THoHH, Ep. 8: “Witness Marks”
“Our family is like an unfinished meal for that house …”
Spook Factor: 👻👻 out of 👻👻👻👻👻
The House is calling, and the Crain children hear and respond one by one in the 2nd to last episode of the series. The plot begins to speed up as the children learn as adults what happened back then and what will happen now as they journey to the house once again.
CWs: hallucinations, discussion of suicide, paranormal phenomena, corpse
OWs: discussion of fertility treatments, drug mention, strong language, discussions of mental illness and self-inflicted injury, alcohol, discussion of paranormal sensitivity, attempted arson
Jump Scares (in chronological order):
Shirl leads Theo to the door.
“Thank you, I love it!”
Shirl and Theo start yelling in the car.
Theo sees someone at the top of the stairs.
What to Expect:
How do we distinguish between mental illness and paranormal sensitivity? How do we treat the disturbances caused by either? Theo’s breakdown toward the end of the episode is as heartbreaking as it is scary to think about, and Kate Siegel brought it home with her delivery.
