The Haunting Of Hill House Episode 8

These siblings continue to set my nerves ta rattlin' 😭

Comments

Such a great detail ab the treehouse! Each child had a special space in the house that didn’t exist! Throw dance studio, Nelly’s toy room, the game room, the tree house! I don’t remember if Shirley had a special place, but it’s so crazy how it all connects 😭 masterful story telling! It makes sense why you could see movement in the red room but never go in until it opened itself to you. And you get the little clues like Olivia and Mrs. Dudley saying “the what?” When one of the kids would mention their special room. Such good Easter eggs

Lillie Feller

I do NOT sorry, it's cultural osmosis. No shade to the zeus fans but I'm too soft and earnest for them shenanigans 😭😭😭

Alanda

Not collect “your baddies chain” 🤭 you be on Zeus?

Gina R.

Theo’s breakdown touched me too. I also agree that Midnight Mass is on a whole different level. Luke is still my favorite though <33

Derek Jones

Honestly! Midnight Mass is a piece of art that is IN MY BONES! It's in my opinion, Flanagan's magnum opus. Can't wait for Alanda's reactions to it.

Patrick Anthony

you were right to fall 😭

Alanda

so glad I can let go of any fear of us losing the path 😭😭 I LOVE THIS SHOW

Alanda

to the BONE!!!!

Alanda

they understand each other's artistic voices on a deep level FOR SURE!

Alanda

😭😭🥰🥰🥰

Alanda

🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ do we get a pin?

Alanda

Like I could hardly register the extent of this damn haunting!!!!!!!

Alanda

It definitely is! I'm ready! (not really but I'm doing it anyway and know I will love it even though it will probably destroy me as thoroughly as this is!)

Alanda

we all were like "GIRL! please" 😭

Alanda

Thank YOU! I love how you point out all the ways that Steven is like his father despite the fact that he hates so much about the man as an adult, specifically the secrets and deception! He thought he was "being kind" by lying to Leigh just like his father thought he was "protecting" the kids by hiding the truth. All either of them did was create a bigger storm that would have to be reckonned with in the future 😭. I really love this show and all of the beautiful and devastating layers imbued in these characters!

Alanda

Def happening!!

Alanda

it's stays on me for sure but it's so good 😭😭

Alanda

🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰

Alanda

me toooooo!!!!

Alanda

its a MUST!!! 😭🙂‍↕️

Alanda

Nell is my baby fr! Like let my girl rest! 😭😭 I'm def excited to get to Bly manor now that I'm made of stronger stuff 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Alanda

oh definitely happening 😭🙂‍↕️

Alanda

I'm so happy (also terrified and traumatized) to be here!! This show is just toooo good 😭😭😭

Alanda

Leigh needs a building erected in her honor, because she even held herself together and kept it VERY civil at the funeral when Steve tried to use it as an opportunity to talk whatever crazy shit he was saying to her over in that corner 😭. She just walked away and respectfully took her seat. It would be so hard for me to look at his face (even understanding all the fucked up shit he's going through) that I would have slipped into the back right before the funeral started and left before he could even see me. AND I WOULDA BEEN TOLD THE FAMILY! Like he does all of that lying and then expects me to carry on a ruse in front of his family?!? People I like and respect?!? He didn't even tell anyone they were separated until the last possible second 😭

Alanda

He really knows how to right for her, it's incredible 😭😭

Alanda

thank you so much love 🥰! I def have Oculus on my list and have moved it up in my lil color-coded system of audience interest after this show! and I still absolutely plan on watching the scream tv show too!!

Alanda

Steven is the villain of Leigh's story fr!!! 😭😭😭 The level of deception that he employed is so scary to me because he allowed it to continue even while actively seeing her in pain because of it. We watch him emotionally shutting down so he doesn't have to face/feel what he's doing to her. He's just so so broken and its devastating to witness! My wife Theo, on the other hand, did not know what she was doing (in this one instance🥴) and is therefore innocent, your honor!! (and yeah Kate DESERVES! 😭)

Alanda

It's powerhouse performances all around truly, but Kate reached inside my chest and SQUEEZED fr 😭😭 Letting go of this show will be so sadddddd omg 😭😭😭

Alanda

LOL!!! totally unintentional and indicative of my scatted emotional state after hearing Theo's monologue again and pressing upload 😭😭😭 (lemme go fix it cause I legit didn't even notice!)

Alanda

😭🙂‍↕️💛

Alanda

I'm definitely excited for Chucky but also sad to see Hill House go 😭😭

Alanda

both on my list 🙂‍↕️💛

Alanda

I'm so grateful to yall! I would have been in a third degree burn situation 😭

Alanda

SHE GOT US ALL 😭😭😭

Alanda

yeah it's an amazing character study! The behavior is very rooted in survival instincts. He does all of these ghastly things (some passive avoidance, some rooted in denial, some aggressive rejection of what he knows to be true) in an attempt to protect his mind from what he believes to be something very destructive and maybe even inevitable! It's so devastating, and while it doesn't excuse his actions, it contextualizes them beautifully.

Alanda

Honestly if you think Kate is incredible in this, wait until you watch Midnight Mass. Truly one of the greats.

Leon Watts

Can’t wait for you to watch the 9 episode!

Angel Freitas

This is my favorite episode in the whole show, which is TRULY saying something!!!

Patrick Anthony

My little sister really loves Midnight Mass so I'm excited to get to it too!!!

Alanda

right I love the pacing of that scene! I didn't even pause to recover from the jumpscare because they move through those following moments with such grounded devastation. Just so beautiful! 😭😭

Alanda

I LOVE this show! the titty punch is truly so ridiculously real!! 😭😭😭

Alanda

She's a marvel, truly 😭😭😭

Alanda

Right!! I'm truly in awe. CONSTANTLY! 😭😭😭😭

Alanda

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alanda

on my list, love 🥰

Alanda

That monologue is definitely one of my favorite pieces of writing I've witnessed. It's so devastatingly real and resonant. I think what breaks my heart the most is that need to banish numbness and how desperate it makes her. How destructive she becomes, both intentionally and unwittingly, in an attempt to feel. I'm so grateful to whatever strength allows you to reach for things that make you feel warmer and feel even an echo of joy rather than being pushed into needing to feel anything for sake of it. I really appreciate you. And your consistent effort to make other people smile and feel supported. You are truly beautiful soul 💛💛💛💛💛💛

Alanda

He is so deeply troubled (of course they all are) but like WOW!!!! I actually think that's one of the scariest things we've seen in the show 😭😭 That level of deception is TERRIFYING to me! And I would have never guessed he was capable of something like that, which I think is probably what scares me (AND LEIGH) the most. He's so sure he has a lid on what he perceives to be the problem but he really is just as wrong and destructive as Luke's addiction 😭😭. I would NEVER get over that if I was Leigh. I would never be able to trust him like my god oh my god??!?!??? god oh my!!!!!

Alanda

I'm actually ashamed of how quickly I would have resorted to physically attacking him upon finding out. Like I fear I would have needed to snatch him BALD!

Alanda

always use ⚠️caution⚠️ round here 😭

Alanda

love you 🥹🥰

Alanda

I have been patiently waiting for you to get to the jump scare on this episode and it didn’t disappoint! I can’t until you get to the last two episodes. They are just immaculate.

LaTrese Harris

Mike Flanagan has NEVER missed. Even his movies are top tier.

Emma Nichole

the jump scare that made me fall out of my chair 😒 (in the dark on hallows eve night lmao)

cambam

The no tree house line will always give me chills. Another fantastic reaction as always! They definitely stick the landing so no fear. Also I am already dyyyinggg for your Bly Manor reaction whenever you get to it. Impeccable story telling there as well.

Axel

THERE WAS NO TREEHOUSE I still get chills.

Allison

You should watch her in the movie called Hush, also directed by her husband Mike Flanagan. It’s a home invasion movie but she plays a woman who is deaf and mute. You’ll definitely like it.

Brandy Henry

Makes sense that Mike Flanagan’s wife, Kate Siegel, is so amazing acting in her husband’s work. It was like the role was made for her.

Brandy Henry

You look like you could use a hug and some hard liquor after this episode. Here I hope this will help 🤗 🍹 😂

Brandy Henry

Mwahahaha yess welcome to the cult!

a cup of cait

Also the gag that there was never a treehouse!? Because WHAT DO YOU MEEEAANNN??

Daniel McGuinness

Bly Manor will break your heart but in a beautiful way…hope it’s already on the list…💜

Ari Morales

I must say, Nellie really wanted Shirley to listen too 😅

Ana Fox

You survived the granddaddy of all TV jump scares. Nell in the car. Lmao

Aaron Johnson

This episode breaks my freaking heart like an explosion of grief. Sometimes people don't pay as much attention to Theo's confession because of the jaw-dropping jump scare that happens right before, and that is such a shame. You were ON IT, though! I bawled my eyes out during that scene, and to this day, it destroys me. Another moment that really moves me is Steven describing reading the medical reports of his mom and how he breaks describing it. It so perfectly shows us the trauma, pain and sense of betrayal he carried. Of course, Steve being Stevennn, he went and took his father's lack of communication to a severe degree. As he pointed fingers at his dad's secrets, he simultaneously destroyed his marriage with his own. DAMN YOU, STEVEN! I feel for him, but god, what a way to torture and disrespect your partner. Above all, the performances in this episode are exquisite. From those delivering monologues to those receiving the information, it is raw and REAL. I absolutely adore your reactions and always thought you would be the perfect reactor for this. You not only do not disappoint, but you bring a level of understanding and emotional connection (in a first-watch no less) like no other. Amazing, amazing, amazing! It's phenomenal to watch you process this journey. Thank you!

Ana Fox

Girrrrl, you need to watch the other Flanagan shows. Especially “Midnight Mass.” They’re all like this.

Carlos

Please please watch The Fall of the House of Usher!

Taylor144

This show is taking you through it omg. I find myself watching you more than the show sometimes and I just be like “my sis needs a hug right now” 🤣😩

Shay Tuck

Love so much

Liam Rendos

Also, The fall of the house of usher!! Girl I can’t wait til you get into Big Mike not the little one ! this man is the best thing that happened to Netflix hands down

Indica Jay

Sksksksk the way I literally went “so basically the current dating climate”😭😭😭 some things NEVA CHANGE

bribricutie3

Can’t wait to see you react to more of Flanagan’s universe

Vitor Nascimento

next episode is the one for the history books

István

I neeeed you to watch another Flanagan show called “The Fall of the House of Usher” it’s sooo good

Yae Miko

You just made me realize they're together in the show and movie!

Zombies_Are_Real

I'm so glad you love Flanagan! You need to watch the rest of his filmography. I've seen a lot of people recommend different titles in the comments and they are all good! Please react to more Flanagan!

Lavender Violet

LMFAOO OH THE JUMPSCARE DIDN'T FAIL. Nell was fucking sick of her sisters fighting and said stfu already! Bless her, even if it gave most people a mini heart attack on the first viewing. I do hope once this show is done, you might try and dive into Bly Manor, because in terms of characters, I think you are gonna latch SO hard onto those. You know it is sapphic, T'Nia Miller is in it and SO fucking brilliant, it brought Rahul Kohli to the front lines and he is wonderful too. I just think it is right up your alley.

Simone

She is also amazing in Mike Flanagan's Midnight Mass. There are some monologues in that show that will break your heart! I hope you watch it so we can cry together! LOL

Jennifer

In the previous episode I apologized specifically because of that jumpscate haha x.x

December Vesalius

One of us! One of us!

Joanna Bettelheim

Oooof gurl shiz is wild right?! Mike Flannagan has had me hooked since the pandemonium of 'Rona with this one! It's the character studies for me. When I tell you I was fighting for my life with each passing ep. That being said, buckle up buttercup cuz it's about to be a RIDE to the finish line! Thanks for letting us sit with you :)

Kyler Rivera - Sillman

Can we also just shoutout what a SAINT Leigh is that, after finding out what Steve did, she still hugged Luke when he appeared on her doorstep and just said Steve didn’t live there anymore and not why, still was there when Steve was on the phone with Shirley about finding Luke, still came to the funeral and supporting a grieving family because she still considered them her own.

Joanna Bettelheim

paging all flanagan cultists: WE GOT HER

misery (the pig) 🐖

Everyone who encourages anyone to watch this show specifically wants to see the reactions to THE jump scare and Theo’s monologue. The great thing about Kate Seigel being Mike Flanagan’s wife is that she gets moments like that in all of his shows. If you watch Midnight Mass…buckle up, girl.

RiffRanger

So glad you finally got to this episode!!! Sis you did NOT disappoint. I've been watching you for so long and seeing you enter the Flannaverse is so satisfying. I'd like to exho other sentiments to check out Oculus! One of my favourite horror movies, you're gonna love it. Also, though, I know the Scream TV series didn't poll well when you were asking sbout shows to watch but PLEASE give it a chance. It's so underrated and wild.

Chel Ryan

let me tell you something...when Steven said that he had a vasectomy and has been lying to Leigh all this time I wanted to reach through my screen and KILL HIM. the fact that he didn't tell her and she spent all this time probably thinking something is "wrong" with her or that she's "at fault" for them still not having kids even with all that trying...mind you, if he gave her his reasonings she probably would've understood. Theo's speech after Nell scares the shit out of her and Shirley always makes me cry, I built and polished an Oscar with Kate's name on it since the real ones are clearly blind to see this masterful acting

world of tinashe

The best jumpscare of all time

JP Diana

Can’t wait to watch midnight Mass with you :))))

JP Diana

This episode truly broke me.

Ty Best

ALL of this!

Aidan Halliwell

How Ms. Kate didn't win the Emmy, the Golden Globe, THE NOBEL PRIZE, etc. is beyond me, because that was a tour-de-force performance. And I give credit to Ms. Reaser, too, because no way I could have stood there, completely stone-faced, and watched that without sobbing. Also, snaps for perhaps the best jumpscare in the past two decades. I love that Nell always resurrects her own ass and scares the hell out of them to stop them from fighting. It makes a horrible sense that the peacemaker is the one the family most often ignored. I was waiting for you to get this episode, my love, and you did not disappoint.

Aidan Halliwell

dying that it's not labelled or tagged, just "this is the haunting of Hill House, HERE"

Kate

You needdd to watch midnight mass 😭💗

Augustine

Yes hush is really good 🩷🩷

Lovepink

If you love Theo, you need to watch her in Hush. AMAZING THRILLER. And Steven's wife is in it too :)

Ashton Drewello

OUUU you should react to Hush it’s a horror movie written and directed by Mike Flanagan with your girl Theo in it. It’s pretty much how Mike Flanagan burst on the scene.

Bravo Six

Nopeee not all. Fall of house usher was really bad and the midnight club wasn’t really that good either

Bravo Six

literally all of flanagans shows are GREAT! from hill house to house of usher. I genuinely hope you get to watch all of em 🙂‍↕️

Ryan

i’ve been waiting for THAT moment since you started the show and it did NAWT disappoint 😭😭😭😭😭

Ryan

i can’t wait for the next episode so i can maybe fuck your life up by pointing something out a lot of reactors miss 🙂

Alex Manning

This has been a wild fun ride watching your reaction to this show it's almost over 😔 but I'm excited for you to get into Chucky your gonna be gagged and happy, Jennifer is just as iconic and unhinged as ever as Tiffany. You may be upset when season 3 ends it does end on a huge cliffhanger and unfortunately universal didn't greenlit the fourth season but they will be making new movies that continue the series so we just have to waaaaaaait lol to see what happens next

The Cinema With James

Aw yeah THIS was the episode :D also, welcome to the cult! May I suggest and request the movies Oculus and Hush? (From the Flanaverse) Can't wait for your reaction to the last two episodes! This show never gets old.

Taco Wolf

"The jump scare" - everyone who watched this show was taken out by that jump scare. If you need a good laugh, go watch a compilation of YouTube reactors' reaction to that scene.

RC Flores

FUCKING STEVE UGGHHH I swear he's so complicated and I constantly flip between empathy and disgust when it comes to his actions. I think he might be the most complicated Crain sibling 😭😭😭 and that's saying something cuz God DAMN these kids are all so incredibly fucked up. UGH. Anyways. Theo made me cry AGAIN. Every time I watch that scene I can feel the nothing she describes and it destroys me. Kate Siegel owes me compensation for emotional damages.

Jonah

Your reaction to the jump scare did not disappoint. I was cackling (and then gave myself whiplash by sobbing hysterically a second later thanks to that Theo monologue). Btw our concern over the hot drinks you used to drink is due to this jump scare primarily lol. But still - keep it up with the iced drinks for Flanagan-verse 🤭. I can't believe we're so close to finishing Hill House. I hope Bly replaces it when you're done 🤞🏾🤞🏾

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

Waiting impatiently for the next episode! My absolute favorite!

Maria V

The best jump scare in TV history.

Michael Instone

omg yes pleaseeeee become a flanagan cultist we neeeeed your midnight mass reactions!!!!

hamish

So fun fact about thee jump scare, it was scripted but then Mike Flanagan secretly told Victoria Pedretti to do it ahead of time to get real reactions! 😅 Kate Siegel is just 🤌🤌🤌

Zombies_Are_Real

i just got a wisdom tooth pulled.... a new alanda video was just what the dentist ordered thank you so much!!!!!

hamish

I’ve had a few watch throughs of this show and honestly each time I love steve more as a character (not as a person I would enjoy meeting or hanging out with lol). his betrayal of leigh’s trust is so awful, so beyond anything I could imagine inflicting on someone I love, yet I can’t help but see his cowardice reflected back at me. I’ve at times let cowardice rule my life, I don’t even think I just avoid, procrastinate, stick my head in the sand until it’s ripped up against my will. it’s a defensive mechanism and it’s also a very self involved way of being

simple_syrup_

MA'AM!!!!! I know this show isn't over but if you think this is something, (which it undeniably is), I cannot wait to see how you feel about Midnight Mass. I will say it's a bit slower in the beginning but it is WORTH IT.

Pierre Brown

"the fine-ass bitch with the crazy mind." who? me? 😎😎😎

tallasianchick

Mike Flanagan is so good, just constantly devastating. The Life Of Chuck had me crying for way too much of it, so good.

Nemo-the-Red

Theo had that amazing monologue and Kate Seigle came with that amazing acting that I completely forgot a demonic looking Nell popped out the back of that car and scared the shit out of me

Christopher Nicholas

When I first watched this they jump scare took me out like I was driving and I was in bed lol so glad I got to see this

Mare Monaco

Me too! Hey happy birthday! I’m the 5th!

Mare Monaco

Nell still being there for her siblings even in death like THATS MY BABY FR☹️💖

bribricutie3

I’m so happy you decided to watch this show. I love that you clocked the mustache man being a ghost right away. The tiddy punch is one of the funniest, realist sister moments. And I know everyone dogs on Steve and yeah his choice was messed up and selfish but I love getting glimpses into his thought process.

Vicki M

No like that writing is so TEEAAAAAA‼️‼️‼️

bribricutie3

That jump scare was the first jump scare to get me in a while when I watched it, and I don't jump scare easy. I was also so happy you didn't have anything in your hands.

Vladomyr Blue

The way you shed that tear at the perfect moment... 🥲 Kate deserved all of the awards from that monologue alone.

Andrew Myrick

Amazing reaction as always. LOVE rewatching with you. 🤩🥰😎

MikeyB!

Literally, Mike Flanagan idk what you’re on but I have to stan forever I’m afraid

Daniel McGuinness

Theo trying and failing to explain what happened in the basement for most of the episode, and Shirley getting frustrated with the fragments she was getting (“I didn’t see him”) and it all failing to make sense and causing them to argue, only for Miss NELL herself to step in and deliver one of the the scariest jumpscares in our lifetime just to stop the bickering And then when Theo breaks down and finally explains what happened, and it all making perfect horrible tragic sense, as she delivers a legendary performance… unmatched. The show just can’t stop We knew she wouldn’t cheat with her sisters husband, VINDICATION

Daniel McGuinness

Damn everything about this episode was perfect. Theo's monologue. The parallel of older Theo and Shirley getting scared in the funeral home mirroring them getting scared in the bed at Hill House when they were kids. All the fucked up mess with Steven.

Dani

"you think you're writing about your crazy mom, your crazy brother making scary faces in the tree house. you see the marks, but you don't know how to read them" michael really ate with that

K Rose B

Pleeease react to Doctor Sleep!!! Love from Spain 🫶

Alex D

Theo’s monologue is truly one of if not my favorite from the show(I sob EVERY TIME)…as always this show hits way too close to home and extremely so for this past year and a few months…that big sea of nothingness has surely been trying to drown the hell out of me😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 feel very just…hollow most of the time lately & I try to fill myself up with my escapisms(my comfort creators being a part of that, and I always appreciate that you are in that bunch. You truly make a magnificent difference with what you do, and I hope you always know that. You are loved & your spirit is a radiant jewel in this barren world💖💖💖) & just for that moment it goes away, but on rougher days..not so much.

bribricutie3

If you’re loving HOHH, doctor sleep is for you! Best Flanagan movie by far

Tia :/

Finally thee EPISODE that I can fully release my Steve cuss out like this BASTARD😭😭😭 talking about some “we were talking and then dating and then married” like you BITCH ASS BITCH. The fact that you were actively with someone who you knew from the JUMP wanted kids & got on one knee and PROPOSED, then they start “trying” to have kids, got her thinking that it’s her fault because it isn’t happening. Like you selfish ass motherfucker, I can’t stand him so bad😭😭😭 and him forever talking about mental illness and how no one is getting help but NEITHER IS HEEEEE?! Like Steven I don’t see YOU going to a therapist, getting put on medication, don’t see you trying to get better just talking a bunch of shit, so please shut your condescending ass UUUUPPPPP he pisses me off so bad I can’t take it😭😭😭

bribricutie3

Lee should've hit Steve with a steel chair. just plain EVIL

maya-henri

shhhhh Alanda is on

Joe

Perfect timing! Just finished binging all of the other episodes. I’ve watched this show a million times and I still cry every time I hear Theo’s monologue.

Ninaa With Two As

I just started, but upon reading the comments, I'm thinking I should put my snack away so the jump scare doesn't make me choke 😅

Kadiesha

The timing!! I just fixed my dinner 😁😆

Terrell

Ehehehehehehehehehe I CANNOT wait for THAT scene 🤭🤭🤭

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

Ma’am!!!!!! You have no idea how long I have been waiting for that car jump scare 😂😂😂

Jake Larkin

Kinda ironic I was watching a documentary on horror when this happened lol

Alexandre Thomas

Finally, THEE jumpscare we’ve all been waiting for! 🤣😭😭

Dylan Krolicki

I am quaking, I still have flashbacks to **that** scene in this episode.

Connor L.

“Hey muffins” you’re so cutesy☹️💖 I’ll cry right now😭😭😭

bribricutie3

And with that Alanda you just joined the majority of YouTube SCREAMING at that Jump Scare. It's iconic lol

James Roman

ALANDAAAA i'm just about to press play but i hope you survived THEE jump scare of the series... a canon event everyone must experience i fear 😂😭💛 edit: I JUST FINISHED THE EP 😭 the thing with jump scares is that they are so earned. it wasn't just a cheap trick, it's been nell the entire time trying to get her siblings to STOP FIGHTING and just talk to each other 😭 omfg i can't handle it i'm going to go cry again

soggytacos

oh is the episode with THAT scare…😭

E.

Your timing is so GOOD. Birthday weekend treat with Alanda!!!

RinCaimo

The moment between Theo and Shirley is one of my faves from the show.

Destiny 🩵

It’s showtimeeee ❤️
