[@RaggedyPack]

MILES!! 😱 Removed the lady of the lake from the background image so no one gets scared anymore ❤ Full length reaction available on our Patreon www.patreon.com/collection/606940 Come hang out in our Discord discord.gg/HQFtGkCf37

[@screamr2d2]

Thank you! I thought I was the only one getting freaked out by it, the first time it popped up I jumped almost as bad as Blake this episode.

[@ginster458]

Haha I was confused at first cause I thought she was on screen and none of was saying anything

[@lokiplays6868]

I was gonna say something but I guess I wasn't the only one lol

[@JaimeCard]

Love that he keeps TRYING to get expelled but the one teacher keeps trying to be so helpful 😂

[@Munchkin895]

Then we finally see what Flora wrote to make him go so far: 😮 The guys: OMG what could it MEAN??? Blake: I think it means COME HOME. 🤨

[@bvn1313]

"my hair's standing up everywhere... even my head!" should not have been so funny to me 😂

[@ShawnaBrooks]

If Cojo doesn't like religious parallels then he's gonna have a hard time with Midnight Mass.

[@marklouis1890]

Right

[@MichelleseaChelle]

They asked that we not give any kind of spoilers. Please respect that.

[@marklouis1890]

@@MichelleseaChelle . I reject spoilers as well, however It's called Midnight Mass. They seem to be intelligent men I'm sure they can gather that there will be some religious element in the series 😊

[@SafetyinNumbers5628]

I cannot wait until Midnight Mass!

[@ShawnaBrooks]

@@MichelleseaChelleit’s not a spoiler though? It’s literally in the title

[@faithtrustandpixidust]

0:50 blake gets it. i’ll literally watch anything victoria is in, she’s amazing.

[@joshuacoldwater]

Kate Siegel, I’d watch her read the dictionary- and be in awe. Mike Flanagan did an amazing job casting her as Theo in hill house and choosing a life partner.

[@beatricemcgarvey1198]

You missed the bit where Dani asked what the doll’s name was and Flora said “she can’t remember” 🤨

[@ondinee4855]

yo yalls reactions to flora pulling the "shhh" on the humming lady in the attic were GOLD 😂 love love love your channel!!

[@afdal24fadil]

You guys are Perfectly splendid

[@Nexils]

Loved reading 'The turn of the screw' afterwards. Some scenes - like Dani spotting the man on the balcony or seeing him outside the window - is exactly like the book.

[@daytrippera]

Two things: -Mike Flanagan recently signed to reboot The Exorcist franchise. - You should react to The Shining, directed by Stanley Kubrick staring Jack Nicholson and the sequel Doctor Sleep directed by Mike Flanagan and staring Ewan McGregor, both based on books by Stephen King.

[@melissayoung465]

Doctor Sleep is so good. Flanagan managed to make it both a sequel to the book and movie since there were a lot of differences between the original Shining movie and book. He's an absolute genius.

[@ginster458]

Oh man really? That might be the first of his I have to skip, the original one already messed me up, if Mike does it...

[@daytrippera]

@ginster458 don't skip it, it's a great sequel, it follows Danny as an adult (played by Ewan McGregor)

[@daytrippera]

@@melissayoung465 totally, only Flanagan could have done it. 🙌🙌🙌

[@ginster458]

@@daytrippera oh no I meant the Exorcist! Doctor Sleep was amazing

[@JaimeCard]

Ah, Blake used the hat to cover his eyes this time, an interesting technique 😂 I knew the hide and seek was gonna be a rough one for him 😂

[@Quandary100]

That shushing scene, I definitely was like Blake in that moment until Flora shushed, so literally went to a "WHAT?!? You can shush at something supernatural and it'll calm down?!?" So glad you already recognized Luke btw, hearing him using his real accent (he's actually British) is amazing.

[@GardenVVitch]

He's from London & uses a Scottish accent in Bly Manor, it's not the same at all. That's like saying someone from Texas is using their real New York accent.

[@NeleCB]

I guess you missed people making fun of his fake Scottish accent 😅

[@kirstyhesketh1416]

❤

[@neonoires]

It's been a long time since I've seen this but that hide and seek game was terrifying. Blake's stress was so funny.

[@bubba2494]

I love how Danny's actress portays panic/anxiety attacks. The # of times Ive reacted like that when Im caught by someone and try to pull it back in the way she does. 😭 Very accurate, I think.

[@marklouis1890]

I also share Blake's love for Victoria Pedretti. I hope you guys react to "You", one day. She's phenomenal in that series

[@GardenVVitch]

Who edited this? Showing Blake's jump scare in slow motion *3 times* feels like payback 😂 it's so good revisiting this show with you guys, I can't wait to get to the episodes that answer all your questions!

[@RealBradMiller]

Little easter egg Flanagan puts into his works is a certain mirror and/or its frame.

[@bridgetbatch09]

So much to dive into, cant wait for all the backstory

[@moviegoer727]

Lots of theories being thrown around this episode lol Not saying any of them are wrong or right, just that I found it entertaining this early in the season 😂

[@shan0997]

I've never seen this channel before but the guy in the wildcats jumper is hilarious 🫣😂

[@sarahjohansen3961]

when your channel becomes old time tv before streaming. me, knowing that i have to go on youtube every Wednesday to se my show. thank you for your content. I enjoy all your theories, and angles i had not thought of my self when i saw the show. AND thank you Blake, for being scared and brave at the same time. and for being a mirror of my self when i sit and watch horror movies with a pillow to put in front of my eyes.

[@PabloVeGa42]

Blake...jumpscares...i'm in.

[@Markyajv]

I don't know how much you guys know about Mike Flanagan and his projects so I'm just going to throw some stuff out there and see if it hits. Mike Flanagan Ari uses a lot of the talent that He has in his projects which is awesome . Let's go back to 2016 there's a movie called "Hush" starring Mike's wife Kate Siegal (She's in almost all his projects - She was Theo in HoHH) as a deaf author. There are only three people in the entire movie. The book that she wrote that became a big hit was called Midnight Mass . In the beginning of that movie her character calls a neighbor and The Neighbor comes walking across the yard with a copy of a book in her hand . The actress walking across the yard is the same actress that plays Steves wife in The Haunting of Hill House. She lays the book down on the table and the book is titled Midnight Mass. Cut to the movie Gerald's Game starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood . On the nightstand next to the bed is the book Midnight Mass. Cut to the show Midnight Mass(great show) full circle. Now. The Haunting of Bly Manor is not exactly one story from one book each episode is one story from one book written by Henry James. Also you should watch Fall of the House of Usher which also Stars Katey Seigal, Carla Gugino Bruce Greenwood,etc... Also each episode is named after 1 of Edgar Allen Poe's stories. That's also a great show! Btw... Blake... Your Xanax order is ready to be picked up. Make sure you take 1/2 hour before shooting. 😂

[@melissayoung465]

Love hearing all the theories. I'm so happy you're watching the different Mike Flanagan shows.

[@samantharose1144]

I forgot about the Miles lore we get in this episode

[@mckeldin1961]

My take on the first two HAUNTING series: Hill House was scarier... Bly Manor -- though not as well balanced -- is the more interesting series. When I heard that Flanagan was going to use The Turn of the Screw for his jumping off point for season two, I was so excited. James' novella is the only time I had that classic tv/movie moment of reading a book and having the phone ring, startling me so that I throw the book up in the air. It's interesting that Flanagan chose Hill House and Turn of the Screw as his first two stories. Both have excellent film versions made only two years apart: THE INNOCENTS (1961, based on Turn of the Screw) and THE HAUNTING (1963, based on Hill House).

[@billramirez8686]

This was a good one. You guys are cooking when it comes to Miles. When you kept playing Blake's reaction to that jump scare I yelled out, "Leave Blake alone!!! 😂😂😂😂" Kudos, guys. 🤘

[@DarthCaesar96]

Awesome react!

[@pepelegal1989]

This show likes to mess with the mind, so don't expect to understand everything until the show wants you to understand!

Great reaction guys. Random question: Cojo, what products do you use on your hair? Would love to style mine like that.

you guys are having a hard time comprehending what's going on... lol

[@ragnhildj1985]

I enjoy watching as always 😊 Love this reaction ❤️ You guys are amazing 😉 Now I can go to sleep happy ✨

[@TomTomson81]

If according to your theory Flora is dead, how is she supposed to write a letter to Miles? And does she then go to the post office with it afterwards or what?

[@ryancole4893]

WAIT I MISSED EPISODE 1! GOTTA WATCH IT FIRST lol

[@Angel11a]

Since you love Victoria (we all love her) You guys should also think about watching the show “YOU” that show is CRAZY and Victoria is in it 😫

[@justinehercthehuman]

Just to let you guys know, from now on, the episodes are not directed by Mike Flanagan unlike Hill House which was all directed by him. So some episodes will be crazier than the rest direction-wise.

[@emmigration]

Please don't perform CPR on someone who has only lost consciousness! You'll kill them! 😂 CPR is only meant to be performed on someone whose heart has stopped beating 💓

idk why this episode made me think of it but I think you guys would like the horror series From. I believe its on prime video. great episode!

[@orballo13]

What did plague doctor do? 😭

[@zXSleeZy]

I used to think you might've seen this series or the first one, but now after seeing the comments it's more clear that you're just getting spoiled. You guys realy should try get some moderators for the comments or just avoid reading, it until the show is done.

my Wednesdays are much better with u guys ❤

Go ahead Cojo knowing your scripture, lol.

[@KlausOG7]

Guys remember what flora said about the lady in the lake she have no name and she can't be remembered. this series is slow poison it will get deep deeper and darker every episode.. small small scenes with more impacts and the dialogues and bgm is top notch kudos to the child actors..

[@sandpiperr]

You don't need to spoil it. Let them just watch the show and figure it out!

[@jhufffamily7920]

@@sandpiperr what exactly did they spoil? they didn’t say anything that has to do with the plot. they told them to recall a scene that they’ve already watched then described the tone of the show. there are def people in the comments spoiling things, but this comment isn’t one of them. :)

[@IllaLuna17]

I’m here!!

[@singingchristian]

On my first watch of this show I thought it was ok. Second watch I thought it was good. Third watch, holy cow it’s actually so interesting and smart.

[@skywltn]

I'm excited for you guys to piece the puzzles together as you watch more episodes, it'll all come clear! This show is such a perfect slowburn I thought about the ending for days. 🤌🏻

[@sucreepark6260]

I feel like Hill House ruined ya'll. Please stop looking for the hidden ghosts and focus on the dialogue. You're missing a lot of things or talking over it because you're waiting for something creepy to happen. The dialogue is very important. I feel like you're not seeing the characters.

[@bluegypsy71]

Poor Blake🙈

[@jhufffamily7920]

just a heads up, there are a couple pretty big spoilers in the comments, so tread with caution. the biggest one in my opinion is a reply to a comment, so you might wanna avoid reading replies to comments. anyway, love the reaction as always! and i’m always looking forward to wednesdays!

[@andrealara994]

Blake's still my favorite. Can't wait for Midnight Mass!

[@ArisIM347]

Spoiler Alert!! Gotcha` 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@screamr2d2]

Great reaction, as per usual guys! That jump from Blake made me night 😂 I'm loving the theories too. This show is so good. This was definitely the episode that ramped things up way more than the first one. Glad to see you're enjoying it 😊 Oh! I dont want to forget to shout out the kid playing Miles. Hes brilliant. I dont know how he pulls off the nuances he does, it'd be difficult for much older actors to pull off. As you guys pointed out, hes practically a different person every other scene. And its believable. Cant stop raving about that kid. Should probably look his name back up though so i can stop calling him the kid 😂

[@joshuacoldwater]

Here’s the only other thing I have to say about this show. It is very different than Hill House in EVERY way. This author wrote very differently, and it is based on MANY of his works. Nothing is going to make sense- until they want it to make sense on the screen. I have watched this series quite a few times with different friends, and with a couple reactors. I have never seen one understand what the kids are talking about, where the objects are coming from, and what is truly happening until some key moments occur. This series, again, is not like Hill House. Yes, every line is important and extremely impressive but not as impactful on the overall story. Enjoy the last few episodes.

Flora's letter has 3 figures... 1 is flora, the previous nanny and luke....come home is kinda like "they have come, I'm scared alone, come home".... I think durning the injuries in his school, miles is trying to see if those will spirit leave his body if his body is not healty like before.

[@satines6045]

Cojo is extra handsome in this episode.

[@Lions1986]

Oh boy Blake is going to have the last laugh. Just keep doubting him Igli

[@poetinmyheart94]

The letter said 'come home' because that's exactly what Flora wanted Miles to do and why Miles kept trying to find ways (the key) to get expelled so he'll be sent home to be with her.

[@illgillbates9561]

Yay! Let's gooo

Really good theories, boys. ya'll are putting things together nicely. can't wait for more.
