10 Secrets You Missed In The Haunting Of Hill House

The Haunting of Hill House is one of the most talked about shows on streaming right now. If you haven’t seen it, you really should as it’s masterfully done. It’s also really creepy at times and has more than a few scary moments. But while we were too busy being scared and being absored in the mysteries of Hill House, there were a ton of little details you likely missed the first time around. Some of them are story beats, some of them are Easter Eggs, but they’re all well hidden but mind blowing. The most well known one now is the hidden ghosts, which are standing in plain sight in the middle of many episodes but the camera never draws any attention to them. But from there, we get even more obscure. There is a haunting significance to what Nell is wearing when she’s haunting her siblings. Luke says the phrase “seven keeps you safe” a few times in the show, but that saying has more than one meaning in this series. Everyone is shown to have a Red Room on the show-except for Hugh that is. But that may not be totally true in fact. There’s a pretty clever easter egg referencing E.T. but when you find out why they have an E.T. reference, you’ll begin to question space and time. Olivia mentions to the kids the signifiance of flashing the porch lights to come home, and it seems Hill House hasn’t forgotten that. Theo is shown to be emotionally unstable for most of the series, but she in fact ends the show married despite us never seeing it! The Twin Thing is an important aspect for Luke and Nell, but the connection may be deeper than simply connection to emotions. The Red Room was a big mystery for the whole show, but the clues to it’s reveal were given throughout the season and we just didn’t realize it. Finally, the five Crain children actually represent the five stages of grief! Once you know that, the show takes on a whole new meaning.

Young Luke had my heart. I wanted to hug him every time he was scared.

[eastgapeach]

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 :'(

[yurihime]

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.

[gennakale]

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???”

[Chishine]

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.

[psyche]

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.

[fairfaxvickers]

That scene with Mr. Dudley when he described his mother going “scattered” was what I call top notch acting. This whole series is incredible. Flanagan is gold.

[keeganwilliams]

my favorite character for some reason is Luke. i really felt for him.

[lisalundgren]

For some reason, I found the super tall floating ghost with the walking stick absolutely terrifying!

[missjustpeachygirl]

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.

The 5 stages of grief are all in order from oldest to youngest

[wiktoria]

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...

[sanafahad]

One of the creepiest scenes was nell dancing all alone by herself in that deep dark haunted house. That was really creepy.

[BruunoJSC]

Its not the house that remembers about the porch light, but Olivia itself trying to bring Nell into the house to wake her from the "terrible" dream.

[DeviousAngel]

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.

[Phalxxx]

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.

[DRMadeIt]

Hill house is tight. Bent neck lady reveal was amazeballs

[quitecontrary]

Episode 5 was probably the most beautiful and heartwrenching piece of storytelling I've ever seen.

[gothgoddessrhia]

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.

[moonbaby]

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
