Did you finish the series? If so, how did you miss that?

SPOILERS.........................
Honestly, until the mom poisoned her at the end I thought she was a ghost. When she walked back in as a ghost, it was confirmed that she was real. I don't remember the neighbor saying they had another child. But I could have missed that part during his story.

Yep they talked about it before she ended up sleeping over with Luke. I didn't put two and two together until then.

It started off scary as hell. Especially when you see the woman(mom) chasing the son and dad out of the house. Then by the end you realize the ghosts and house really aren't that evil as you were led to believe. I can't see them making a season 2 now that we know about the house and it's haunts.
Very well done show though. Now I'm trying to scour Netflix for something comparable.
BTW. I knew Steven looked familiar

This review of the show, imo, gets to the heart of what it is all about. Horror is secondary.
The Profound Grief of The Haunting of Hill House
I also think the show is a stirring depiction of the specter of mental illness, or to put it more mildly, the show is influenced by solipsism. That reality is ultimately based in the mind of the individual.
The Profound Grief of The Haunting of Hill House
quote:
The hidden ghosts of Hill House aren’t nameless spooks trapped between spiritual realms; they are personal manifestations for the people they haunt, visual aids for the truths they must accept and vanquish. It’s not a paranormal story so much as a meditation on the distinct way grief and trauma maim the living. And it’s scary as hell.
quote:
Hill House makes great use of its setting and genre, with plenty of jump scares, ghouls, and gore to satiate horror fans. But its power is not in how thoughtfully it scares, but in how deeply it penetrates. It forces us to contend with our own buried thoughts and emotions, the family secrets that fester deep within, and it does so with an elegant and even hand, telling stories across two timelines: the Crain children’s time in Hill House, and their lives as adults, as they deal with the fallout of the psychological trauma they experienced there. Like HBO’s Sharp Objects, it shows that trauma and memory operate largely in concert with one another, inflicting the mind randomly, sometimes violently.

im a dumbass and need to go back and rewatch the finale, but can someone tell me when the Dad died?
I missed when he died. when he went outside with the kids and told them "me and Steve have to finish something". was he alive or dead then?
Also, i dont understand the caretakers kid storyline.

The dad died on the landing with a pill bottle in his hand. He was already dead when they loaded luke in the Car.
Luke kept seeing that kid in the woods and everyone thought he was making her up.
The family mom though she was a ghost already, and didn't know she killed a live kid untll the end.

Gore?
Really?

Not reading the thread since I still have 3 episodes, but that one shot in the funeral home when the family first gets together and argues is cinematic brilliance. One camera just panning around for what must have been almost 10 mins. Great acting. Great camera work. Its up there with the tracking shot in True Detective for best scene in tv history.

That episode was 3 shots. It was brilliant. One scene was 22 minutes

Spoiler...
So the father died outside of the red room when he was trying to pop a pill into his mouth?
Not sure I follow when he died. ...Or did he die?

He died off-screen. He made a deal with his ghost-wife to open the door to the red room so the kids could leave the house. She didn't want to be alone, which is why she was reluctant to let them go. His deal with her is that he would kill himself (OD on the pills) and stay with her if she let the kids go.

I don't think so. The mom was surprised to see Abigail considering she had just assumed Luke had an imaginary friend.
Granted the mom was completely insane at this point, whose to say what she was really thinking, but Abigail was certainly real and present.

I found this reveal (confirmed by the director) to be fascinating and another reason why this show is so incredible.
The 5 Crain children each represent a stage of the 5 stages of grief.
Steve - Denial
Shirley - Anger
Theo - Bargaining
Luke - Depression
Nell - Acceptance
