The Haunting of Hill House EP#7 REACTION!

[@JosieSchuller]

Mr. Dudley’s monologue is one of my favorite parts of this series.

[@susannariera]

he did an amazing job, great actor.

[@JosieSchuller]

@@susannariera Yes, he was amazing. I’ve heard that when they were shooting that scene all the crew and cast there that day applauded when he was done.

[@BatmanFanGirl]

Same. It's so good!

[@Lanzey]

Same 😢

[@arielb102011]

maybe is not my place but...

[@LulaLinz]

The Dad is such a great & intriguing character (I stand by what I said on the previous video about him being a great dad before the Mum's death) notice how many times he mentions 'I can fix this' throughout in the flashbacks & the one time he can't fix it (Mum's death) how much he completely crumbles yet he still continues to try in his own way by never revealing the full horror of it to his kids. Another reviewer pointed out that during Mr Dudley's monologue, the gentle hum of the lights in the background increase to a really loud buzz by the end being a great metaphor for how the house's malevolence creeps up on the family & they're unaware until it's completely overwhelming, like Olivia & her inability to discern reality from her 'dreams'

[@luc-i-guess]

Can I super like this comment

[@Serenity113]

That monologue by Mr Dudley. Omg he had me hooked in describing what was going on with clara etc. he was so good.

[@cuentasecundaria7956]

Oh man, the ending of this episode always gets my heart beating like crazy. The first time I watched it I tapped on the 'Next episode' button so hard I fucking dropped my phone.

[@MrDeadstu]

I wish there was more series like this, one season, one story - excellent quality. Too many series overstay their welcome because the show isn't going anywhere but they will not end it (cough... Walking Dead) OR they ending it SO badly, it ruins the rest of the series. (looking at you Game of Thrones)

[@indiatastic]

Dexter....

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

@@indiatastic Dexter is coming back for another season... takes place 8 years after the first series ended 👍🏻 there’s a teaser trailer out

[@mythagomusic5712]

Sharp Objects, Dublin Murders, True Detective, Mindhunter, Haunting of Bly Manor (second season of this), The Outsider, Castle Rock... There's actually a ton of series like this in terms of one season, one story, high quality. You just need to search a bit more for soe of them because they are not that well known.

[@allshookup1640]

I LOVED hill house but I was actually Really disappointed by Bly Manor! It was such a let down to me after such an AMAZING first series! I was expecting so much better personally. I was bored

[@MH-hv1gf]

The terror is a great show if you like contained but intricate stories

[@Imagination_Station2224]

Robert Longstreet (Mr. Dudley) became one of my favorite actors due solely because of his monologue in this episode. He was amazing in Doctor Sleep and I can't wait to see him in the upcoming Halloween movies!

[@Mallikinney]

Aw man since you missed one of the creepiest hidden ghosts in the entire show (with the long white hair, behind the wall when the Dad leans in to look at the body) you really got to react to a video pointing out all of the hidden ghosts!

[@SirGeeSantos]

I was really expecting them to see it, it's one of the easiest, and they had caught a hard one right before

[@DIDDLOTIC]

I was waiting this whole episode for them to see that

[@lizcatty9281]

Absolutely, this is what I came 2 the comment section 2 say! ❤🇦🇺

[@Cujo4169]

Lmao that ghost was really like “well hello there”

[@NinjaBee81]

Omg I never saw that before! And I have watched this show three times.😅

[@ana-mg6ju]

15:28 that ghost in the background 👀🙈 so creepy!

[@lewlew873]

no one ever sees her (both times) ,and she's my fav.

[@cassandramcbride7007]

and we are proud of our boys, using such horror references while watching other horror movies. the pop tongue....

[@Fabina4190]

I can’t wait for y’all to hear about the red room. It’s one of the moments in this show I wish I could rewatch for the first time all over again

[@gccurry1]

Mr. Dudley’s monologue is so well written and acted and tells you so much. The writers know how to make every single character important

[@Burto11]

Next episode has *that scene* and I can't wait for the reaction. Great review as always 👍

[@singbluesilver1973]

Roll on Thursday! Lol.

[@GabrielleBraswell]

OMG I can't wait to see their reactions 😂😂😂😂

[@nofishinmydiet]

I love that monologue and his delivery of it. There's another great monologue coming up that's just as good if not even better. Ugh, I can't wait for the next episode!

[@bura19]

After you complete the series, I'd suggest watching a reveal of every hidden ghost you may have missed in each episode. It's worth it.

[@kcw1963]

Did you know the guy playing the younger dad role is the boy from ET?

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

Henry Thomas

[@ArthurKnight1899]

WHAT??? that so cool!

[@BatmanFanGirl]

Honestly this show is about emotional trauma in a family that just happens to take place in a haunted house that makes it have horror elements. I think if you look at this show as hardcore horror, you'd be disappointed. The story is more important than the scaring you. Which in my opinion makes it way better.

[@zombiemom7378]

That monologue by Mr. Dudley is amazing. So well delivered. There are so many gem moments in this whole series. I just love it!

[@mrPattinson4ever]

I haven't seen any comments about this in any of the videos for this series, so I just have to recommend reacting to The Haunting of Bly Manor after this! It's not a sequel per se but a lot of the actors from this series is in it, just playing different characters. It's so well done, maybe a little less scary than this one, but so good with a really cool plot/storyline

[@Ninchennase]

Absolute YES

[@nightmeds3339]

they’ve reacted to it already. actually all of this. they were just originally uploaded on patreon and only *now* are releasing the reactions on youtube. they also mentioned in a previous video that they’ll upload bly manor soon after they finish hill house. if you want to watch bly manor and the rest of the hill house episodes, they’re already up on their patreon.

[@mrPattinson4ever]

@@nightmeds3339 ah nice! I knew these were already up on their patreon, but not Bly Manor. Thanks for letting me know!

[@Evil_Vegan]

18:12 my 2nd favorite ending of the series (after Steven Sees a Ghost); the interrogation scene, intercut with Hugh running, building up to a great cliffhanger

[@jgarcia4721]

These last couple of episodes are monologue heavy, but they add to the haunting aspect of the series.

[@nofishinmydiet]

The next monologue is one of my favorites

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

God,l love these guys-l love seeing and hearing Tom and Shaun in the videos they make.They’re like two old friends l’ve never met yet l feel like I know them so well.God bless these two British fellows for putting out these videos.

[@lunacouer]

This is the first time I realized the fan was off before Stephen went to unplug it! I figured the house did it, but I didn't catch the visual cue until you said something. I love watching these. It's causing me to catch things I missed the first time. And your ability to guess what's coming or their motivations is uncanny.

[@tjfrizzi5965]

This is a really great episode for "Hugh" aka The Dad. Trying to be there for his kids after one dies. But he just can not do anything because they are just so broken away from him and trying to deal with their lives by themselves. Really he was trying to protect them, but you can tell how horrible he is because he SHOULD have told them the truth... Great drama!

[@indiepunkftw]

15:28 - Ghost lady in the background 🙀

[@garyglaser4998]

The moment that caused me the most angst in the entire series is Hugh putting his hand in the fan.

[@UnveiledAngel]

I stuck my finger in a metal fan when I was little and moving it. It didn't bleed but was deep enough to leave a small scar over 30 years later. So that scene brings back some memories.

[@magicmanagedandmore]

The white face peaking around the corner got me pretty good 15:28

[@jetziiophelia9757]

Loved this episode. My heart breaks for Hugh. And I loved the scene with Mr. Dudley.!

[@CMinorOp67]

THIS is the episode where the long blonde hair girl ghost is hanging out in different areas (of the cellar) in soooo many of the basement shots. So freaking freaky. Like, at 15:27, she’s behind the free-standing shelf on the left, peeking over the top. And, at 15:28, she’s peeking around the corner. 15:37, she is standing behind the cop in the doorway. You can even see her hand.😬

[@scruffymuffin6147]

Luke and his speeches!!! Argh can’t get enough so powerful!

[@homeiswhereukeepurdealtho]

there's a little monologue next episode that always hits close to home for me, its both raw, haunting and to the core, and yet like the sea washing away something heavy uve been carrying for so long, and somewhat u (me) feel seen. oh, it twists my heart every single time.

[@LawNerd24]

An interesting Abigail hint, Mr Dudley said it was his first little girl's cry. We assumed he meant his little girl's first cry.

[@steved1135]

Love watching you guys break things down after the episode. You both have such a keen knowledge of narrative structure, and both are astute observers. Fabulous.

[@nan8975]

I live for their excitement every time the episode ends 🤣

[@andiee4163]

one of the stories in the reddit thread I shared on one of your other HOHH videos discusses a story from a boys point of view- it’s theorized Mr. Dudley is William Hill’s illegitimate child. He never speaks of his father, and he grew up on the grounds with his mother. William had a fling with his mother. When she was “losing it”, running naked at night sneaking in the woods and “whispering as if to a suitor”, it’s theorized she and William would sneak into the woods together. 👀

[@pantlessreactions]

This episode was so amazing.... it showed a burial that WASN'T during a rain storm

[@amydubuque2894]

Me dudleys monologue is one of my favorites of the whole show. Always brings me to tears. And then Luke's ecology gets me so hard too

[@stephy_bear]

Something I didn't notice at first- the statues at hill house turn their head in the direction of the family to watch them...😨

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

OH MY GOD AT 3:45 there is a ghost orb that falls down in middle of screen and floats to the right off screen, super scary super spoopy

[@MindfulMya]

Yep this show loves to keep ya on your toes. It’s very good at hooking ya in and you can see why we binged it lol 😂 the Dudley monologue is incredible. Also the fixing metaphor is jus so true to our natures as human beings we want to fix so much. And we can’t fix it or change things out of our control.

[@cottagepie1]

That ghost, when he finds the body in the wall

[@everausten]

A good monologue is a Mike Flanagan signature. Through all his work, Mr Dudley's monologue is my favourite. And that's including Bly Manor which I liked even more than the brilliant Hill House. Also, this was the first time that I saw the white, long-haired lady peering around the corner while Hugh is smashing down the bricks to find the skeleton. That's the creepiest background ghostie I've seen on this show ✨💛✨

[@Evil_Vegan]

15:30 my favorite apparition in the back with the long white hair

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

Mr. Dudleys monologue and Luke’s eulogy 💔

[@m4tth3w967]

Lmao solid effort on the -bleeps- 😆 13:27

[@GhoulishGwyn]

So ready for *that* jump scare in episode 8.

[@serpentsepia6638]

Watching you guys react to this puts a big smile on my face.

[@fractaljack210]

Another good episode. Not on the level of the last, but very well crafted. A new suggestion: In the Mouths of Madness.

[@abbyrosec753]

Love these videos and how perceptive you guys are! This is a 10/10 series for me so I’m excited to hear the rest of your thoughts :)

[@isabelboogel]

Oh no you missed the ghost @ 15:28

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Tom! Thanks, Shaun! 😱

[@BenRai2k]

'this is a bad idea because people will do green screen to us' hahaha

[@vincegay986]

Enjoying your reactions. One suggestion, though, when reacting in the future to movies and series that are in the same vein as this one: maybe focus just a little bit less on trying to solve the show’s mysteries and predict its outcome in advance. Maybe focus a bit more on just the experience of the watch. Among this show’s greatest strengths is its ability to inspire dread from the first frame and first spoken line, to spook us, creep us out, get us the kind of scared we used to get when, as kids, we heard ghost stories around campfires (if we were lucky enough to have that experience, and then be too terrified to sleep). The appearances of the bowler-hat man and the Bent-Neck Lady, the Bent-Neck Lady revelation; etc, etc are that kind of scary, no matter how little or how much we understand about them. Also: getting into the flow of the pace of this series as a whole-somewhere between a slow burn and fast-paced action-is a lot of the fun of appreciating this series. It’s the pace of someone who’s really good at telling ghost stories around camp fires.

[@StephenTuplin]

15:27!!!!!!! THE HIDDEN GHOSTS ARE CREEPY AS HELL!!!!

[@peeweewallabowski7084]

The music at the end of this episode is haunting

[@TheGoodLad89]

Enjoying watching this Series along with you guys

[@kevinthomas7226]

Not sure if u know but Henry Thomas that was the dad is who portrayed jack Torrance in Dr Sleep

[@takemyshirtoffandsingtome2112]

15:28 I’m surprised y’all didn’t see that by the light

[@dazd6267]

Look 11:12 the shadow watching them. Even watching them watch just freaked me out

[@jennyb9017]

15:29 in case you guys missed it in the background 👀

[@PuppetMaster-Blade]

15:28 ghost behind wall

[@iamwolfboy]

I would love it if you guys could react & review Mindhunter (on Netflix)

[@amyfrench8678]

If you keep going with your Oscar winning categories you should check out Ordinary People (1980). Timothy Hutton (Hugh, the father in this) won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in that film. At the age of 20, it made him the youngest winner in that category and I believe that record still stands today.

[@goodowner5000]

YES!

[@drockherb2073]

Can’t wait for the last few shows 🙏🏼🙏🏼 they are so freaking good

[@pgiffon]

I think a big thing with this series is patience and trusting the show to give you the answers and play out at its own pace. Mike Flanagan perfectly crafted every part of this series and I find a lot of people trying to rush certain aspects which is a natural feeling but also I think it’s just important to let the story reveal bit by bit as intended especially since this is more of a family drama about grief than it is a horror series. The horror is really just a feature to help symbolize the trauma within this family. Also side note the hidden ghost in this episode that’s in the basement is the one that scared me the most😱

[@BatmanFanGirl]

This is very similar to what I commented. Agree 100%.

[@wolfishxwillow]

It is just so fun to watch these videos! Not sure where this episode ranks overall with the others. I think Theo's might be my favorite up to this point. But that monologue! It gets me every time that I watch it. Plus, the tension with the present-day family is so good. Looking forward to your thoughts on the next one!

[@scarlettmi]

Mr. Dudley's monologue is one of my favourite moments in the series. It just shows off how every actor on this show is given a chance to shine and every character has a depth of their own, even in the supporting roles.

[@wolfishxwillow]

@@scarlettmi It really does! Such a well put together production

[@michaelpurdy2023]

First off, you guys are amazing! You have no idea how happy I get when you post a new video. According to Google, there are about 500,000 films that are currently still in existence. That should give you enough material to work with for the next several decades. Keep up the great work! Now, secondly, thank you, thank you, thank you for straightening the two small pictures on the wall in the background. I'm a little OCD and if you hadn't sorted them out, I was going to pack my laser level, jump on the next Concorde to London and straightened them myself. Now I can move on to something else. BTW, when Shaun does his laundry, does he sort his shirts alphabetically, by geographic region or by brand name. Just curious.

[@tamiahenry1378]

15:28 GHOST! GHOST!

[@sweetkiss119]

Theo is the best character by far.

[@mclovin8435]

so excited for the next episode

[@rodrigofoli]

I was just watching your reaction to the 2nd episode and remembered this: after watching the whole series, you guys could look up for a video that shows hidden ghosts throughout the show...There are A LOT of scary things hidden in the background Edit: just realized you guys talked about it on episode 2 reaction but I really suggest you to watch a video compilation of all the ghosts, there are some that we would never find

[@francisaguilera4974]

Another good episode, for a great show. Gretings from Chile 🇨🇱

[@keavabonner1625]

Y'all missed the ghost peeking around the corner when the dad found the body behind the wall

[@tylerdurden343]

Loving these!

[@joebarry1855]

at 15:29 you can see the woman in the background right before he looks through the bricks to see the skeleton

[@diegobertotti5321]

You guys must react to Dark from Netflix!

[@heaven77ish]

Waiting for this reaction is like killing me. Ahhhhhh

[@inspectahdex]

Since y'all didn't see it, pause at 15:28 ;)

Go back and look.. when he found the body in the wall.. you missed the face in the back right of screen!

[@TheDragonsRose]

15:29 you missed a ghost!

[@BluDemonOzzy]

Here's a question. How do you think this series matches up against the first season of American Horror story ...that would be kind of cool if you each pick a movie similar to each other and debate to see which is better. (Maybe you do this on the podcast, I'm not sure)

[@seagull8415]

AHS is camp trashy nonsense, not scary at all. The only good thing is the opening credits.

[@BatmanFanGirl]

@@seagull8415 I liked the first season, but it certainly isn't on the level of writing and story that this is.

[@yoderaj26]

I am going to make a suggestion that probably many others have made. But I would absolutley love to watch you react to the Netflix series Dark. I truly do believe you would both enjoy it. Loving the reactions guys! Thank you for the great content!

[@littleboxxes]

It's ok to cry, guys

[@HauntedHeme13]

Solid "Among Us" cosplay for the opening there

[@emilymullins2725]

Okay but did you see the woman's face in the final scenes in the basement? Because when I first saw it I lost my shit

[@pauldarrenmcclung1]

Patiently waiting for SAW 2 Reaction 😁. Love your videos😄😄

[@scottfurrow577]

Hey guys, off topic- have you thought about old comedies? Blazing Saddles, Airplane, Young Frankenstein, Clue? If you haven't seen them, think about it!

[@lynnie6633]

Hey guys, thought you were getting rid of the couch???? BTW, the episodes just keep getting better and better now till the end!

[@goodowner5000]

The "Haunting" reactions were filmed months ago for their Patreon members, I believe. The new couch was in yesterday's "Event Horizon" reaction.

[@wehaveadarkside]

shaun is so into it, i love it

[@HopelessWolves]

Are you gonna check out season 2 as well??? jkjk... unless?? Season 2 is just as good you should watch it!!!!

[@chuyitoortega6932]

You should definitely react to bly manor next

[@Tedakin]

Absolutely. I think I liked it more than Hill House.

[@Vincisomething]

Definitely

[@VeelouC]

I dont think thats a good idea, Bly Manor isn’t scary, they watch these for the horror.

[@rodrigofoli]

@@Tedakin Me too. But i think it's a matter of taste... Both of them are incredible

[@OpalSpring]

@@VeelouC I mean, they've watched other things that aren't horror. They may end up enjoying the story!

[@mugger1]

Check out 'highlander' 1986 with Sean Connery, i think you guys will like it.

[@izzyrodriguezz]

Are you guys thinking of reacting to Haunting of Bly Manor after this?

[@MandyEngbers]

Loved every single episode but if I would have to choose, I would say episode 2 and 7 are my least favorite. I think the best ones are 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10. 10 is soooo satisfying because there is nothing left unanswered and it has so much suspense and emotions. Absolutely loved the whole series! Would rate this my favorite show of all time!

[@BatmanFanGirl]

I think 2 is the only one I somewhat find boring. And I think it's because I find Shirley boring. LOL

[@MandyEngbers]

@@BatmanFanGirl I fully agree! Haha
