I have ever screamed sitting in my living room by myself watching that episode for the first time hahaha
I can’t believe I have to wait A WHOLE WEEK to watch you guys finish it 😭
Modern horror often relies far too much on random loud jump scars every turn. This director is awesome at utilizing those more uncanny creepy slow ominous scars instead of pop outs the whole time…but when he does a jump scare he DOES a jump scare lol
I’ve been looking forward to this particular jump scare 😂 I always have to rewatch them a few times to really get everyone’s reaction, but this one? This one has me DYING
🤣🤣🤣 it got us good
I've been waiting for that jump scare to see you guys jump and scream LOL. It gets me every damn time lol
Man, I really like you guys. You seem like genuinely good people. I'm so excited for this!
This was one of my favorite shows and exceeded expectations across the board. The writing, acting, and cinematography are all amazing.
I was waiting for that jump scare! I was not disappointed. I replayed it about 3 times.
Been waiting for that jump scare sooooo long. The greatest, most legit jump scare ever. Period. Followed by one of the best monologues I’ve ever watched. I read somewhere that Kate Siegal (Theo) did that monologue in one take. True or not, it’s a masterclass. Like Mr. Dudley’s monologue.
Buckle up, the finale is one of the best conclusions to any story I’ve ever experienced.
Cheers!
Firstly, love your reactions and the way you analyse everything. I came just for Hill house, the best series I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying, but I’ll definitely stick around for your other content.
Secondly, the custom of throwing a handful of dirt into the grave…it’s common practice in my culture. Once the coffin has been lowered and the ropes removed, family members and close friends will slowly file past for one last goodbye, and toss a handful of dirt in as a ceremonial representation of putting the loved one to rest.
I went to a funeral of a good friend back in the 1990s where we threw dirt on the grave. It was the only time I experienced that. In fact, it was also my first Jewish funeral and one other friend recited the Kaddish. Though I grew up going to Pentecostal and Catholic private schools I found the Jewish funeral to be beautiful, fascinating and deeply meaningful.
In one of the early episodes I remember you guys pondering if there would be jump scares in the show and I was DYING to type a comment!
I watched this with friends who enjoy my easily startled nature. They kind of sit and watch me covertly when they know something is coming.
When I saw this one I actually jumped up standing on the couch and my body flung itself back against the wall. I screamed louder than I ever have in my life watching something and my body tried to throw itself backwards through the wall. 😂
Best part is my reaction was so extreme it scared my friends who had seen it and were waiting. So then they both screamed and we had to pause the show and laugh for twenty minutes.
Shirley is that constantly irritated eldest daughter lol. I can honestly see myself in her sometimes.
Same
@@O___________0 Because she refuses to listen. She's so sure that she's right, and she's cutting and horrid and dismissive.
@@O___________0 I like her character, but she's an asshole who disrespects almost everyone around her. That's probably why she gets hate.
@@erinraecowin I think y'all lack depth. She's awful at times but other siblings are oftentimes much worse and get half the hate she does.
They did the family so well that pretty much everyone can see themself in at least one of them. Or parts of themselves in a couple of them. Which REALLY draws you in as a viewer. The psychology of this show is so good.
I've been waiting on the famous jump scare and you did not disappoint!!
i was so happy seeing everyone keep quiet about this jumpscare in the comments of the last episodes, can’t wait to see you get the devil scared out of you
The Oak here is literally me in a theatre whenever I see a jump scare for the first time...pretty sure I've entertained a great many souls doing that. WTF!!! lmao. I think everyone that watched this show did that!
I LOVE going back and re-watching the episodes for the hints
Mr. Dudley's monologue is one of the most impressive I've ever seen.
minute 50:36 PURE GOLD
I have been waiting for this episode! Watching over and over so funny for the past hour! You guys are great!
Best jumpscare reaction ever!! You legends 🎉
Everyone was waiting for that Nell jump.
I am dying at the jumpscare 🤣
Ahh the good old jump scare. Can't tell you how long I've been waiting for that. Now to the epic conclusion to this story Hahah
It's traditional with my in-laws. They call it the final, tucking them in, so to speak. The way they put it made it so beautiful. I will always do it now.
I've been waiting for this one for sooooo long :D I will rewatch it for 100 times now :D
That jump scare did not disappoint 😂
Everybody waiting for your reaction to the car scene jajajajajajaja. This is probably the best series I have seen in my life.
Been waiting for this episode...lol..I too screamed like a banshee during THAT scene.
I love Theo's monologue sm 🥺
theo's monologue hits so fucking hard... it's one of the best things i've ever seen she is an AMAZING actress
I'm hoping for a slow-motion playback of that jump scare... that was awesome!
I cannot wait for you to finish this and go back and re-watch and find all the hidden ghosts in almost all the scenes. Its amazing.
every actor is phenomenal in all the three shows.
Omg that epic jumpscare! Can't wait for the next two (last two?) episodes!
You guys are gonna enjoy the next 2, the pacing is gonna ramp up big time. Can't wait!😁🤗
and that my friends is one of the best damn jump scares in jump scare history 😱
love these reactions! you should react to a reveal of all the hidden ghosts in the background after you finish watching- it will blow your mind how many you’ve missed, they were everywhere..really keeps this underlying subtle terror flowing in the less explicitly scary scenes
A jumpscare perfectly crafted largely on the fact the actress shot early. That was not how it was meant to happen, by all the info they've given us.
Not only the actress shot early but it was right in the middle of a big argument with tension between two characters, rather than a jump scare that came out of nowhere!
The reason that jump scare is so effective is because a good jump scare needs to get you really tense and focused in first, but when it's the expectation of the scare that makes you tense, it dulls the shock a little. Here they get you focused and tense because of the relationship between the sisters, which they've spent the entire show getting you invested in. You care so much about how the argument is going and it's getting so intense that the scare is utterly out of the blue, and because you're already tense from the argument it's like setting a match to gunpowder.
It's truly genius, the scare still gets me on rewatches because I get into the argument all over again.
I am a total baby with horror and don't usually watch scary stuff and i definitely dont watch horror without someone to watch with, but the story this show tells is so compelling I binged the entire thing in one night totally by myself.
Okay!!! that jump scare (had to pause) what the HECK MAN!!😂 WOW 😲 lol got me good!!
> Does she not want answers? Why is she mad?
Gee, I wonder.
loved the house workers monologue
Been waiting for that car scene through this whole series - so glad it got you guys are hard as it got me!
lol Dave's reaction to the jump scare is the best 😁50:38
Those eyes were a rollercoaster journey of self discovery.
That jumpscare was amazing, your reaction was priceless.
best. jumpscare. ever. 😂
also, I agree 💯 with Dave about the timing of Nellie showing up. whenever the family is arguing, Nellie shows up to try and get them to stop. she is their mediator, there to keep them together as a family.
patience, my friends. all will be revealed in the satisfying conclusion. ❤
This show is excellent, and you guys enjoying the ride is awesome. The jump scare was balls to the wall🤣
Episode 7: When Steve got home to his apartment and ran into Luke he says "Futhermucker" - the different floorplans reflect that the house changes itself, controls space/time - Luke with his monolog/line "bring my brother back" and Mr. Dudley's monolog are amazing - it is implied that Mr. Hill is Mr. Dudley's father.
Episode 8: The banging on the walls is reflecting their childhood experience back at the house - Theo's monolog is another great example of the caliber of this show - Hue said that the house will protect itself, which it did. The ultimate jump scare - the show gets you so focused on the story/characters that it hits so hard.
I've watched this show an embarrasing number of times, and I never picked up on that detail about Mr. Hill and Mr. Dudley. Fantastic.
@@JennyAnn In Episode 5 he is seen standing in front of Mr. Hill when Nell and Arthur dance by. There is still no other reason for him to be there (that I can figure out) other than being part of the family.
