The Haunting of Hill House 1x08 'Witness Marks' | First Time Reaction

[@Liesmith424]

Nell was so fed up with her sisters' bickering that she had to politely voice her disagreement.

[@bradcha5413]

Dumbledore said calmly

[@alexr7595]

The jumpscare is probably the most iconic part of the show, alongside the Bent Neck Lady reveal, but for me the the most chilling, creepiest moment of the episode has to be “I never build you kids a tree house”

[@ILJtheFirst]

The tree house is the only room to be seen by 3 siblings. I assume Theo was in there because she tore up Luke's No Girls Allowed sign.

[@briangonigal3974]

There’s one other really shocking reveal moment that completely broke my brain, but it seems a lot of other people had already figured it out beforehand. I’m still not sure if I envy them or pity them for not getting smacked with the full force of the reveal like I did.

[@ILJtheFirst]

@@briangonigal3974 I think I know what you're referring to. I also got smacked in the face in the final episode. Watching clips, it makes sense. Though, I didn't actively try to solve the show every minute.

[@rowanmayfair9249]

​@@briangonigal3974I was one of the unlucky ones, figured it out in an earlier episode. I think 2 before this one.

[@EchthelionII]

​@briangonigal3974 What reveal? I actually just finished watching it again last night too.

[@DonutStalker93]

As soon as I saw Shirley and Theo in the car I grinned because I knew the best jumpscare in the series was coming and y'all had no idea 😂

[@rowanmayfair9249]

I got excited because I knew they were going to freak.

[@EchthelionII]

That scene is like 90% of why I'm watching their reaction to this. I do also enjoy their reactions & the show, but that 1 moment is just so good!

[@rowanmayfair9249]

@DonutStalker93 I do feel bad that I get excited. They just jump so well.

[@justinehercthehuman]

The placement of that jumpscare is just BRILLIANT. You get so invested to their fighting and you lower your guard and BAAM!

[@Karaokuma]

Not only that, but it leads to the sisters reconciling, as Nell wanted it to. That is genius-level writing.

[@elheber]

You might be letting down your guard for a jumpscare, but the best jumpscares slowly raise the tension before snapping. Their slowly escalating argument was the tension builder. So clever.

[@islaythejabberwokky]

It makes Theo's monologue that much more impactful tbh, because your heart is already pounding from the jumpscare. The whole scene, monologue included, is a masterpiece

[@brandon6933]

Even more than that, the multiple scenes prior of Steven and the dad talking in the car lull you into thinking the car is safe. Mike Flanagan is a genius.

[@briangonigal3974]

I actually hate jumpscares, they’re almost always cheap & unearned and usually downright nonsensical if you actually think about it . But this? Just might have been the greatest jump scare in the history of cinema, and it’s just the capper on a series chock full of jump scares that are fully earned & valid.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

Been waiting for that JUMPSCARE for 8 weeks. 110% worth it xD

[@mickaeldesevepare6279]

Arianna scream makes me burst out laughing xD When you know it's coming hahaha

[@benmason9755]

Kate Siegel is SO CRIMINALLY OVERLOOKED in this show compared to the others. For most of the series her performance is a MASTERCLASS in subtlety, Theo has her little outbursts at times but usually she's quite reserved and stoic, but then in this one Kate finally got to truly UNLEASH and she's INCREDIBLE.

[@skychamber_studios]

she's incredible. Hush, Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, House of Usher...criminally underrated

[@Athasin]

Oh man that jumpscare was immaculate! And Arianna's second and third screams were just scream queen worthy 🤌

[@originalrockhead]

This is exactly why I love watching their reactions to horror shows/movies

[@justinehercthehuman]

I love Kate Siegel's monologue so much! What a woman. No wonder Mike Flanagan fell for her.

[@nadiacalembe1546]

No matter how many times I see it, I always cry.

[@jthomann71]

She has an even better one in Midnight Mass.

[@Quzga]

18:50 the jumpscare didn't disappoint! Thanks for my monthly intake of dopamine gals 😅 I need slomo replay!

[@Etticos.]

Lol if Arianna was driving during that moment she straight up woulda rolled the vehicle.

[@neilbrideau8520]

I can see Chad busy in another room when he hears the screams that he has been waiting for. Smiles to himself and has a little chuckle.

[@ImDerpyDuck]

The girls being like "THAT MUSTACHE IS A GHOST!" right from the start of the ep, good catch 😊

[@Karaokuma]

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the single best jump scare in the history of horror TV. Not only is it totally unexpected and make you jump and scream, but it's probably the most emotionally important moment in the entire series. No notes. Just pure brilliance.

[@DovahkiinMaster172]

The best jumpscare in the show followed by the best monologue? This show fucks hard.

[@Andorski]

18:51 It's the second scream from Arianna that gets me. 😂

[@killerkitkats6783]

The car seen had me a grown ass man clutching my blanket so hard and my neighbors probably wondering why a little girl just screamed from the movie room

[@Quzga]

Same! Usually jumpscares happens during silence or music in horror so I really didn't expect it during a heated argument! Now we get to enjoy others experience our pain lmao

[@destro6971]

This show balances horror and heartache like nothing else I’ve seen. Midnight Mass has better dialogues, my horror goth self looooves House of Usher, but this show just hurts my heart

[@sharpsmooter5041]

I lost my sister almost a year ago to cancer. She and I were very close a lot like Luke and Nell. This show always makes me think of her. The eulogy Luke gives gets me every time. I miss you Jaime.

[@barbadosslim]

Sorry for your loss.

[@xseasonxchangex]

That car jumpscare with Nell is a right of passage for this story. 😂 It got me so good when I first watched it. And the reveal about the clock and the treehouse? So good! I was impressed when you all realized he was out of place last episode. Good call! 👍Can't wait until you've finished this!

[@mjkjelland13]

I normally don't jump scare easily, and not bad when I do. But HOLY HELL, Headphone flew off, My cigarette launched out of my hand and hit the monitor, almost fell out of my seat, screamed like a little school girl and spent the next 20 seconds trying to compose myself, which of course led to several minutes of me laughing hysterically. I REALLY wish I had been recording it. because it would have been so funny to see me (6'4", 280lbs, Grizzly Adams lookalike) totally losing his shit. Then to follow it with Theo's EPIC monologue, always puts a tear in my eye every time.

[@skychamber_studios]

Little details like Mrs. Dudley not knowing which room the kids are talking about is such great writing. Also, would love to see you react to more of Flanigan's work, especially Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher!

[@King_Koolkaine]

When this had first released I tired binging it. I got tired and fell alseep at some point during this epsiode and when I tell you that THAT scene scared me awake! I was so confused thinking something had happened in my house lol! It's alwasy funny to see first time viewer reactions and this one didn't let down.

[@_Shadoh_]

Lol the double scream tho 🤣

[@M._R.]

I guess a lot of people (me included) waited for THAT moment :D Thanks for sharing :D

[@sammylane21]

It took us a while to get here but we're finally here, yay!

[@adamwebster1666]

Kudos to Arianna... you really screamed her half yer guts out, took a breath and finished the job, only to then watch in horror as the show punched you in the hole where your guts had been just a moment before. The jump scare is legendary, but that monologue on emptiness lives on and haunts me from the bottom of a deep well of depression lurking just behind me. Or was it just ahead of me around the next corner? Never can tell...

[@neonoires]

LMAO I tell this story on every reaction to this episode but I was watching this on a Friday night from 7 PM to around 5 AM and I thought I was familiar with this show's pattern of horror. The spooky stuff was more in the past and not the present so this whole episode being in the present just made me feel comfortable. It's about 3 AM and this jump scare happens. I had actual tears in my eyes.

[@mwalsh47]

I've been waiting for this one since you started this show. The jump scare to end all jump scares.

[@Coneyislandqueennn]

Was waiting for this jump scare

[@josephalbanese]

We all wait for the GOAT jump scare and you didn't disappoint. Kudos to your editor as well, love having you in black and white against the video.

[@stroudboi]

Watching the reaction to that part never gets old and never will 🫡

[@jcmclint]

That moment was probably the fastest I've gone from scared to tearing up over Theo's speech. Only other time I've mood switched that fast was teary eyed to dying laughing in Your Name.

[@JDBrockin]

The Nell jumpscare is probably the best one of the whole series. Devilishly, I was waiting for the reaction to it because it messed me up the first time I watched it, lol.

[@Kenosos]

I watch so many horror movies, and in all my adult life only one jumpscare has ever got me, this one.

[@steveclevenger5826]

There's a great compilation video of youtubers reactions to that jump scare. That video absolutely needs to be edited and republished to include Arianna screams!

[@jessieballpk]

I love the little clues that Flanagan leaves throughout the show. Especially the ones about the tree house - for example when Olivia is looking for Luke pretty early on in the show, Steve asks her if she's checked the tree house and she's very confused by this but we don't linger on the moment for too long. As more and more of these things happen (including a scene in this episode) where the adults are not sure what the kids are talking about, it starts to become easier to pick up on. That's where the fun started for me as a viewer who is obsessed with patterns and loves figuring out why certain moments are included/emphasised over others. I love a Chekhov's gun moment. Anyway, I'm being intentionally vague with my examples because this links to a reveal in episode 10 that I don't want to accidentally spoil. But wait... I just realised they've already watched the entire show it's just not up on youtube yet...

[@draibat]

screamed my oesophagus into space is a great line

[@danh8804]

Sweet Nell wanting her sisters to stop fighting :(

[@MrMin316]

One the best reactions to this jumpscare i have seen. This series is a masterpiece.

[@inmoviesempire]

I've been waiting for THAT jumpscare since episode 1 😅

[@Maria67362]

Omg saaaame I was giggling once I saw Shirley and Theo in the car 😂😂

[@inmoviesempire]

@@Maria67362 😅

[@sammylane21]

This series should have come with a discretion/warning for anybody with mental health issues because wow, this series hits on a lot of powerful issues. Shirley's monologue at the end was tear inducing about shame, emptiness etc.

[@IndySidhu88]

I love this channel so much and was looking forward to this one episode too! Love. @18:50!

[@benmason9755]

My gods ... Arianna's ALREADY so nervous and it's onlyt the intro ...

[@Anothy]

You can actually see the moment their eyes move to the left to see the ghost for the jump scare at 21:41. 😂😂

[@olgud.manega]

18:54 Doble scream almost so good like Gohan´s scream latin version

[@heyheyjk-la]

I was laying down on my couch when I watched this episode for the first time and when Nell just popped out and screamed it felt like I jumped so high I was going to hit the ceiling. Maybe the best jump scare of all time and your reaction was perfect. While it's not Mike Flanagan's best series, "The Midnight Club" - also on Netflix and geared more towards a YA audience so not as overall scary as his others - has an episode with like 10 jump scares all in a row. It's nuts.

[@number1fool]

This episode has one of the greatest and most little known jump scare in live media in my opinion

[@wavehellhole]

Chad straight up LIED if he said this show wasn’t scary 😂😂😂

[@adamwebster1666]

Nah.. This show aint scary. We seen scary a bajillion times. *This* show is in a whole different class. Downright haunting.

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

Shirley and Theo suffered the knocking/banging on the wall in the bedroom as kids and then it repeated as grown ups! I wish you two were wearing heart rate monitors during this episode!

[@BrandonWestfall]

LMFAO, the scene we were all waiting for. (Among the entire final episode)

[@macaronicism]

Everyone loves seeing people experience the car jumpscare for the first time, including me, but I also really enjoy the moment when Poppy is all of a sudden standing behind Luke there at the end - it often takes people a second to realise, and it's so satisfying! :D

[@Punkanova]

Honestly that jump scare is one of if not the best jump scare I’ve ever encountered! Even the actors didn’t know it was coming which is why their reaction is so genuine!

[@emune1111]

that was a genuine scream the actors did, she told the director if she could scare them and he said go for it lol

[@jhornacek]

The director told the actress to jump out before she was supposed to in the script.

[@emune1111]

@@jhornacek aw ok, I read wrong

[@jhornacek]

@@emune1111 I mean, you were half right. Theo and Shirley expected her to jump out after another page of dialogue, so they were literally surprised she jumped out at the moment when she did.

[@thefourty-yearoldgamer8289]

this show is so intense, and so good... I give you guys a ton of credit for toughing it out.. :D

[@maggie4028]

That jump scare gets me every single time! And the reveals in this show are so freaking good! Cinema! This show is so good!

[@thehorrorden]

I've been waiting to see you two react to that jumpscare since you started the series!!

[@drsavage3262]

Theos explanation of the event is grade a acting.

[@ChiefAWES0ME]

YYYEEEEESSSS! The best episode!🤍

[@Grumbo91]

Oh god, Arianna put her whole self behind that scream 😅

[@brianmcclain7861]

yes nell sitting in the backseat and coming up and telling them to the shut the f up love it

[@kateness8]

Ok so this show IS scary, for real. But when you look back all you really remember is the family drama and the tragedy. That’s how chat can say it’s not scary lol

[@tkthetank]

Most jump scares you can sense coming, that one hits people out of thin air and the reaction never disappoints. Arianna accidentally cementing herself as a scream queen during that jump scare 😂

[@DrewG-wd8ql]

I've waited 7 and 3/4 reactions for the last part of this episode. I have to tell you Maple and Arianna, you have made my halloween. I wondered how you would react and knew it would be epic by the way you were so into the conversations in both cars. Great Job Ladies!!!

[@TheDweller0690]

18:46 The best jump-scare ever put to screen. Convince me otherwise.

[@jennysutton7409]

That jumpscare was real for the actresess because yes the actress of Nell was meant to show up but she asked Mike the director/creator when to show up and he todl her to do it whenever it feels right for her. She actually showed up a lot sonner than was planned so she scared the actresess when doing so because they didn't expect it haha. I love that one it's the best jumpscare I have seen in a while and it also makes sense because she wanted thwm to stop fighting. Grate reaction girls and hope you had a good Holloween.

[@hannahlovescats91]

The Nell jumpscare is my favorite, she's telling her sisters to knock it off 😆I can relate! When me and my sister fight either with each other or with our mother (the twin brothers are never involved in an argument), I swear my dad makes his presence known! He passed away October 19th 2020 and he was the referee of the family and always made us talk it out. He obviously still doesn't like us fighting. It happens more often now that he's gone and mom's behavior is...something. She complains because he doesn't visit her anymore and I told her it's because she's done me and my sister terrible the last couple years, mainly me. I do look the most like my dad and I feel like she takes out her anger of him "leaving" her out on me. We see and hear him all the time. But mostly when we fight.

[@CX_ChrisChow]

you guys need to react to Midnight Mass and House of Usher after this, some of Mike Flanagan's best projects after Hill House

[@Jang9851]

Protected by white clean healthy light! LOL

[@Rastayeti666]

i am an atheist with my whole heart. I really think there is nothing after dead. But the description of Theo that this nothing could not just be nothing terryfies me till today and haunts me sometimes before sleep

[@zachnotzack4]

I feel like even if Shirl or Theo did the most despicable ish, Ari and Maple would still find a way to hate Steve the most 😂

[@littleqwerty]

As much as I loved seeing you two get scared, I would like to see you do “Throwback Thursdays” or “Flashback Fridays” and watch older shows like The O.C., Dawson’s Creek or Roswell. I want to see you route for “ships” and get happy or frustrated with the little dramas.

[@malacaimarbas2048]
