33:46 The actress who played young Roderick's wife was in Hill House, but she played Poppy, not the Bent-Neck-Lady. She also played Perdita in Bly Manor.
Just realized this episode uses the double meaning of "acid". The title and the plot is the short story "The Masque of the Red Death" where there is a plague, its effects are described like those of the acid rain. The main character Prince Prospero recedes into an abbey and throws there a masquerade ball. A guest comes costumed as the Red Death and then everyone dies, obviously a metaphor for the plague reaching them. Verna's Red Death masque resembles heavily the one in the original Phantom of the Opera movie of 1925 when the Phantom appears in this costume. Rufus Griswold is named after a real poet and rival of Poe. Annabel Lee after the poem Roderick quotes to her, which was the last poem by Poe, probably written for his wife. Camille's quote "Toby, Dammit!" builds the name of Toby Dammit, the protagonist in Poe's story "Never Bet the Devil Your Hand".
@Rash23215 "They" are watching reaction videos of a tv show. "They" should know to avoid the comments to avoid spoilers. Which, btw, his comment wasnt even a spoiler. Idk if your brain is made of mashed potatoes or if the hamster on a wheel in your brain happened to fire a neuron, but not every thought needs to be expressed to the rest of us.
@@Rash23215How is it spoiler when we just viewed it and the reactors viewe & edited this video days ago? Perhaps reframing from reading the comments section until after you have completed the video might help ease your frustration.
Also so it seems that Fred and Tammy technically aren’t bastards since he had them with Annabelle in his first marriage, whereas all the other kids he had out of wedlock later (Fred and Tammy seem to be the oldest). That’s why they have more uppity attitude about the others
I also wonder if at one point Roderick was married to Victorine's mother after Annabelle, because Victorine doesn't seem to consider herself a bastard & neither do Frederick or Tammy based on their conversations. They seem to only refer to Camille, Prospero, & Napoleon as bastards.
I like how every reactor calls the chimpanzees “monkeys” dozens of times while watching this, only for the show to later have Victorine drag people who do that
Annabel Lee isn’t the Bent Neck Lady, that was Victoria Pedretti. She was Poppy Hill. I mix her up with the actress who played Charlotte Wingrave in Bly Manor 😅
I always get Katie Parker (Annabelle Lee) and Alex Essoe (Charlotte Wingrave) mixed up at first too lol. Alex actually is in this briefly; she was on the TV in the first episode when Camille is watching about the trial - she's shown on the stand as the whistleblower.
@@theclairewhy My mind is blown I didn't know the actress who played Annabel Lee also played Poppy in haunting at hill house. I thought she looked familiar
33:47 his wife played crazy Poppy the “screaming meemies” lady in haunting of hill house and she played the bly sister in haunting of bly manor. Victoria Pedretti was Nell in hill house and she was the bent neck lady
Michael Trucco is the actor that plays Rufus Griswold and he is the same actor that played Mayor Wade in "Midnight Mass". Crystal Balint is the actress that plays Morelle Usher and she is the same actor that played Wade's wife in "Midnight Mass".
Annabel Lee, has got to be the most haunting poem I have ever read. I think it's in every hard core goth's lexicon.🖤💀 ...for the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And so all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling, my darling, my life, and my bride, In her sepulchre there by the sea - In her tomb by the sounding sea. E.A. Poe
The witness on the stand that was playing on the news while Camille was watching was the doctors mother in Midnight Mass. She also played Danny Torrences' mother in Doctor Sleep.
I have no clue why but Cody, your short little head dance when the club music hit made me laugh my ass off so much for no understandable reason. It just tickled me.
I love seeing the deiference between reactors who know Edgar Allen Poes work and reactors who don't. I've noticed the reactors who are familiar tend to guess who/what Verna is by the 2nd or 3rd episode, altho some get it in the first. And I love hearing the theories of reactors who don't know Poe very well or at all. The theories are almost always wayyyy off base but I love it lol
The actress that plays Annabelle isn’t the actress that plays the bent neck lady in hill house but she plays the evil ghost in hill house which I can’t remember her name but she’s more of a prominent character towards the end of that show. Poppy?
Remember when the folder was thrown down in front of Prospero and they discussed these were abandon buildings and also the company was accused of dumping chemicals??? I'm not giving anything away. It's said right in the show. They never got rid of the chemicals they stored in the water tanks.
the sound design in the end of the episode is disgusting and i love it. this series is an impressive combination of edgar allan poe's work and mike flanagan's commentary on the sackler family and their horrifying work in the pharmaceutical industry. it's like if succession was a horror / thriller series. can't wait to see you react to the black cat episode - that one is my favourite.
The acid came from the poor decisions their dad rodrick made. So they were fighting a court case about poor maintenance on the buildings and harmful chemicals it was putting out. ( 1st bad decision) The older brother was suppose to have them demolished years ago but never did (2nd bad decision). BC Perry didnt care literally showed up to the meeting late and was warned by the workers the building wasnt safe he went forward.(another bad decision) So when Verna warned him about one decision leading to another. She wasnt just talking about how he came into the world but also what was leading to that exact moment of karma.
Hey there, 🤗 Verna is not the devil, she is not even evil. Verna is an anagram for Raven. She is the raven. 🐦⬛ She isn't human. She is the executor of fate or the executor of karma. Verna is a shape shifter, she can manifest to each person at the moment before their death as they can see her. She is offering each of these people the most honest conversation they will over have in their lives. People with power get the opportunity to do good things or to do bad things. Verna offers them the opportunity to make a different decision. That is why she was telling him you could stop this, in the room. She is supernatural. She sees you from the inside out. She allows people to tell the truth that us as human beings rarely do. Each character is like an instrument, Verna knows how to play those instruments like a symphony. ❤❤
ello uncle cody & aunt bridge, might i suggest something that’s entirely off topic? 😅 you and your beautiful wife briiiigeeeeette, would be amazing in a daily podcast kinda like the h3h3 setup. obviously you and your beautiful wife briiiigeeeeette would be A BILLION times more entertaining. you could talk about everything hollywood & celebrity and - whatever!! you could make hundreds of thousands of dollars! then millions!!! oh mah gad you know how epic that would be? (dune reverend mother voice) DOOOOO IIIIT!!!! ❤

I realized that about the acid (the drug and the rain) too!
BRIGECO dropping these out constantly, fuckin love it. One of my favorite RUclips couples
Prospero's death is the most well planned death of the series. Him not even checking that it wasn't water was smart
Why was it smart?? And stop spoiling
@Ras23215 it isn’t a spoiler, we see in this episode that he suggests the tanks and doesn’t check that it is water.
@@hntrthmpsn spoiler being u saying it's the most well planned death.... now they'll keep their expectations in check about the other deaths

When Perry is crashing that meeting with the lawyers, they mention toxic materials being found at the properties but Perry tuned that part out 🙃 RIP
Yes, and then him deciding to hook random tanks up to the sprinklers is insane.
I literally did a happy dance when I saw this. So excited for you to watch this episode!
Juno's moment with Leonore was everything
Here for the cuddle puddle
😅😅
@@ArsGratiaArtis85 yes 😂😂😂
Mark Hammill would know a thing or two about toxins. In particular the laughing variety.
Also so it seems that Fred and Tammy technically aren’t bastards since he had them with Annabelle in his first marriage, whereas all the other kids he had out of wedlock later (Fred and Tammy seem to be the oldest). That’s why they have more uppity attitude about the others
Hilarious that they cared so much when their dad and aunty were bastards that weren’t acknowledged 😂

OMG a Repo! The Genetic Opera reference?!! That’s a woman of culture 😮

Verna is an anagram of Raven - which is the bird, I think. Soooo glad you're watching. This show was awesme.

It kills me that Victoria hasn't worked with Flanagan since Bly Manor. I miss her
Toby Dammit is a Poe character, as pretty much every character in this series is named for a Poe character.
When Prosper walks in and sees Verna on the bed. She's in the exact position she, Carla Gugino, was in the poster art for Gerald's Game.
5:42 His parents were married.
Oh hey wasn't expecting a Repo! reference. Fucking rad 🤘

Leo genuinely loved Perry and wanted what’s best for him ☹️
Annabel Lee, has got to be the most haunting poem I have ever read. I think it's in every hard core goth's lexicon.🖤💀

Of my darling, my darling, my life, and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea -
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
E.A. Poe
Have you caught who Bill-T is yet? Sturge from Midnight Mass. And Annabelle is Poppy.
And the actor who plays Rufus Griswold played the mayor in Midnight Mass.
The witness on the stand that was playing on the news while Camille was watching was the doctors mother in Midnight Mass. She also played Danny Torrences' mother in Doctor Sleep.
The sister-in-law was the Mayor's wife and Leeza's mother in Midnight Mass as well.

FINALLY you guys watching this awesome series, keep them coming 😊
The full dory of "Is she his conscience" took me out.
3:01 foreshadowing the end of the episode
Rome as in the Fall of Rome probably lol 😂
Something I always tell my sisters is that if something doesn’t feel right, gtho. Just like this 27:38 Bye 👋
Ibuprofen wasn’t available in the US except as an Rx for Rheumatoid Arthritis in 1974 until 1984 when it was over the counter.
The acid rain rly is disgusting cant wait to see you react to that
The actress that plays Annabelle isn’t the actress that plays the bent neck lady in hill house but she plays the evil ghost in hill house which I can’t remember her name but she’s more of a prominent character towards the end of that show. Poppy?
yep, and the old mom in midnight mass.
@@ferbies nah.... the mom in midnight mass is played by different actress.... she played the 2 kids' mother in bly manor
@ that’s actually a different actress I believe. Cause I don’t think the actress that plays Annabelle is in midnight mass. They look similar though

Verna is an anagram…
It's my bedtime, but I'll be back later to watch this
Prospero didn’t bother to test what was in the rooftop tanks and just assumed it was water.
So excited that the episodes are coming out daily!!
Only that you guys are watching this that I’m prepared to rewatch it! Think it’s probably the best of Mike Flannagan produced by Netflix imo😊
WHAT A MARATON!!! ENJOY IT!!
I still believe the bartender is Death, and think the skull mask that she wore at the party is a strong giveaway.
His wife is not the bent neck lady aka Nell aka Victoria Pedretti
Carla as Verna make me feel things

I just think she is death. I actually haven’t watched this before, so I’m delighted to come along with you on this wild ride!!!
Totally laughed at you saying you couldn’t be paid to go to an orgy. Agree to disagree, but guess I’m the one who dies while you live in this case.
