Nostalgic memories I love the actress that played her, she’s so good. & Luke had my heart because he knew what was going on, but no one believed him, just like no one believed Nell and I always felt so bad for him. & how he went down the wrong path
One of the most heartbreaking moments was when Theo was explaining how she touched Nell and felt nothing.. This show was INCREDIBLY written, I don’t think anything can top this.
I cried throughout whole episode. I don't understand how they did it, but this show was not only scary on the basic horror level, but more importantly it was emotionally scary. Maybe it's the way they portrayed all the characters that made me feel somehow attached to them... I don't know. All I know is that I have never cried this much watching a horror.
@@asias950 This is what happens when you can dedicate 10 hours to tell a story instead of only 2 like most movies. Gives lots of time for character development so that you actually end up caring what happens to all of them.
I don't know if this is coincidence or intended, but during the Bent Neck Lady episode I think that Nell realized that Luke would never stop using while she was taking her meds because of the Twin Thing they got going on. Ever since Nell stopped taking her meds, Luke stopped using as well.
This horror movie is trying to give psychological horror rather than we see in most horror movies like horror faces blood coming from the eyes etc scene.. this movie has nothing these things, but still giving us horror.
The song. I had loved that song for Years and ever since that scene, the two are intertwined. That f*cking scene haunts me whenever I get the song stuck in my head! I both love it and hate it. 😢
Can people stop saying Nell killed herself please. Nell thought she was putting on a necklace, she didn't intend to kill herself, nor did the house kill her, not directly anyways, the house tricked Olivia, and Olivia gave Nell a push, she didn't jump, she didn't even realize what she was doing until she fell and passed. Nell wasn't weak, she'd always fought through her fears, she wasn't going there to kill herself, she went there on the therapist's suggestion that "it was just a house", and she'd realize that if she went back. Nell although feeling somewhat a sense of relief from dying in some ways, didn't want to die - she loved her family, Luke especially, and wouldn't have put them through that pain.
@@bronteyoung6033 Yeah if you re-watch the scene again she's putting on the necklace and then it's cuts to a shot of her with the noose around her neck, I think I was "lucky" enough to catch it the first time and be like "no, no, no, NO!" It's weird, the more you watch the show the more you notice, a lot more than the things listed in here, it's a fantastic show.
Just wanted to ask you this. So Abigail wasn't an imaginery friend after all? If she was real then how come no one else in the family never really saw her except Luke?
Idk if you remember, but in one episode, were Hugh, Olivia and The Twins were looking through some boxes near the stairs in the library, Olivia points at ropes hanging on the top of staircase in library and says to Hugh something like: You better clean up these, because I can see a few bodies hanging there. And well, we all know...
Elizabeth Reaser who plays Shirley also plays Esme Cullen in Twilight. In The Haunting of Hill House Shirley’s husband Kevin says she should send Nell’s body to Carlisle because he’ll do a great job. Esme Cullen was married to Carlisle Cullen in Twilight. Shirley also named the first dead kitten Jasper when she was younger. Esme Cullen has an adopted son named Jasper Hale.
It bugs me the narrator keeps saying Nell killed herself. Nell didn't kill herself. She was pushed, and tricked by illusion of the necklace to put the noose on.
@@Wochu-nx4fg yeah she was tricked by her mother. Remember before Luke came back to life he was with his mother and young Nell and Abigail. She was trying to keep him there which means she wanted to kill all of them so that they can be with him forever in their forever home. She even has this scene in the end with Elder Hugh where she says that this Hill House is their forever home and they all should be in here. She was brainwashed by the ghost of Poppy( the mad wife of the mad guy, William Hill). The porch light we see blinking twice was actually their mom calling them in, not the house, because it was her rule. That's what I feel.
@@syedatahera2914I understand what you mean, but she didn't have any intention to kill herself. Even in the scene where she died she didn't realize what's happening until she was falling so how can anyone say that she killed herself if she didnt know she was on the other side of the rail before she was already falling. When she come to the house she also was with her whole family although they were all alive, so all of it was a lie simply to trick them
most foreshadowing to me was when Olivia held young luke and nell and just blinked and suddenly Hugh held Luke while Nell was still in her arms and that was already when she was fearing losing them. Hugh took Luke but Nell stayed with Olivia just like in the future
This was a great catch. I got that it was a creepy thing to say. But the fact Nell staying with mom meant that she was gonna die and stay with mom cause she wanted to “freeze them like that forever” is just haunting 💀
not to mention when Steve talked about the dressing table he found in the "game room" and Mrs. Dudley asked him where the room is and she got no answer.
Olivia murdered Nell. She didn't deliberately fall. I don't know why people insist she did. Olivia gave her a push the same way she was given a little ghostly push.
Yeah, Olivia was driven to kill herself by Poppy, who was going to push her but didn't. Olivia made the initial fall herself so I can see how that's a suicide. Nell on the other hand was murdered. She went to the house to face her fears and had no intention of committing suicide. Olivia tricked her into putting on the noose by making it look like a necklace and pretty much moving her to the edge. When Nell realises this she looks absolutely terrified and calls for her mother, but is pretty much pushed. She wouldn't have died had Olivia not tricked her.
For the fourth one Nell was telling Mrs. Dudley about her cup of stars and that she found it in the play room and Mrs. Dudley was like, the play room? I'm surprised that one wasn't in here
Meg C even when Luke and Shirley were arguing because Luke wanted to give Shirley's clothes to Abigail, Olivia says she will go to the reading room and Luke asks, "Where is the reading room?"
Why is no one talking about how gangsta Hugh was and how he protected his children (as best he could). He was the only who was not afraid of the ghosts. He should have told them the truth but other than that, he was the real MVP! Also, Luke's speech at Nell's funeral was my favorite moment of all!!! I loved this show!
The whole “two storms” episode being filmed in many really long one takes with one lasting over 17-minutes shows how well filmed and professional the cast and crew of this show really were. One of the best things I have seen on film in my life!!
The bent-neck-lady/Nell storyline was the most mind-blowing, terrifying and brilliant thing I've watched. Edit: Jesus effing Christ, you praise a series and you get attacked. Is this seriously the world nowadays? Get a life everyone.
Yeah, this was explicitly explained. First shown with his seven army men around the picture of the monster in the hidden basement, and then fully explained to his sister with her buttons.
There are seven steps between twins' beds; Luke takes seven steps to reach his sister's bed as you can see in the same episode where Luke tells her sister to count to seven whenever she's afraid. This is the reason why Luke counts seven steps every time he's afraid. That's the Easter egg.
Am I the only one who also remembers the two taps on the clock? Nell does it while on the car and then the porch light flashes two. Maybe just a coincidence?
Another one, is that Olivia starts getting her migraines again at Hill House. But they aren’t “color storms” it is just black darkness. Also, she always touches the same side of her head when they start. It is the same side that gets smashed when she jumps and unalives herself. The migraines are a foreshadowing of what’s to come
Honestly, this show was a masterpiece. They kept like a million different little threads all going at the same time. Best horror show ever, without a doubt.
They've tried so hard to enter to the mysterious room, when in fact those folks had been in there for multiple times without noticing it. It's mind blowing, actually. They were creeping each other without knowing.
I was fine through the entire show except this episode! We had 6 people in the living room watching this. I screamed cause it got me and made everyone else jump!
@@kcallamajaji There's a story posted by one of the writers on r/nosleep on reddit. Those are apparently the dogs owned by Mr. Hill who were later killed.
@@EmmaKay1000 Apparently if there is going to be a second season its going to be a completely different story with different characters. Would be kind of cool if it became a bit like AHS and kept the actors for different roles.
Danny Nguyen I still think that it was Poppy. I mean she manipulated Olivia into talking with her kids that weren’t there also Poppy manipulates Olivia into killing the Dudley’s kid.
Mintea she didn’t jump off, its not up for debate Olivia pushed Nell, therefore being murdered by her mother, obviously to the outside world its gonna look like suicide
Too bad if they decide to make a sequel to this show this family won’t be in it :( It is said that they have already told their story and is satisfied with how they ended it so the next will feature a whole new family
the dogs were in the book and the book never explained it either. They don't know either they just included it because it was directly from the book. im assuming it was just the house playing on there fears. @Desolate Domino
They’ve said if there’s a second season that a lot of the original cast will return, but not as the same characters. They’ll return as new characters with a new story line. Kind of like American Horror Story does. I like that idea. It’s kind of like a series of shorts except each story has its own season, and the mystery is solved by the end (instead of leaving us waiting on a cliff until it comes back). It’s satisfying to me to end it knowing all of the secrets and answers, then starting a new story! Keeps me interested. It does suck that we won’t be seeing any more of this family, but I’m excited to see new stuff.
What do you think about the family members also representing the seven deadly sins. Steve - greed Luke - gluttony Shirley- envy Theo - lust Nell - sloth Olivia - wrath Hugh - pride
Here is the meaning of sloth in biblical terms sourced from Wikipedia Sloth is one of the seven capital sins. It is the most difficult sin to define, and to credit as sin, since it refers to a peculiar jumble of notions, dating from antiquity and including mental, spiritual, pathological, and physical states. One definition is: a habitual disinclination to exertion. She was the only sibling trying to keep the peace. As her mental, spiritual and physical state declined. She isolated herself after her last effort to keep the peace. As well sloth and gluttony are very similar state of minds in general. So that kind of adds to my idea. I could be completely wrong but I think I'm close. Nell was the hardest for me to place in the deadly sins for sure.
Matthew Dardick I agree Nell is the hardest to place. When I think of the sin sloth I think of deliberately lazy people. I don’t see that at all in Nell... I see depression more so considering she killed herself and went through a deep depression when her husband died.
@@mousemiot I see your point. Though laziness is a form of depression and falls in the same category. Considering it's a mental state it certainly couldn't be completely realized yet. Sloth can take many forms. Her sleep paralysis for one is meant to slow her down and progresses her depression. My point is you don't have to be inherently lazy to be slothful.
@@4Ts20 one time I remember off hand is when the adult father and son are upstairs in one of the episodes near the end. They are standing between the statues on the second floor. It completely reminded me of the statues in Doctor who and I watched them. It happens with a camera angle change. It goes from on them to down the hall I think then when it's on them again the statue is looking at them, if I recall correctly.
I just finished the show today I still remember the car scene. When the two sisters where fighting I was like SHUT UP and then the jumpscare happened. It was a relief.
I picked up on the 5 stages of mourning when I was watching it. However, I thought that Luke would be bargaining as he's constantly pleading with someone for something. I figured Theo for depression as she just seems constantly depressed and isolated.
TheRepty818 What’s important in distinguishing between them is the order of the five stages of depression. Bargaining is the third stage: Theo is the third-born and her episode number is three. Depression is the fourth stage: Luke is fourth-born (the older of the twins) and his episode number is four.
Threadbare_Saint Yes, I understand not everyone experiences grief the same way. I’m referencing the model Elisabeth Kübler-Ross originally put forth in her book. And when you learn about grief, the five stages *are* taught in that order. The order of the episodes and the birth order of the Crain kids obviously mimics the model.
I've never seen better writing in my life. I finished this series a few months ago, and I'm almost done watching it again. I pray we get a good 2nd season.
One of the moments I liked about the show was when young Nell reappeared after she went missing, she told other family members that she was right there, screaming but none of them heard her and how well that was synced with view of her casket. In adult life also, the same happened - she was screaming of pain but other family members didn't heard her.
Also, now it makes sense why Olivia kept wanting to kill her children by bringing them back to the house like what she did to Nell cuz she was manipulated by the villain ghost, Poppy. To Olivia, she and her children are constantly living in this nightmare that she wanted them to wake up from and the only method is to kill them. And notice, not all the ghosts in the house are bad. Hazel hill, the old grandma ghost that lived in the master bedroom did warn Olivia about Poppy, telling her that she is a liar and she shouldn't trust her.
Along with the background ghosts, in every room of the house, there are face like images on the walls. In the wallpaper, the mold, the wood paneling. It’s like the house itself is watching everything unfold.
This show is absolutely incredible, as is the entire haunting series! The script was so well crafted. So much detail was put into this show. The storyline and the acting is amazing! Definitely one of my favorite shows of all time!!
This is what made the show so great - small details done to unnerve you and makes you question if you're seeing things. It makes use of real life horror (dealing with mental illness) to create a great show
Can't get enough of the show... I keep watching it again and again. It's not creepy in a conventional way, it rather plays with your emotion and logical mind. I got so attached to the characters that I feel like I can't let them go!
I see what all the hype was about now finally watching the show myself. As most people are stating, the writing is just top notch. Not only did the show manage to be creepy without being too cliche, it had so much emotion packed in it. I never expected to get emotional so much during what I thought was essentially a horror series. But it was beautiful more than anything I think. All the actors did great including the children though I have to say my favorite was the adult actress who played Nell. I haven't looked up her name yet but her arc in the show combined with the actor playing her was just incredible I thought. Episode 5 was so heartbreaking..
@@lovely1641 I completely forgot I even commented about this show lol. But I agree except take it a step even further in that I'd say most modern television in general is very shallow. Not to say there isn't a lot of great things but I believe there's far more worse series than good ones
about the 5 stages of depression, in episode 4 (if im not wrong) Luke mentions he never gets past stage 4, Luke is the 4th crain kid and represents the 4th stage of grieve, thats just a lil hint that not many people seem to notice
One thing that I've noticed is that Nell's therapist is played by Russ Tamblyn who played Luke in the original 1963 movie "The Haunting". Another thing (for those who have seen the 1963 version) is Mrs Dudley's line in the movie "In the night...In the dark" which is pronounced exactly the same by Annabeth Gish in the Netflix series. I loved that reference because "The Haunting" is one of my favorite ghost movies.
@Ecumenopolis Just a speculation, I like entertaining different theories and people's perspectives, adds a whole new dynamic to the show, kinda gives it more life even if it's concluded. Yeah I figured it wouldn't be the Craine family if they continued the show, looking forward to seeing where they go with the series none the less.
I heard it originally was the ending with that thin window in the background and they even filmed it that way but covered up the window with a picture instead... so they'd have a happy ending.
This is definitely one of those shows that is incredible on the first watch, but can also be watched time and time again. Each time I've watched it, I've picked up on a few more little bits of info. An outstanding show!
I think that the poem that Poppy sings is an explanation to how the family died in Hill House who just so happen to be the people who are haunting the house.
I knew something was up with those rooms because Mrs Dudley was confused when Nell brought up the toy room and Steve brought up the game room. I love the way the story was told. Finally something a little different!
Episode 5 was probably my favorite, but 6 was good as well. I like how episode 6 was made to look like one seamless shot for most of the episode. Also, in ep. 6 when Olivia is searching for Nell, she walks down the hallway that has two large statues at the mouth of it. She enters a room, closes the leaking chimney flu, and then exits the room. Looking closely, one will notice that one of the statues at the end of the hall has been turned opposite the way it was facing prior to Olivia entering the room. Subtle yet spooky. People who don't notice the turned statue will still likely feel uneasy, but might not know why.
I haven't seen this cool secret in your guys` video: In the later episodes, where Olivia speaks to the husband, BEFORE the night, they keep entering and exiting the twins room. And there are two statues there. And one of the statue (the left one) looks at Olivia (To its right side) and then looks ahead, in different shots.
I thought that was going to be a jump scare, since Hugh was getting closer and closer to the wall. My boyfriend didn't see anything, I had to pause for him to see.
*But what is the story of the hill family(the ghosts in the hill house) wonder what happened in that house before this family came in.* Gosh many ghosts in one house..i can't even imagine stepping in such a house 😖
There were also hints that Nell was the bent lady before it was actually revealed during shots when she had head tilted towards her shoulder. Good example of that would be during her wedding when she was slow dancing with brother.
remember when luke was asking shirl to share her clothes with abigail and mom came to the kitchen to take the pills. when she said to the kids that she'll be in the reading room, luke was like what? where is mom's reading room?
I was scared the first time I watched hill house, I was terrified. The second time, I was heartbroken. The third time, it made we want to be better to the people I care about.
Other than the main victims (Nellie or Luke), every characters situation made me cry especially Theo's who was so broken. I literally cried watching this show.
LOL I thought Luc's cake actually was celebrating 2 days of sobriety Nell: The house lights up yellow and orange, warm colours= welcome Luc: The house lights up red= Not welcome I wish they did more with the clock repair person, it felt like they revealed that aspect to early
The lighting is never discussed but to me, it unlocks the entire show! The warm yellow/orangeish lighting is used when the house is tricking them or they're hallucinating
i pretty much cried every ep, so its not scary for me. cuz sadness and compassion are much stronger than fear. also horny but... not this case. Nell got me the most. all she want is for her family to believe her. such a small thing to do for your love ones, but we often dont do it. btw she didnt suicide, she was killed by the ghost. people blame those suicide as selfish, but do they really pay enough attention at what those people hav been though? not that theres more painful thing so their pain is not pain, and not everyone know how to call help. or sometimes they called, just no one answered.
One thing I noticed as well is Theo's hands and how it portrays emotion. Her clairvoyance is triggered through touch. Whenever she touches things, she feels whatever emotion was felt by that person or within that object. Theo feels too much after a while and becomes overwhelmed by it all, which prompts her to wear gloves all the time. This could also mean she's shielding her true feelings, which could be why she's so emotionless all the time, she's putting up barriers metaphorically and literally. She essentially receives and expels emotion through her hands. Remember when she had that breakdown in episode 8 after the jumpscare? She used an excessive amount of hand gestures.
When child Theodora open the door of the cellar between steps see a white face, like a mask, for one second, after that he disappear. In the same episode you use in video a photo but with Theo's back. Nice show, not so scarry, but emotionall dramatic and strong.
Young Luke had my heart. I wanted to hug him every time he was scared.
idk he kinda annoyed me, theo was my fav from young kids. so smart, so way ahead of her age
same, he was so adorable
Nostalgic memories I love the actress that played her, she’s so good. & Luke had my heart because he knew what was going on, but no one believed him, just like no one believed Nell and I always felt so bad for him. & how he went down the wrong path
same😍

Yuri Hime and EVERY monologue was just incredible.
Agreed
Sameeeeee hereeeeee!!!!! My goodness!!!
I wish she had been able to see that so at least one of them knew what exactly happened.
Why she didn't feel any thing?
I just wanted to hug Luke and Nell so hard. When he was like I'm so cold and it was because Nell was dead :'(
Notice he was having a real bad neck pain as well.
@@ernestoc153 I did not notice that. Why are you doing this to me?! 😭😭

Nell's "sleep paralysis" is just her remembering what it felt like to be dead and embalmed; unable to move with her jaw literally wired shut.
MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

I caught that too.
Wiktoria Michalska yup And I thought it would be in this video. Well m not the only one to notice it 😁
I caught onto that too as soon as she said it. It almost ruined it for me hahaha
When she said that I immediately thought about the bent neck lady... Didn't expect to be someone in the family though
my favorite character for some reason is Luke. i really felt for him.

@@Wochu-nx4fg yeah she was tricked by her mother. Remember before Luke came back to life he was with his mother and young Nell and Abigail.

This was a great catch. I got that it was a creepy thing to say. But the fact Nell staying with mom meant that she was gonna die and stay with mom cause she wanted to “freeze them like that forever” is just haunting 💀
I saw that too!! This show is so well done
There is a scene where Olivia says she’s going to her reading room and the kids say something like “I didn’t know mom had a reading room???”
Genna Kale yeah when olivia had a headache and luke and shirley are arguing
Where is moms reading room sabi
not to mention when Steve talked about the dressing table he found in the "game room" and Mrs. Dudley asked him where the room is and she got no answer.
yeah young Luke says “which one’s Mom’s reading room?”
yup
Olivia murdered Nell. She didn't deliberately fall. I don't know why people insist she did. Olivia gave her a push the same way she was given a little ghostly push.
The writers even explained this. Neither would have died without the "push"
Yes. Olivia didn't see it as murder, though. Poppy made her believe that she was "saving" them by keeping them safe at home with her forever.
Yeah I have no idea why people keep saying they killed themselves.
I see it as the house and it’s ideals murdered Nell, it simply poisoned and used Olivia to do so
Yeah, Olivia was driven to kill herself by Poppy, who was going to push her but didn't. Olivia made the initial fall herself so I can see how that's a suicide. Nell on the other hand was murdered. She went to the house to face her fears and had no intention of committing suicide. Olivia tricked her into putting on the noose by making it look like a necklace and pretty much moving her to the edge.

Meg C even when Luke and Shirley were arguing because Luke wanted to give Shirley's clothes to Abigail, Olivia says she will go to the reading room and Luke asks, "Where is the reading room?"
When Steve shows her what he found in the play room she again says "what room?'
this show is exactly what the horror genre needed. love it love it love it!
That was the most boring Show ever , stop overrating it
@@GrauerAffe lol ok sure, dude.
@@GrauerAffe You are sadly in the minority with your opinion.
@@GrauerAffe its one of best and you should know it.
@@GrauerAffe your preference.
This show had the scariest jump scare of all time and y'all know exactly what I'm talking about!
The car?
I shat my pants
Best jump scare ever
@C J I screamed, by boyfriend screamed, the cats were terrified. Best jump scare EVER.
I thought for a second I'd have a heart attack lol
Why is no one talking about how gangsta Hugh was and how he protected his children (as best he could). He was the only who was not afraid of the ghosts. He should have told them the truth but other than that, he was the real MVP!
Also, Luke's speech at Nell's funeral was my favorite moment of all!!! I loved this show!
The whole “two storms” episode being filmed in many really long one takes with one lasting over 17-minutes shows how well filmed and professional the cast and crew of this show really were. One of the best things I have seen on film in my life!!
The bent-neck-lady/Nell storyline was the most mind-blowing, terrifying and brilliant thing I've watched.
Edit: Jesus effing Christ, you praise a series and you get attacked. Is this seriously the world nowadays? Get a life everyone.
Trulisthetic also the saddest, imagine being stuck forever being the thing you scared of at place you also scared of
I always thought the bent neck lady looked a bit like nell I think it was the hair
Trulisthetic yupppp
and lucky
You mean some people didn't see it coming?
Dude Luke counts to seven cause there are seven people in the family, that was no easter egg.
Yeah, this was explicitly explained. First shown with his seven army men around the picture of the monster in the hidden basement, and then fully explained to his sister with her buttons.
true that was the whole point of the number 7 when he explains it to young Nellie
I think the Easter egg was the family would always grow back to seven, even if there's 3 people missing, 7 will come back in marriages, children, etc.
There are seven steps between twins' beds; Luke takes seven steps to reach his sister's bed as you can see in the same episode where Luke tells her sister to count to seven whenever she's afraid. This is the reason why Luke counts seven steps every time he's afraid. That's the Easter egg.

Isn't the porch light just Olivia calling Nell to go home?
Calling aaaaall of them home
Am I the only one who also remembers the two taps on the clock? Nell does it while on the car and then the porch light flashes two. Maybe just a coincidence?
Rectal Punch From Hell I just finished it a couple of hours ago
@@arianakiledjian When young Hugh gives Nell the clock he says their Aunt will be in by two and taps it twice.
Ariana Albano and bells father told her that she would be at her aunts at 2:00
Another one, is that Olivia starts getting her migraines again at Hill House. But they aren’t “color storms” it is just black darkness. Also, she always touches the same side of her head when they start. It is the same side that gets smashed when she jumps and unalives herself. The migraines are a foreshadowing of what’s to come
Honestly, this show was a masterpiece. They kept like a million different little threads all going at the same time. Best horror show ever, without a doubt.
Only the follow up Bly Manor comes close.
They've tried so hard to enter to the mysterious room, when in fact those folks had been in there for multiple times without noticing it.
It's mind blowing, actually. They were creeping each other without knowing.
Nell’s story is one of the most disturbing and heart wrenching story’s I’ve ever come across.
Episode 8 jump scare - I've still not fully recovered :-)
mayes33 same
I was fine through the entire show except this episode! We had 6 people in the living room watching this. I screamed cause it got me and made everyone else jump!
the scariest of them all
mayes33 is that the car scene? i cant remember what that episode consisted of
xøantønia Yes in the car - Shirley and Theo. Theo was about to tell Shirley what she felt when she touched Nell and Boom! I leapt off the sofa lol
So what ended up being the deal with the barking dogs on the property that may or may not have existed?
That's something I've wondered about too. Never explained. At all.
@@kcallamajaji There's a story posted by one of the writers on r/nosleep on reddit. Those are apparently the dogs owned by Mr. Hill who were later killed.
Hopefully there will be a prequel with some back stories :)
@@EmmaKay1000 Apparently if there is going to be a second season its going to be a completely different story with different characters. Would be kind of cool if it became a bit like AHS and kept the actors for different roles.
And what about the buttons on Nell's eyes and how did her coffin fell?
Im not the only one that thinks Nellie didn't commit suicide right? She was pushed off and she was tricked into putting the noose on.
You're right. She didn't commit suicide.
Margarita Aguilar I think what happened is the other ghost, Poppy, changed into Olivia and shoved Nellie off
Jazz A that actually was her mom since she wanted her children to “wake up” by killing them
Danny Nguyen I still think that it was Poppy. I mean she manipulated Olivia into talking with her kids that weren’t there also Poppy manipulates Olivia into killing the Dudley’s kid.
@@jazza3529 Olivia had tried to kill Nell before. It was due to Poppy's manipulation, but it was Olivia who tricked and killed Nell.
Refuse to believe Nell killed herself, she was murdered 🤷🏻♀️
Emily Lian i mean she did. she put the “necklace” on herself and jumped off. she killed herself but was tricked by olivia’s ghost
....by Jerry Seinfeld! Not only that but I heard he broke Mike's thumbs.
It’s been already said by the actress that was Olivia pushed her, same as poppy pushes Olivia
1516yamilez you still can’t be murdered by a spirit
Mintea she didn’t jump off, its not up for debate Olivia pushed Nell, therefore being murdered by her mother, obviously to the outside world its gonna look like suicide
We need more shows like this... I miss some good horror stuff
That's the interesting thing about horror: a gem comes along once in a while in an ocean of crap.
Too bad if they decide to make a sequel to this show this family won’t be in it :(
It is said that they have already told their story and is satisfied with how they ended it so the next will feature a whole new family
I hate when that happens tbh I always find it hard to connect to a new set of characters in shows
I'm hoping it'll show a prelude. Identifying all the ghosts trapped in the house with their own stories a bit like how they did it with the Crain's
@Desolate Domino I was wondering about this, also
the dogs were in the book and the book never explained it either. They don't know either they just included it because it was directly from the book. im assuming it was just the house playing on there fears. @Desolate Domino
They’ve said if there’s a second season that a lot of the original cast will return, but not as the same characters. They’ll return as new characters with a new story line. Kind of like American Horror Story does. I like that idea. It’s kind of like a series of shorts except each story has its own season, and the mystery is solved by the end (instead of leaving us waiting on a cliff until it comes back). It’s satisfying to me to end it knowing all of the secrets and answers, then starting a new story! Keeps me interested.
It does suck that we won’t be seeing any more of this family, but I’m excited to see new stuff.
What do you think about the family members also representing the seven deadly sins.
Steve - greed
Luke - gluttony
Shirley- envy
Theo - lust
Nell - sloth
Olivia - wrath
Hugh - pride
Matthew Dardick how is Nell sloth?
Here is the meaning of sloth in biblical terms sourced from Wikipedia
Sloth is one of the seven capital sins. It is the most difficult sin to define, and to credit as sin, since it refers to a peculiar jumble of notions, dating from antiquity and including mental, spiritual, pathological, and physical states. One definition is: a habitual disinclination to exertion.
She was the only sibling trying to keep the peace. As her mental, spiritual and physical state declined. She isolated herself after her last effort to keep the peace. As well sloth and gluttony are very similar state of minds in general. So that kind of adds to my idea.
I could be completely wrong but I think I'm close. Nell was the hardest for me to place in the deadly sins for sure.
No... Nell as sloth does make sense! Wow nice find!
Matthew Dardick I agree Nell is the hardest to place. When I think of the sin sloth I think of deliberately lazy people. I don’t see that at all in Nell... I see depression more so considering she killed herself and went through a deep depression when her husband died.
@@mousemiot I see your point. Though laziness is a form of depression and falls in the same category. Considering it's a mental state it certainly couldn't be completely realized yet. Sloth can take many forms. Her sleep paralysis for one is meant to slow her down and progresses her depression. My point is you don't have to be inherently lazy to be slothful.
There's a little bit of video in your add...
just install adblock
The statues move their heads. Wtf!!!!!!
thank you for noticing. I know I'm not crazy
What? When does this happen?
@@4Ts20 one time I remember off hand is when the adult father and son are upstairs in one of the episodes near the end. They are standing between the statues on the second floor. It completely reminded me of the statues in Doctor who and I watched them. It happens with a camera angle change. It goes from on them to down the hall I think then when it's on them again the statue is looking at them, if I recall correctly.
Indeed. It actually shown in "the making of". The production team changing those statues around.
@@manchesterunitedno7 sweet, I have to watch that.
I just finished the show today I still remember the car scene. When the two sisters where fighting I was like SHUT UP and then the jumpscare happened. It was a relief.
These child actors and the kids from Stranger Things are some of the best kid actors ever!
The best episode was the one with the bend neck lady
Olivia beautifully portrayed the struggles of a mom just to save her children from a horrible future (literally and figuratively).
I’ve always thought about how trippy it’d be to have ghosts randomly pop up in a horror movie , so glad this show did it and did it right!
Did u all not notice that how the child actors matched with their adult versions very WELL?
I picked up on the 5 stages of mourning when I was watching it. However, I thought that Luke would be bargaining as he's constantly pleading with someone for something. I figured Theo for depression as she just seems constantly depressed and isolated.
TheRepty818 What’s important in distinguishing between them is the order of the five stages of depression. Bargaining is the third stage: Theo is the third-born and her episode number is three. Depression is the fourth stage: Luke is fourth-born (the older of the twins) and his episode number is four.
@@Luv2Dnce4 my only counter to that is that in real life, people don't always experience all five stages or in order.
The 5 stages thing isn't a formula and not everyone experiences all of them, or in any particular order.
Threadbare_Saint Yes, I understand not everyone experiences grief the same way. I’m referencing the model Elisabeth Kübler-Ross originally put forth in her book. And when you learn about grief, the five stages *are* taught in that order. The order of the episodes and the birth order of the Crain kids obviously mimics the model.
I've never seen better writing in my life. I finished this series a few months ago, and I'm almost done watching it again. I pray we get a good 2nd season.
The (young) dads face got more and more creepy as it went on
Everything. Ava not really
One of the moments I liked about the show was when young Nell reappeared after she went missing, she told other family members that she was right there, screaming but none of them heard her and how well that was synced with view of her casket. In adult life also, the same happened - she was screaming of pain but other family members didn't heard her.
Also, now it makes sense why Olivia kept wanting to kill her children by bringing them back to the house like what she did to Nell cuz she was manipulated by the villain ghost, Poppy. To Olivia, she and her children are constantly living in this nightmare that she wanted them to wake up from and the only method is to kill them. And notice, not all the ghosts in the house are bad. Hazel hill, the old grandma ghost that lived in the master bedroom did warn Olivia about Poppy, telling her that she is a liar and she shouldn't trust her.
Along with the background ghosts, in every room of the house, there are face like images on the walls. In the wallpaper, the mold, the wood paneling. It’s like the house itself is watching everything unfold.
thats terrifying. they found one skeleton, mr william's in the walls, who knows whr the other dead bodies r buried....
So when are you going to start telling us the 10 secrets?
Right? 90% from this list is just the natural flow of the narrative. There is some things that if you didn't catch, you was not paying attention.
Right! The only thing i learned from this video was the E.T. thing.
@@jazmynalika Hahaha, same here. :D
Loool
You keep calling the dress pink when it’s clearly YELLOW
stephii love Omg yesss, I tough I was crazy already lol
Maybe he’s color blind 😂 people who are color blind see yellow as pink sometimes
The dress is a pale pink because I believe Olivia wears it at one point.
It's definitely pink when she's alive. After she dies and her ghost appears "decayed" then it looks faded and yellow
The dress is pink, but it was her mother's and is now aged, appearing yellow. She sees it as pink because of her delusion.
Episode 6 of Hill House... One of the best TV episodes ever!!
This show is absolutely incredible, as is the entire haunting series! The script was so well crafted. So much detail was put into this show. The storyline and the acting is amazing! Definitely one of my favorite shows of all time!!
This is what made the show so great - small details done to unnerve you and makes you question if you're seeing things. It makes use of real life horror (dealing with mental illness) to create a great show
Can't get enough of the show... I keep watching it again and again. It's not creepy in a conventional way, it rather plays with your emotion and logical mind. I got so attached to the characters that I feel like I can't let them go!
yuh its psychological shih, which i luhhh
I see what all the hype was about now finally watching the show myself. As most people are stating, the writing is just top notch. Not only did the show manage to be creepy without being too cliche, it had so much emotion packed in it. I never expected to get emotional so much during what I thought was essentially a horror series.
But it was beautiful more than anything I think. All the actors did great including the children though I have to say my favorite was the adult actress who played Nell. I haven't looked up her name yet but her arc in the show combined with the actor playing her was just incredible I thought. Episode 5 was so heartbreaking..
A good horror series is supposed to be well rounded. It speaks to how hollow modern horror is
@@lovely1641 I completely forgot I even commented about this show lol. But I agree except take it a step even further in that I'd say most modern television in general is very shallow. Not to say there isn't a lot of great things but I believe there's far more worse series than good ones
about the 5 stages of depression, in episode 4 (if im not wrong) Luke mentions he never gets past stage 4, Luke is the 4th crain kid and represents the 4th stage of grieve, thats just a lil hint that not many people seem to notice
What if the mold forming came from the house salivating
semmee 😱
How do you delete someone else's comment?
Thanks I hate it
Dude, this tv show was amazing.
The porch lights also flickered in the miniature house shirley had (of the forever house) at the end of "her" episode:0)
One thing that I've noticed is that Nell's therapist is played by Russ Tamblyn who played Luke in the original 1963 movie "The Haunting".
Another thing (for those who have seen the 1963 version) is Mrs Dudley's line in the movie "In the night...In the dark" which is pronounced exactly the same by Annabeth Gish in the Netflix series. I loved that reference because "The Haunting" is one of my favorite ghost movies.
I'm still wondering if Luke actually survived or if that 2 year sobriety celebration was just him "waking up" in his own sense. 🤔
@Ecumenopolis Just a speculation, I like entertaining different theories and people's perspectives, adds a whole new dynamic to the show, kinda gives it more life even if it's concluded. Yeah I figured it wouldn't be the Craine family if they continued the show, looking forward to seeing where they go with the series none the less.
I heard it originally was the ending with that thin window in the background and they even filmed it that way but covered up the window with a picture instead... so they'd have a happy ending.
STOP THIS SCARES ME
But how could this be, because there are 7 family members at the table when he celebrates his 2 year sobriety... how could this be if Nell died
@@David-xo8zy Not sure if you watched the scene, but it shows who's all there and Nell isn't one of them.
I actually noticed most of these but I found the 5 stages of grief most intriguing. Really enjoyed the video 👌
Theo was most interesting to me. I was annoyed anytime Steve was on camera and I really liked Shirley as well.
Love Luke but he was killing my heart
This is definitely one of those shows that is incredible on the first watch, but can also be watched time and time again. Each time I've watched it, I've picked up on a few more little bits of info. An outstanding show!
this show should be so much more popular than it is, it’s so well written
Ugh I love Luke, he’s been through so much and just deserves love 😂😭
I think that the poem that Poppy sings is an explanation to how the family died in Hill House who just so happen to be the people who are haunting the house.
I knew something was up with those rooms because Mrs Dudley was confused when Nell brought up the toy room and Steve brought up the game room. I love the way the story was told. Finally something a little different!
Just diving deeper into the series since Midnight Mass dropped, and wow, this crew is incredible.
episode Two storms, when Olivia is looking for Nell, statues move
Ilnar Ibraimov gave me the chills when I first saw it
The statues move throughout the show.
Reminds me of doctor who
Still, there is one question left that bugs me: Which ghost was holding Theo's hand?
Bergatrollet an old lady hand .... very creepy and mysterious
Poppy's mom? Can't remember. The old lady in the bed that was saying poppy was a liar... can't remember what their relation was
She is William’s sister. So Poppy’s sister in law.
Episode 5 was probably my favorite, but 6 was good as well.
I like how episode 6 was made to look like one seamless shot for most of the episode.
Also, in ep. 6 when Olivia is searching for Nell, she walks down the hallway that has two large statues at the mouth of it. She enters a room, closes the leaking chimney flu, and then exits the room. Looking closely, one will notice that one of the statues at the end of the hall has been turned opposite the way it was facing prior to Olivia entering the room. Subtle yet spooky. People who don't notice the turned statue will still likely feel uneasy, but might not know why.
I think my favorite character was Theo. Just a unique character
I almost jumped from my seat, when that car jumpscare happened :DD Damn son!
I haven't seen this cool secret in your guys` video: In the later episodes, where Olivia speaks to the husband, BEFORE the night, they keep entering and exiting the twins room. And there are two statues there. And one of the statue (the left one) looks at Olivia (To its right side) and then looks ahead, in different shots.
PLEASE CHECK EPISODE 7 WHEN DAD SAW A DEAD REMAIN THERE IS A GIRL NEAR THE LIGHT ITS CREEPY
Miguel Mirabel I saw that too! I was like, "Who the heck is this random lady!?" My husband didn't even notice!
I thought that was going to be a jump scare, since Hugh was getting closer and closer to the wall. My boyfriend didn't see anything, I had to pause for him to see.
Miguel Mirabel definitely one of the more creepy hidden ghosts!!
Which part?
1:43 anyone notice that tall ghost staring through the glass (way left when liv is only in frame) only one I saw throughout the show.
yes that's the only one i noticed too!
*But what is the story of the hill family(the ghosts in the hill house) wonder what happened in that house before this family came in.*
Gosh many ghosts in one house..i can't even imagine stepping in such a house 😖
I wish they would make the 2nd season about that
There were also hints that Nell was the bent lady before it was actually revealed during shots when she had head tilted towards her shoulder. Good example of that would be during her wedding when she was slow dancing with brother.
the five stages of grief is smart, what got me in the window in the REDROOM HOW COME I MISSED THAT
I 💩 my pants while watching this show😅
This show is the horror we look for in movies/shows and can never find. I loved it so much and all the actors are amazing. Theo’s my favourite by far
remember when luke was asking shirl to share her clothes with abigail and mom came to the kitchen to take the pills. when she said to the kids that she'll be in the reading room, luke was like what? where is mom's reading room?
Love this show❗️
Who else is a fan❓
2:23 the whole point is literally that she DOESN'T commit suicide though??????
I was scared the first time I watched hill house, I was terrified. The second time, I was heartbroken. The third time, it made we want to be better to the people I care about.
When they're arrived in the house, Theo had an E.T attach to her bag too (for the E.T reference)
Am I the only one who noticed Leigh was pregnant at Luke's two year's clean anniversary? I find that terrifying.
Why?
I didn't catch the ET lunch box! Awesome!
Other than the main victims (Nellie or Luke), every characters situation made me cry especially Theo's who was so broken. I literally cried watching this show.
LOL I thought Luc's cake actually was celebrating 2 days of sobriety
Nell: The house lights up yellow and orange, warm colours= welcome
Luc: The house lights up red= Not welcome
I wish they did more with the clock repair person, it felt like they revealed that aspect to early
The lighting is never discussed but to me, it unlocks the entire show! The warm yellow/orangeish lighting is used when the house is tricking them or they're hallucinating
Luke made me cry the most...great acting too from him!
i pretty much cried every ep, so its not scary for me. cuz sadness and compassion are much stronger than fear. also horny but... not this case. Nell got me the most. all she want is for her family to believe her. such a small thing to do for your love ones, but we often dont do it. btw she didnt suicide, she was killed by the ghost. people blame those suicide as selfish, but do they really pay enough attention at what those people hav been though? not that theres more painful thing so their pain is not pain, and not everyone know how to call help. or sometimes they called, just no one answered.
One thing I noticed as well is Theo's hands and how it portrays emotion. Her clairvoyance is triggered through touch. Whenever she touches things, she feels whatever emotion was felt by that person or within that object. Theo feels too much after a while and becomes overwhelmed by it all, which prompts her to wear gloves all the time. This could also mean she's shielding her true feelings, which could be why she's so emotionless all the time, she's putting up barriers metaphorically and literally. She essentially receives and expels emotion through her hands. Remember when she had that breakdown in episode 8 after the jumpscare? She used an excessive amount of hand gestures.
This show was amazing. So well done, you don’t realize how amazing it was until you try to tell someone.
When child Theodora open the door of the cellar between steps see a white face, like a mask, for one second, after that he disappear. In the same episode you use in video a photo but with Theo's back. Nice show, not so scarry, but emotionall dramatic and strong.
omg i just finish this series and cant stip having goosebumps now. It was just sooo goooodddd and this video makes it even more better
That jumpscare moment in the car was the biggest jumpscare my and my gf ever experienced. Shaking.
