Full Length Reaction Guide
We take copyright law very seriously, so you will have to sync up our reaction to your own version of the show/movie. To help, we have a range of guiding tools throughout the reaction to help you sync up with us, including a small snippet of the scene to ensure you are in sync. Any instances in which you see the screen cut, this means we’ve had technical difficulties or have skipped a potential disruptions/bloopers. This means you will need to sync up your copy of the show again, if we are unable to edit these cuts seamlessly into the next scene. An updated timecode will be provided on the screen. Anytime we pause, there will be timer/countdown on screen to prompt you. So if we’re about to pause, there’ll be a countdown, and you are expected to pause as the number reaches 0. The same will happen when we press play after pausing. You will press play as the number reaches 0. Here are some popular ways people sync up the reaction with their own copy of the show:
Use a dual monitor PC setup to watch both screens simultaneously
Use the split screen functions on your computer/phone to watch them side by side
Chromecast / Screenshare one screen to your TV while watching the other screen on a phone or laptop
HDMI your laptop / tablet to the TV and use the TV as a 2nd monitor (not mirror display)
Use your Smart TV or Gaming console to play the YouTube reaction and your Phone/Laptop to play the show (or other way around)
Use Google chromes picture in picture mode to overlay your own copy of the show over our reaction in a smaller window size (Link to the extension here: ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/picture-in-picture-extens/hkgfoiooedgoejojocmhlaklaeopbecg?hl=en )

I don't reckon Spartan and Pudgey really care about the easter eggs, they'll spot some here and there. They're 100% always focused on the story for every show they watch lol

I've seen reactors completely ignore what they are watching because they are chasing after easter eggs, because someone told them about the easter eggs. Suddenly the show is all about the damn easter eggs. It made for a less enjoyable experience for me, watching the reaction, and I believe they would have had a better experience watching the show had they not known this info in advance. There was so much that they missed, as they searched for easter eggs.

I LOVE Mike Flanagan’s work and I have never considered myself a fan of “horror”. His stories are so incredible, and so well written.
Hill House is categorized as horror, but it’s really a tragically beautiful story of a family, a fantastic mystery, and the “horror” is more of a framing device for the story Mike is telling. It definitely has a couple of scary moments, but it’s always in service to the story and never gratuitous.
I HIGHLY recommend Bly Manor and Midnight Mass, as well. Bly is a beautiful, gothic love story, and Midnight Mass (my personal fave) is a stunning story that personally healed some of the religious trauma I’d been carrying around for years (that’s not an exaggeration).
I’m really excited that you seemed to enjoy this episode because it’s easily the slowest of the show. This and episode 2 are essential to the world building, but episode 3 is where we really start cooking with gas.
Love that I’m getting to enjoy this series again through your eyes!! Keep up the great, thoughtful reactions!!

I’d like to second that you guys should watch the other Mike Flanagan limited series after this one. All are only one season and none of the plots are related to each other. The only similarity is that Mike likes to use a lot of the same cast members each series, which is no bother to me because they are all such great actors.
Release order is:
- The Haunting of Hill House
- The Haunting of Bly Manor
- Midnight Mass
- The Fall of the House of Usher
Personally, Hill House and Midnight Mass are my two absolute favorites. Amazing TV. Midnight mass specifically hits home with those of us with (toxic) religious upbringings.

i understand what you mean, i am huge against spoilers and never want ANYTHING to ever even be leaning towards suggestions and spoilers (for myself or others). however, these hidden ghosts are not spoilers to the plot, in ANY way. they are purely little easter eggs that are fun to see if you can spot them in the background. i would never ever be for spoilers, but this is not one.

Unfortunately I haven't been into much of what you've watched since Breaking Bad ended, but I signed up for Patreon again just for this. Totally worth it. Rewatching it, things you're trying to piece together on a first watch hit SO differently when you already understand them. And there's so much foreshadowing and meaningful detail in almost every scene. I think by the end, even Spartan might want to rewatch it some day.

Yea bro trust me , I’ve tried to watch stuff with a reaction for the first time and I can never get into it as much. Also you can just binge the 10 episodes which are unbelievable then watch it with S&P as they only do one episode a week , A show this great you will want to see by yourself the first time.

Please, no spoilers. If the creator wanted viewers to know about this, they would note it in the opening credits. Let S&P have their own experience, just as the creator intended.

I came back just for Hill House. Just wait this show gets so good. I hope you guys decide to watch the Haunting of Bly Manor. Totally different story but most of the same actors. It’s very different but so so good as well.

I don’t like horror movies or horror shows. So I was skeptical when my wife forced me to watch it 🤣, it ends up being one of my all time favorite shows in the genre. Top tier

The moment I got the notification that you'd watch the show, I upgraded my membership again! I have to see it unedited with you guys. You are already so into it that I expect you to be fully blown away soon! It is such an amazing show. Enjoy! <3

Maybe you should watch it by yourself the first time. It’s hard to fully immerse yourself with a reaction and this is a fantastic pilot .

I've never seen this show, also haven't gravitated much towards the Horror realm before outside of a few classic movies like Event Horizon.
But this first episode was quite compelling. Not altogether that scary, more of an atmospheric horror, the vibes were great.

I didn't see this the first time I watched it, but when Steve and Mrs Dudley are talking about the Hills and the mother walks in, there's a face behind her 😳

Of course a dany stan doesn’t care much for a masterpiece lol, mid opinion.

2024-08-26 11:18:23 +0000 UTC
Yes All time , If you know Writing ,Acting, Directing and Cinematography, then yes it arguably is . The story is imo arguably the greatest.

Maybe the greatest written season ever imo.

2024-08-26 11:14:57 +0000 UTC
Amazing show!!! I wish we could get 2 episodes a week for this masterpiece of television lol but from your guy’s opinions on horror in the intro , I’d say y’all haven’t seen much great horrors bc I understand some horrors are bad but some are amazing …I always say hill house is arguably more Drama than horror. It’s just a perfect show, I don’t think I can say that about any show except this one and I do relate to Steve bc I would be him in this situation and not really believe it . Luke and Nell are my favourites with Steve taking 3rd place. All amazing characters.

I've never heard of this show, let alone seen it. My journey will be a first time experience like yours, but I gotta keep it real..... first episode didn't impress me. Hope it gets better.

Excited to start this show with you guys, ive never seen it before but i have seen a couple of Flanagan's movies and they are pretty solid.
You guys should really do a special ocation poll for horror movies during october. For people like you who are not big fans of the genre i would recomend these movies because not only are they scary but they all have very good scripts, good acting and good directing.

I like it when nobody tells me anything about something I'm going to watch.. And S&P have said the same in other reactions. Plenty of things to let them know about in advance, but what's the point?

just finished the episode, and just the end of it almost brings tears to my eyes out of how giddy i am for you all to watch everything. its so good. so glad yall enjoyed it, it only gets better from here. i havent read the otehr comments so idk if anyone answered, but yes the night that nell died was the same night that all the siblings woke up. this show does switch back and forth between time periods so my biggest tip would just be to try and stay aware for that. :) thanks guys!

Ohhhh, ummm... okay... blink* blink*
Trying so hard to keep my mouth shut.. help!!
wish they had a bigger screen to watch this on..
Edit: If I could offer a suggestion, if it's possible to darken your background again like you did with Tropic Thunder would help a lot.. Haunting has a lot of dark scenes which will be easier to view for us Patreons, thanks guys..

My first time watching. I am someone who shies away from the macabre, horror, disturbing scenes, creepy stuff. I am going to watch it with you guys and not skip ahead. I have been cheating with Peakey, but I love that show so much I couldn't wait. This is interesting. My linear mind was having a bit of trouble following what appears to be no time line lol. It is interesting how each person in the family reacted differently as Pudgey said. Also, I found it strange that Nell could contact them, but she was dead. Dad said it was a trick. I was wondering if she called them and then killed herself, but they saw her as if she was still alive. The Mom taking her own life is sad too. Nell was so traumatized by everything that she had to take her life. Luke is also really lost. Steve used the happenings to become some paranormal type investigator. I am interested how the women whose husband died in the car crash fits in, except for I believe it is because of Steve's work that she called on him to come and investigate. Good first episode - lots of questions, lots of people... I am still trying to figure out who all the women are since there are more of them. I forgot to mention that the Dudley's most likely don't live there because the otherworldly beings come out at night. Not sure why they are needed during the day, I guess to keep the house from turning into more of a nightmare - yikes..

One thing to think about when watching is yes, it’s a horror series, but it’s also more of a character study and a clinic in acting.

I love your tv & movie reactions, I always have. The two of you always manage to find something to make me view things I’ve watched a hundred times through a different lens. That said, your intros make me realize I’d kill for a two hour video of you two just having a conversation about anything. Your rapport always cracks me up 🤣

You're gonna love this show, I know it. I went into it very much like you guys, not a big horror fan at all, kinda skeptical it was gonna be my thing, but it had been recommended to me. Then it ended up being one of the best shows I've ever watched! Can't wait to see your journey with it.
Ailene Evangelista
2024-08-26 01:11:19 +0000 UTC
Been so excited for this! "Decent" doesn't do it justice, this is probably the greatest single season tv series (limited series) of all time, except for maybe Arcane. The atmosphere of this show is horror, but the true essence of HoHH is a really beautiful story about family, trauma, and grief. The first half of the season is excellent, and the second half contains multiple masterpiece episodes--I think you'll enjoy it a lot!
prepare to cry, this one goes right for the heartstrings!
Edit: keep in mind that this story is not told chronologically; each scene is a piece of the larger puzzle of Hill House, and it all comes together so well. Close attention is very rewarded!

Lets goooo! Such an incredible STORY! The family drama aspect is definitely what will hook you, but you're correct the thriller elements are there, it really is a fantastic one season show.. (also adult Steve is Daario from Game of Thrones haha). Glad you enjoyed the first episode, it definitely throws a lot out there at once to set a vibe, but you kept up well and it only gets better!
