this video we will be talking about spoilers like mad spoilers like up the
wazoo so if you haven't in the haunting of Hill House yet hit that watch it or
button on this video going to watch the show and then come back in and join the
discussion go over care about spoilers sit back and let's talk
the haunting of Hill House not to be confused with the house on Haunted Hill
Hill House or the plot of scary movie 2 even though that was based on the novel
that this is based on and there were two adaptions in the 60s and in the nineties
in Liam Neeson this show has taken liberties from the novel like Luke do
and now not even being related and Stephen chilly being created just for
the purpose of the show so instead we're just gonna focus on the show itself
because every adaption has its own changes from the source material
sometimes it's good sometimes it's bad now due to the implicit nature of the
show I'm gonna do my best to interpret what's going on or what I think happened
I might be wrong or I might be right but it's always fun to speculate
was that a rhyme no what we learned in the season is that the house is like a
parasite and no I don't mean like a goddamn bug but I mean like it feeds off
of people's emotions and drives them crazy that's what the Red Room was
whatever you wanted it to be a safe haven or your worst nightmare it made
you vulnerable and that's how the house was able to feed off you and get into
dark energy it's like a twisted version of the Room of Requirement stay
Hufflepuff it drove Olivia crazy to support where she wanted to kill the
twins now when Luke in a poisoned tea party unfortunately for the Dudley's
daughter Abigail who actually happened to be a real person I thought you as the
ghost the whole time and then there she isn't a sleepover to say oh hey I didn't
mean to cause any trouble I'm like Oh goddamn she's real yes I'm fortunate for
her she actually did die at that tea party I bet she regretted sleeping over
tonight I mean did you see how fast she was drinking that shit she's like slow
down Abigail I could see why you died you probably didn't leave any tea for
anybody else and that's probably what made the mom even more pissed it's not
enough rat poison she's just like how do you like your tea Abigail and she's like
bitch I don't know I'm six in a cup maybe we learned that the odds and
empathy sensitivity where she touches other people she is able to feel what
they're feeling and see what they're thinking it got pretty bad when she was
a kid so her mom gave her these gloves to sort of protected and keep it more
into control kind of like Cyclops from x-men and the stupid glasses
Timmy she was probably the most interesting character because she was
the most fucked-up emotion than anyone else is the middle child
kind of all to herself don't really gave a shit about her she has these powers
because of her power she was so emotionally detach from anyone else so
she sort of built this wall around herself to not let anyone in and by the
end of the show she sort of knocks that wall down lets her lover in and then she
just takes off her gloves and it's like she no longer needs them because she is
in control of her feelings and I don't think that she lost her gift because it
runs in her family but it's more symbolizing that she was able to control
her feelings now without the gloves which ultimately means she can go back
to playing Honka Honka speaking of closing herself in a wall we learned
that William Hill actually did just that he literally built a wall in the
basement to sort of keep himself away from everybody because he was
overwhelming fearing guilt obviously he regretted that decision
because he kept trying to scratch at the wall until his fingers are all shredded
and - it sounded like rats in the walls apparently he saw himself as really
small in the real world so when he died or woke up he was much much taller thus
revealing the identity of that fucking creepy ask tall ghost man when Luke saw
him come into the room when he was hydrants of bed that shit creeped me out
because normally you see like you know footsteps you know walking towards into
the bed now this motherfucker was hovering hovering ah
the stuff nightmares are made of I know they're creepy as ghost is the bed neck
lady who we eventually find out is now she got sucked back into the house and
was in the motel that her mom was in before she went crazy - so I'm sensing a
pattern here and then she kills herself by hanging off the fucking creepy ass
spiral staircase resulting in a bent neck well when she died she was able to
go back to key moments in her life and her family's lives she did this to warn
them to not go back into the house but unfortunately everyone else taught us a
way of being scared by another fucking ghost so that message didn't work for
the most part until she saves Luca at the end it's a twin thing this was
probably my favorite episode the entire series I think Stephen was the worst of
all the bunch because not only did he exploit his family's pain and fucking
terrible memories for a cash-in for a novel but he just kept arguing that his
family was fucking insane and they were crazy there's no such thing as ghosts he
believed in that so hard that he got a secret vasectomy and didn't even tell
his wife who wanted kids he's like nah my genes are fucked up I should not be
able to reproduce because you know they're gonna be crazy just like my mom
and stuff so what a dick pun intended but don't worry him and his
wife eventually reconciled at the end the show and she got pregnant but how
ghost baby Michael Langdon number 2 now surely didn't really deal with any
actual girls except me know in the bud came out
of her sister's mouth but she was really more with ghosts from her past she kept
seeing this guy that she cheated on her husband with the years ago she
eventually came clean to him at the end of the show what I really liked about
this is what this show is not exactly only limited to dead ghosts you know
like ghost ghosts but more of like emotional ghosts are ghosts in your past
and stuff like that so it really gave the show a little more layer and depth
to me I that was pretty cool Chris it wasn't a ghost I was like who is that
guy Luke was probably the most misunderstood character and probably the
most saddest he was on drugs because he's seen all this crazy shit and no one
including his family didn't believe him so you say you know what fuck it i'ma
shoot my stuff up because remember Don this stuff is too painful even when he
got cleaned for like 90 days his family still didn't believe in they're like ah
he relapsed again the car is gone and I'm just gonna assume the worst and
yeah I get that's how it is and he deal with addicts but if only they knew he
was actually doing good even trying to save that one girl and then she end up
taking the money and bailing on him but he was like fuck even that he still
didn't do it so man good job for Luke I think he had the biggest arc in the show
I also like that how him and now had this sort of like twin telepathy towards
each other at I guess it's happens with twins because you could feel what they
feel and stuff but in terms of the show it was pretty effective because at the
end of one episode you find out that now didn't kill herself she was murdered
because he's like ah my neck no she didn't kill herself
so that was pretty rad now the dad probably had the hardest because he had
all these secrets used to keeping away from his family for years he wanted to
maintain the image of their mom in the positive light and not see us is sort of
mentally broken child murderer the Dudley's made him promises after Abigail
died and then the dad saw you know Olivia dead they were just like you know
what we won't tell anyone what happened here so long as you keep this house up
and not destroy it so that way they can see their daughter again and whenever
they wanted to so he had to carry that shit for years and that I do went crazy
you can even tell he just kind of like lost it physically as well I also really
liked how much power the house really had on people it was like the murder
house from American Horror Story that if you die there your spirits there forever
now I wonder which house of wood in the fight
maybe Hill House was bigger but I wouldn't underestimate the murder house
fucked up people in there one the saddest moments the entire show was
when mr. Delhi took his wife his dying wife back to the fucking Hill house just
so that she can die there and her spirit can be reunited with Abigail yes I don't
know what it was about that same but it it got to me the way it was acted I
guess because the delis were so innocent and they were actually good people this
is kind of like their happy ending so you're gonna take a minute I love that
one of the most reoccurring themes this show is that the hardy try to protect
your kids the more harm you'll actually do to them
I mean think about it the Dudley's they tried to keep Abigail safe even home
score and everything and what happened she died Olivia wanted her kids to stay
in the house and not go into the real world because you know she's out there
gonna died that she can't protect him because Nell when Luke had that
nightmare and they really got to her so she's like okay if I keep everyone here
they'll be okay but her thing was that like they need to wake up from this
nightmare and to her waking up was to die as dark so needless to say we could
see why her method didn't work and even with the dad he spent all these years
protecting his kids with all the secrets it drove him crazy and it made the kids
hate him because they weren't he wasn't telling them anything which ultimately
ended up would nail lose in her life and Luke almost died - so dad method didn't
work the idea of not being able to completely protect your kids speaking as
a parent is a pretty tough pill to swallow because you always want them to
be safe but sometimes you just gotta left them out there and hope for the
best the onion shows Hugh sacrificing himself to Olivia because she wanted him
to stay in the house because like you know what if you let them go out the Red
Room I will be here with you forever so he stops taking his heart pills and then
he's dead and as they're leaving the house he would thank Steve for not
telling the siblings what he saw which was his dad's dead body did the dad not
learn that secrets are bad what makes it a little ironic to me is that Steve was
the one who was always against these secrets he always wanted to know the
truth and now at the end he's withholding some pretty fucking harsh
truth from them so Steve what a dick now I Harley nerd out with the technical
aspect of filmmaking and storytelling but in the two storms episode that shit
was pretty awesome because they had like about what a handful of long takes that
comprised the episode which meant that there was some long tracking jobs and
like 360 shots with no edits and no I can't imagine how hard that was and
how long they had to rehearse there for to get it to perfection man I can't even
do a two minute long shot I'm always fucking up
that alone is Emmy material you know damn well there's gonna be a season two
so hopefully they go back and delve into the origin the house and the Hill family
because I want to see what happened we only get little snippets of exposition
so I thought there's plenty of potential story right there
or maybe the crane family or what's left of them still kind of get haunted by the
house because there's still technically some more on a finished business because
it's still alive and the house is still up so it'll probably call them back and
keep trying until they're all dead there was also a lot of ghosts in that
house so what the hell is their story again there is plenty of room for
potential stories here for the next season and hopefully though again I I
want to see what the hell happened to the hill family Willie Hill Billy Hill
bill hill I also loved how he could be debated that what you saw in the show
could be considered mental or supernatural and I'm sure that was the
point of the novel so this will definitely get people talking as it is
an excellent show and absolutely worth watching if you love character-driven
stories horror and even some drama then this is for you and also how many
hitting ghosts were you guys able to see because I found none I'm a shitty
detective so do you guys agree with me what are some of your theories let me
