So, You Like Horror? Podcast #108- The Haunting of Hill House Part 2
Episode 107
Friday, 23 January, 2026
In Part 2 of our The Haunting of Hill House breakdown, we cover Episodes 6 through 10 of the 2018 Netflix series and track how the Crain family’s grief finally stops hiding behind coping mechanisms. We start with “Two Storms,” the episode built around extended long takes that trap the siblings in the funeral home while the past and present collide. Shirley’s anger, Theo’s suppression, Steven’s denial, and Luke’s bargaining all play out in real time as Nell lingers silently in the background. From there, “Eulogy” reframes Hugh Crain as the quiet protector whose secrecy was meant as love but turned into long-term damage, while “Witness Marks” forces Steven to confront the evidence he’s spent years explaining away. “Screaming Meemies” centers on Olivia’s descent and shows how Hill House weaponizes maternal fear through bargaining and the illusion of safety. We close with “Silence Lay Steadily,” where the Red Room is revealed, each sibling is pulled into a personalized illusion, and the series lands on its central idea: the real haunting is grief, and the only way out is to witness it, name it, and live with what it leaves behind.
