When a house is both hungry and awake, every room becomes a mouth
That's a gorgeous line.

Therapist: Houses being alive and malignant aren't real, it can't hurt you.
House: Aight, Bet.

Perhaps it's an unintended parallel, but one of the first things Anatomy reminded me of was the experience of living with chronic illness. It's like being an inhabitant in a house that fights you at every conceivable opportunity, a house that hates you. A house you can never move out of. You can try to renovate it and hope it makes peace with the fact that you live there, but it's your home, forever, whether you like it or not.

One of my favorite characterization of a place is room 1408. “It’s an evil fucking room.”
Something being evil for the sake of it is so underrated as a concept. It’s like cosmic terror - you can’t understand it, change it, stop it, or escape it.

its kinda comforting how universal the childhood mad sprint up the stairs in the dark experience is. i've never really met anyone who hasn't had that experience.

"a house malignant, boiling with leprosy, with lesions deeper than its walls" is a line that still gives me chills on my dozenth rewatch

I was playing through A Plague Tale earlier today and this excerpt struck me.
"Can you feel that?
...
When you enter a place that has been long abandoned, theres something in the air.
Its feels like...interrupting a conversation."

“If I’m sitting alone at home on a dark and stormy night, and I glance nervously up towards the bedroom doorway, my fear is not that my house is being haunted by a spirit called Mabel who died in the 19th century at the age of fourteen and is constantly seeking her favourite teddy bear… because all of these details both humanize her and make her ridiculous.
My fear is that there will be something standing in the doorway, because the doorway is where things come to stand.
Because unoccupied spaces, in our imaginations, must find something to fill them.”
— from “The Saturday Interview: ‘I Am in Eskew’ podcast”

When I played Anatomy, I was taken back by how accurate the narrator had talked about how humans care for the things they built, that we had sympathy for them. I had thought that was a beautiful way to describe how I felt whenever I saw abandoned houses. I didn't think they were ever creepy, just spaces that needed to be filled. It was when the recording started repeating on the word "sympathy" that I started getting chills. I felt like my small heartaches for empty houses was being mocked, scorned. The house in Anatomy didn't care if I felt bad for it. It didn't want me here. It hated me. Maybe it even hated the way that I felt towards it, like I was the one mocking *it*. This wasn't a place that wanted sympathy. It just wanted revenge.

The part about the "house with leprosy" is so reminiscent of Pathologic, entire districts diseased to their foundations even when the residents have been dead for weeks

Just a heads up: my 4 year old son is really into Halloween and he caught a glimpse of the thumbnail for this vid on my front-page, so he asked to watch it. Long story short, now he asks to watch "the scary house" at least once every couple of days while wrapped in blankets.
Congrats, your video essay just turned into a 4 year old kid's favorite horror "movie" lol
Ps: huge fan of your work, this is probably one of my favorite of yours.

As someone in the construction industry, there is something greater than reality about a house, or a building. The wood, the plaster, the paint, the plumbing — all is built over a period of months or years, with tens or hundreds of hands involved in each step of the process. But the complete building takes on a life of its own in a way that is difficult to explain. You can see the house built step by step, your own hands framing the struts and screwing the drywall in place — but when the house is complete, it isn’t yours anymore. It is more than the sum of its parts. It’s something you can drive past and feel a sense of pride in knowing you had a hand in building, but it isn’t “yours”.
House of Leaves has always been one of the books that stayed with me the most throughout my life. You would think that in knowing the process and being involved in every step of construction would take away the horror of works like “Anatomy” or “The Haunting of Hill House”. But in truth, knowing the guts of the building only makes it more awe inspiring to comprehend its singular existence. It’s knowing that a building will outlast me, perhaps hundreds of years after I am dead and gone. It’s knowing that a building has existed, perhaps thousands of years before I was born.
There is an undeniable power to the built environment, the walls and roofs within which we spend so much of our lives.
Thank you for making this video. Incredibly well done, and has given me quite a bit to think about.

honestly, the idea of being an unwanted guest in a house - being hated - is not as scary to me as the flipside. a house that, in its time of being alone, turns not to bitterness but obsession. a house that, upon the arrival of any human life, becomes enraptured with its guest. it pleads not to be left alone, trapping the person in a maze of walls, screaming its love for them. a house that, should the guest try to leave, does not allow it.
i find that much, much scarier.

That segment about sleeping and shutting out your senses , putting your faith into the house that it protects you and keeps itself shut . That was spine-chilling and terrifying .

I'd be really interested to explore the intersection of haunted houses and ghost ships. They're both homes that people live inside, but one embodies the sinister betrayal of being the very image of cozy domesticity, while the other has the wrinkle of being mobile and carrying people through a hostile environment, while also almost being a "creature" of its own already, with a purpose that can be similarly "betrayed" and left unfulfilled.

"Haunting of Hill House" was the whole inspiration for Anatomy and the connection and comparisons you've made here make me happier than I can say. Thank you so, so much for this <3
