The dad attacked the red door with a screwdriver - the house struck back using the mom putting that same screwdriver at his throat! I love the details in this show.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

I keep picking up new stuff to learn even after having seen the series in great chunks! And after watching and commenting through several watch-through of this series, it’s become a hobby in itself!

[@JosieSchuller]

Whoa. I never even noticed that. Nice catch.

Yeah never caught that!!

[@FleurFeuille]

Woow ! Nice catch !!

[@iris-xo]

Omg I never realized that!!!

[@aidencrabb9203]

Mr. Dudley's monologue in the basement is to this day, one of the finest performances I've seen from an actor. Just bone-chilling. The actor, Robert Longstreet, said he was terrified for the scene and had trouble getting through the first three takes they did because whenever he got to the part about his daughter it became too painful and his memory would blank. The director, Mike Flanagan, said "We got it, we can piece it together anyway we want with reaction shots from Hugh but if you get through it once all the way, it'll be art." Robert said "Well, hell yeah, let's do that." So they did a fourth take, all in one shot and that's what's in the show. Astounding. He's so so good in this. Love him.

[@ginster458]

He's also in Midnight Mass, Flanagan's newest show (highly recommend it!) and he has an absolutely soul crunching scene there as well. Doesn't even talk much, he just reacts, but it breaks your heart. He's an outstanding actor.

This! We all carry ghosts, we all live haunted lives.

[@thebalancerseye5765]

yes, love is like a ghost. few have seen them, but everybody talks

[@bluegypsy71]

❤️👏🏼Seasoned actors Henry Thomas/Timothy Hutton in the role of father…both give such a stellar performance. For me, knowing Henry Thomas as the kid in E.T., and now as father in this series brings his career full circle.

[@TheKelJacob]

And, Timothy Hutton started as a teen in his first movie & won the Oscar.

[@carlosrvra]

So cool how Timothy Hutton kind of looks like what Henry Thomas would look like at that age. Good casting as far as talent AND as far as how similar they look to each other.

[@Hey_Jamie]

It’s so tragic to me that the mother, the first to die, her name is Liv. And throughout the show when Hugh calls for her, he’s always shouting LIV! LIV! And I’m like… she doesn’t 🥺

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Any time a cop advises you NOT to get a lawyer, you know he's planning to railroad you. Oh, and the other body being referred to is definitely the one in the wall. Remember how the dad immediately pointed out "That was nothing to do with us" and the cop agreed?

[@Fordo007]

seeing the full show I don't think your correct on the second point

[@ibuprofriends]

@@Fordo007 they are right. abigail was kept a secret so the dudleys could continue to visit her ghost. the cops don't know about her.

[@birdbrainiac]

The other body is not the one in the wall. There's another body - watch episode 9 again.

[@Lannisen]

Ghost Nell has talked to Luke twice now, "Go" at the night of her death, and "Don't" at her funeral. Remember that, it's one of those small details that you catch after a few watch throughs that shows how amazing the writing is for this show.

[@everausten]

Mr Dudley's monologue is still my favourite monologue in anything from Mike Flanagan. Robert Longstreet is an incredible actor ✨🌟🌙🌟✨

[@kev51281]

I didn't trust Dudleys at all until this episode. His monologue was fantastic, one take too.

[@carlosrvra]

Outside of straight up saying there are "gh...gh...gh...ghosts!", Mr. Dudley did everything in his power to warn the dad to take his family and GTFO :D

[@silvsevie]

I didn't just trust him after that speech, I felt so much respect and empathy for them both after that speech.

[@randyjohnson6390]

I agree this is one of the best television series of this type I've seen.

[@Leakampff]

Some thoughts about the plans that Liv drew, she apparently drew the shape of their 'forever home' over and over again. Almost like she was forcefully turning Hill House into their 'forever home' which definitely seemed to be the intention of the house itself alright

[@roaringviking5693]

I don't know if you missed it or not, but the dad told Luke in this episode that he is imagining Olivia as a coping mechanism, so the Olivia that the dad see isn't a ghost, it's just his imagination.

[@rosathais]

Yes, I don't wanna give any spoilers but it's confirmed down the road

[@thoso1973]

It can't be; Nell also sees her mothers ghost standing next to her dad at her wedding. She looks similar to how her dad sees her.

[@johnw8578]

She is a sort of a ghost, because there are all kinds of ghosts in this series: regret, mental illness, memories, etc. She is the memory of the Olivia before the house.

[@scyphe]

I think Olivia was the most susceptible in the family to the influence and power of the house since she were "sensitive" as well as having those terrible migraines (which were probably exacerbated by living in the house, wearing her down mentally). Theo had her own version of being sensitive but she was fearless and had a different kind of sensitivity which probably saved her. The twins were probably also sensitive in their own way and being so young they were also easily haunted and broken down by the fear and influence of the house and it's ghosts, explaining their issues when they became adults.

[@maddwitch]

All the kids were sensitive. Shirley saw things in dreams, Theo saw things through touch, and Steve, Luke, and Nell all saw ghosts, Steve just didn't know he did.

[@ChuckS117]

That hidden ghost you caught scared the living crap out of me when I first watched this.

[@buzzardbeatniks]

I hope you guys follow on with The Haunting of Bly Manor and Midnight Mass. they're also very good, less scary I think but also very thought provoking.

[@crust8016]

Bly Manor is scary in a more tragic way while Midnight Mass is scary in an existential way

[@jacksonmay153]

Bly manor is BORING AF

[@ichibanb]

Didn't care for Bly Manor. Didn't find it scary at all.. only managed to watch a few episodes before bailing.

[@daltonio6001]

@@jacksonmay153 Nah

[@roaringviking5693]

Bly Manor was a huge disappointment for me. I liked Midnight Mass a little more than Bly Manor, but it was ultimately disappointing too. Hill House is the vastly superior show.

[@amydubuque2894]

Mr Dudleys monologue is SO good. One of my favorites. He's such a good actor. I hope you'll do Bly and midnight mass after this. He's great in midnight mass.

[@arnodk2852]

The actor who plays the dad Dudley is amazing, I hope he shows up in more shows/movies. He's really good in Mike Flanagan's newest show Midnight Mass as well.

[@JKM395]

It's a rare show that gets better with every episode. I've not watched it since it came out, and I'm quite enjoying re-watching it with you guys.

[@chriskelly3481]

It turns out that awards shows mean nothing. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I LOOOOVE that Hugh & Theo (the LEAST "touchy-feely" of his kids) connect and heal so early on.

[@mohanicus]

15:23...well done spotting the long white haired ghost in the background beside the construction light looking around the corner guys👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jksgameshelf3378]

There are a couple of shows that are really great but I don't think anyone has reacted to, that I think you two would love. The first one is "The Terror" with Jared Harris from 'Chernobyl' loosely based on the true story of the voyage of British ships the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror that got trapped in ice in the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic. The show is based on a book that takes the real incident and adds a horror element. It's a brilliant series. The other show is "DEVS" which is a sci-fi thriller written and directed by Alex Garland, who did 'Annihilation' and 'Ex Machina'. Both are one season only (well, 'The Terror' had a second season with a different real life storyline mixed with a horror element) and they are both great series. Maybe check out the trailers to see what you think, but I highly recommend both. SO excited for these last few episodes, and get the tissues ready, especially in the last episode.

[@gccurry1]

both good choices.

[@sonnyhenriksen9398]

[@michaelb8317]

I hope at some point you'll check out the original movie The Haunting 1963. It's based on the same book as this series and is one of the best haunted house movies ever made IMO. You never see the ghost throughout the entire film. Everything is left up to your imagination which makes it far more spooky.

[@KremitLeFroge]

I know it's not a horror movie for October, but you guys really should add Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) to your library (or theater?). It's an insanely underrated movie that shows Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany, and especially Director Peter Weir at their very best. Though historical fiction, it has a shocking amount of accuracy while not sacrificing story. The filmmakers even went so far as to purchase a replica, era appropriate frigate and taught the cast to sail it. Worth consideration at the very least.

[@autowaagh99]

Thing in the dead bodies hand was a Trowel

[@dalton6173]

As someone who briefly stayed with a small time producer who was one of the people who votes for the awards and stuff like that for at least one set of them. They received DVDs in the mail and there's no obligation for them to watch it and I actually remember them getting the haunting Hill House series and they didn't watch it at all I tried to convince them to and yeah they just chose not to watch it so they obviously didn't vote for it considering that they didn't even take the time to watch even the first episode.

[@SaHayes-it2uw]

Watch Cabin in the Woods. Curious for your interpretation of that film.

[@kev51281]

Samantha Sees a Ghost.

[@alliel9970]

I cannot WAIT for you to react to the rest- the last 3 episodes are the best of the series (in my opinion). You're right that the transitions are amazing, and as chaotic as it is right now it's still easy to follow and tie back to things that were foreshadowed or alluded to in prior episodes. Such a great series, looking forward to the rest!!

[@mrkemrk]

The woman who plays Stephen's wife is Samantha Sloyan. When you watch Midnight Mass, remember that name.

[@gccurry1]

she is phenomenal in it

[@thoso1973]

Yeah, she's amazing in Midnight Mass. She also played Kate Siegel's neighbor Sarah in Hush, the Netflix horror film where Kate and Sarah discuss Kate's book called... 'Midnight Mass'. ;)

[@keavabonner1625]

I'm so glad y'all noticed the ghost peeking out

[@hepunk]

15:37 the comment about catching a ghost in real time and then the next shot miss the other ghost peering around the door frame behind the cop furthest in the back. lol

[@drlee2]

It's not surprising this show didn't get Emmy nominations to me. I've seen great writing and acting go completely unrecognized on some shows over the years. Also, I think much like in film, awards are biased against horror in TV as well. Bates Motel is one of my top 3 shows of the last 20 years and over it's 5-year run, it almost never got recognized for the phenomenal writing and acting from Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore, although Farmiga got nominated once for the first season and that was it. Another thing is that even though this is a limited 1-season series, the Emmys always tend to cherry pick and re-nominate the same actors over and over again no matter what shows they are on, which doesn't leave a lot of room for fresh blood. Timothy Hutton is the only actor on Hill House that as far as I know has been nominated for an Emmy prior to it's premiere, but he's a veteran. The rest of the cast are pretty young and relative newcomers to the TV landscape. Even Henry Thomas and Carla Gugino, who are in their 40s, hadn't done much TV to my re-collection prior to Hill House.

[@N___03]

Horror genre really is overlooked by award show. Like Hereditary (movie) and this Hill House (TV show). such a robbery in 2018

[@GambinoVincent]

at 15:41, you can see the ghost in the basement again standing behind them grabbing the door frame. She's poking out halfway right behind the guy farthest back

If you watch it again, you can see Olivia is cracking up right from the beginning. But there's so much else going on, it's easy to miss. Remember her talk about the black fireworks, and all her migraines and abruptness wiith the children. She's a good mother a lot of the time, but she's also cracking up.

Not a spoiler. “The other body” is the one in the wall. That’s why he says “that had nothing to do with us” in the flashback that cop was part of getting the body out of the wall/house.

[@carlosrvra]

9:45 - This is the show's "Get Out!" moment. This handyman is trying SO HARD to warn the dad to GTFO of this house with his family. I wonder if Mr. Dudley thinks Elliott from E.T. won't believe him if he tells him there are ghosts, or if he can't warn him clearly without being punished by the ghosts? Or maybe Mrs. Dudley has asked him not to tell? Also, I wonder if the dad's vision of his wife is just in his head, or if she's the true spirit of his wife, as opposed to whatever the corpse-ghost version of her is.

Yeah, it's true that Hill House didn't win any awards. Most awards shows have a notorious bias against genre fiction, but ESPECIALLY against horror. It was the same situation when Toni Collette got snubbed for her acting in Hereditary. Awards shows hate horror, no matter how good it is. Literally the ONE and ONLY time I've ever seen a horror movie get nominated/win anything at the Oscars was Get Out, and that was clearly just because of the identity politics of it starring black people (not a problem with me, obviously, I loved Get Out, but that idpol shit really is a constant obsession with Hollywood). Yeah, people are better off just rejecting the prestige of these award shows. They mean nothing. They're just a bunch of snobs in fancy suits and dresses deciding which show or which picture appealed most to their political or egotistical sensibilities. More often than not, the movies and shows that I keep seeing stand the test of time are the ones that ordinary people watch over and over again, not the ones that necessarily win the most awards.

[@KatiesGoldenDust]

Silence of the Lambs won 5 Oscars, including best actor for Anthony Hopkins, and he was only in the film for 16 minutes. It's exceedingly rare yes, but horror films have won in the past

[@Kira1Lawliet]

@@KatiesGoldenDust SotL is a borderline example. It's really more of a crime thriller than a straight horror film, and plenty of crime films have gotten awards in the past. I'm talking about HORROR horror. There's never been a horror film that's won Best Picture at the Oscars, and I doubt there's ever been one even nominated. I could be wrong, but if I am, I'm quite certain that none has been nominated within the last five decades or so.

This show did not receive award nominations that just goes to show it's completely and totally rigged... If there's a haunted category or a scary category or even drama or a fiction category... Any of those areas heck even cinematography. Honestly I think this show should have swept the board in all of those categories in addition to maybe some acting awards. (I do wish there was a bit more diversity however they did add in plenty of side characters that are of diversity and they are dealing with a white family as the main actors so I get that and the help at an expensive house would probably be white if their families been doing it for generations. So I get they're working with what they could but that's my only gripe about this show.

[@Kiddious]

That's not the other body the cop was referring to. The other body was the one behind the wall which, as Hugh stated, the Craines had nothing to do with. Nobody, but the few people witnessing that final night knew about the body you're talking about. The cops never found out.
