Explaining: This House Has People In It

find the "R"

after watching the original short film I was like “ok how is he gonna spend 90 minutes talking about this” which quickly morphed into “oh my god how does he only spend 90 minutes talking about this”

"Please ignore the repairman he's recovering from being jumped by 2 guys"

I love when horror is done in broad daylight. I think when done right, it's even scarier than the dark.

The dad especially is such an uncomfortably good actor, it makes it seem less like funny nonsense and more like someone who's actually subtly unhinged.

How the hell does a short horror film about a girl phasing through a floor turn into "this guy dresses up as a blue cat and eats clay because south african legend"

How did we go from "Girl falls through floor" to "sonic the hedgehog ripoff eats clay"

even 5 years later, this video has some absolutely GOLD quotes; "Ignore any movement you see behind Tom, that's just Dennis, the repairman, recovering after being absolutely wrecked by two guys who jumped him", “He straps on a costume and eats clay, just like a South African” or "This family watches a show on tv where a man with an imaginary disease praises a cure that is a metaphor for horse shit"

I keep coming back to this video but if you notice, the pink guy doesn't actually cause any harm. It just exists around the house. It doesn't attack anyone, it doesn't destroy things, but they're still scared of it. Just like Lynks

"It gives him aspiration..." "...to be a blue cat?" "To be a FAST cat"

Lynks disease is when you watch an 11 minute video, then spend 4-5 hours trying to link it together

i think the reason the mom texted the daughter asker her to not be in the bathroom for so long was because the ABC company can’t put cameras in the bathroom and for some reason she wants her daughter to be visible to the company. maybe the reason Madison was just sitting in the bathroom is because she doesn’t want to be filmed, and that could also be the reason that she avoids going home (leaving her mom in the parking lot to hang with her friends)

I understand it's all supposed to be confusing, but man the fact that Boomy ran by the window in the video while Madison and Dad were in the kitchen while we're to believe the irl Boomy is Dad is still messing with my head HEAVILY

"Do I have Lynks?" "Yes you do. you have it." For some reason that makes me absolutely lose my shit

"I think Boomy inspires him." "To be a blue cat?" "To be a FAST cat." im in tears

The dad explaining, very seriously, that Boomy is “blue and he’s very, very fast” was unbelievably funny

Several words: obsession leading to neglect. A recurring theme is obsession, paranoia, and child neglect. I think the people and things being face down and stuck is an allegory for being "too far gone" into a delusion or trend, and that madison falling through the floor is symbolic of a descent into madness, possibly death. The pink thing is probably personification of the combination of paranoia and child neglect plaguing the family. This personally reminds me of an extreme religious household or something, one that practices home remedies over actual medical treatment and as a result, the children of the family suffer, believing that they are riddled with something terrible, and the parents punishing or neglecting them because of that, beit sin/"sinful behavior", or lynks. I don't think that's what this is and allegory for, its just reminiscent of it. There is a potential that lynks isnt even important at all and is a red herring, the real issue being the abuse and neglect of the children due to the parent's insanity and obsession, which is overlooked due to everything else going on

"don't pay attention to the back window, it's just Dennis the repairman being jumped by two people, but we'll talk about that later" because that's just a normal thing that happens

I came in here wanting to know why Madison fell through the floor and idk even know what this is anymore

everyone talks about "ignore any movement you see behind tom, that's just dennis the repairman recovering after being absolutely wrecked by two guys who jumped him", but not enough people talk about "maybe you're like jackson, who suddenly develops extreme mental processing speed and tries to hack into the government with 4 laptops on the kitchen floor". that took me tf out the first time i watched this holy shit
