Haunting Of Bly Manor Puns

I am bawling my eyes out,this is what I wanted looking for movie with gays in it as a teenager. 10/10

I can't seem to figure it out on my Vero 4K / OSMC.

I've tried having both in one 'The Haunting' folder and treating them like season 1 and season 2 of the same show, and I've tried putting them in separate folders and treating them both as season 1 (which is probably more appropriate, since they're separate mini series), and neither way resulted in them being scraped and added to my library.

Thanks

Okay, I need someone to talk to about this! I finally got around to watching Bly😭 I’m both in love and devastated!! help

From the fourth episode: “if I find out you’ve not been relaxing, there’ll be serious consequences.”

The top energy from this line (I’m not through the series no spoilers please)

If you love women as much as I do, go watch Bly manor. It’s a wholesome, spooky love story.

Who ever has seen 'Haunting of Bly Manor' on netflix, do you think it was a story of twin flames?? The housekeeper & the chef, the nanny & the gardener. It's also interesting how the two couples love was so fated, yet so difficult to stay and be together. The whole story line was about true love and i think those two couples were twin flames. What are your thoughts?

Steven Crain said it best :

"Love is the relinquishment of logic, the willing relinquishing of reasonable patterns. We yield to it or we fight it, but we cannot meet it halfway. Without it, we cannot continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality."

There are plenty of books about ghosts and haunted houses, but I'm yet to find anything that hits me in the feels makes me think like a monologue in Mike Flanigan's shows.

Make me be like "fuck what even is life?" With every page

I’m watching the third season of You and looked up Victoria Pedretti, which led me to this unexpected surprise.

https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/bly-manor-star-victoria-pedretti-her-character-s-queer-journey-n1245108

> In preparation for her roles, Pedretti said she sometimes draws inspiration from the performances of other actors. For Dani, it was Timothée Chalamet’s character Elio in “Call Me By Your Name,” the critically acclaimed 2017 gay romance set in Italy in the 1980s.

> While Pedretti acknowledged Dani and Elio are “very different” characters, she said she drew inspiration from Elio’s “kind of curiosity.”

I just finished it... and god!!! I loved everything in the show:

costumes - elegant in most cases and so well fitting to the portrated time and actors (maybe more for actresess);

characters - I loved them all, they were the most sweetest and amazing people which I would dream of to meet in real life!

acting - all of them seemed amazing, but those children... that's some next level. How that boy was acting grown up parts I was blown away.

And och that sweet sweet kitchen... Sometimes watching it I imagined myself just sitting there with the characters and having a warmest evening tea with soft laughts and the nicest company.

Perfectly splended - it was so quirky and fun for me. It just added so much charm.

Och and accents...I like them too so much!

I don't know was there anything I didn't like...

I enjoy horror movies, but I am quite afraid of them at the same time. But I still watch them. Even this one gave me some of the headache as I get very tennse in horror scenes. But I skipped most of them or just shut my eyes. I would prefer none of it at all. But it wasn't that bad. :)

I saw it also got a lot of hate from those who had seen something like a first season of the series. And I guess it was only because Haunting of Bly manor was very different.

Spoilers for the whole series . . . .

I found this show started off quite slowly and I took a while to get into it. Was pleasently surprised to see familiar faces from Haunting of Hill House playing different characters. I kept trying to guess what the twist was the whole way through - there are flash backs and ghosts of dead characters that are seen by living characters, but we are left wondering if they're really dead. I shipped Hannah and Owen something fierce, so the fact that we find out Hannah can never leave Bly Manor and is essentially living out flash backs of her life not realising she died was guy wrenching. Once we get to the tale of the two sisters.... Holy shit. It was a roller-coaster of emotions - first I enjoyed the bond the sisters had, then I found Viola to be selfish and manipulative. Then I had sympathy for Viola, who was dying and couldn't bond with her daughter (she was contagious) for years. Just the complete heartbreak I felt for her going through that. But her sister Perdita also went through heartbreak. She not only has to care for Viola and see her sister almost due several times, but also has repressed feelings for Viloas husband. We get to the part where Perdita finally snaps and kills her sister - this is where the story line gets amazing and what sticks in my mind. Violas spirit lives in a locked chest of treasures she made her husband promise to give to her daughter. The way they shoot these scenes is so creative, and that hopeful, expectant look on her face when she thinks her daughter is finally opening the chest, only to be faced with thieving Perdita and her fury and rage and ultimately killing her was a masterpiece. This spirit, still trapped in the chest which gets thrown into the swamp on the property then kicks off another very sad story about Viola. The years go by, she gets up, wonders the house looking for her daughter, doesn't find her, then goes back to her chest in the swamp. Anyone who gets in her way she kills. Those people are confined to the house for eternity, eventually losing their face and all personality. This is where we see her, years and years later, take a little boy into the swamp with her. Once you realise the faceless boy in the story is this little guy who has been wondering the house alone and forever a young child, it's devastating.

Just so many feelings watching this unfold. I highly recommend this series.

Ok I know I'm late to this party. I stayed away from it because I absolutely adored the haunting of hill house and everybody was saying it wasn't nearly as good. I just don't like setting myself up for disappointment. There's so much good stuff to watch, why watch something that's likely disappointing on purpose? Well, I decided to give it a go. Would it be hyperbolic of me to say that it's some of the best horror content ever put to a television? It's better than the haunting of hill house. The writing is absolutely top shelf. Every character has such depth to them. Even the "bad" characters, which in this show, all of those characters operate in the grey. The cinematography was phenomenal and the attention to detail in every aspect of the production was awe inspiring. Big criticisms I've seen is that the romance is forced and it's not scary. Ok

1. No, that romance was completely natural and made sense. The writing is so good that I felt the sexual tension way ahead of time. People who thought it came out of nowhere were just not paying attention.
2. Scary is subjective, but this was horrifying in an existential kind of way. Imagine slowly losing your memories, personality, and actual identity until you are essentially a soulless husk? That's horrific. No it wasn't in your face scary. It's the kind of scary that sticks with you and haunts you well after the show is over.

Just felt the need to share my feelings on the show. Thoughts?

I loved Haunting of Hill House and have watched it several times. I sadly didn’t enjoy Haunting of Bly Manor nearly as much when I first watched it (maybe because it wasn’t as scary?). I’m about to rewatch it now so hopefully I enjoy it more than I did the first time!

I just finished the Haunting of Bly Manor and I loved it, Damie is now officially on my list of favorite wlw ships, but I was curious as to what the general wlw community thought of the ending in particular. I've noticed that the general consensus seems to be rather divided- one half thought the ending was fine but sad, while the other seems to dislike it as it played too much into the bury the gays trope.

As someone who also finds the bury the gays trope frustrating, I wasn't necessarily against it being used for Bly Manor. I felt a tragic ending fit the overall tone of the series which dealt with topics of loss and grief, and namely because, at least in my opinion, the ending wasn't necessarily a tragic one. Dani's sacrifice was a selfless one, and her memory lives on symbolically in the ending- the final conversation between Jamie and Flora before the wedding being the most evident of this. The "It's not a ghost story, it's a love story" line really got this point across.

I think I also just really like angst endings. Of course I love a happy ending as well, but there's just something about a bittersweet ending and the empty feeling inside it gives that really sticks with me. That's just me of course, and I'm interested to hear what everyone else thought of it.

I’ve not seen the comparison around on any of the review blogs or videos, but Once, Upon Time gave me really strong echoes of episode 5 of The Haunting of Bly Manor.

Spoilers for Bly Manor below.

If you haven’t seen it I would recommend watching it, but the general concept of THoBM 05 is the housekeeper character who has always seemed a little out of it through the previous episodes is revealed to be unstuck in time, living and reliving her memories. It’s a powerful, emotional episode where she has to witness and play the part to the most significant moments in her life. It’s heartbreaking and very effective. To spoil The Haunting of Bly Manor further <!the realisation we have in this episode is that Hannah (the housekeeper) is dead and her ghost is holding on to her strongest memories, which is why certain scenes replay as we learn why they mean so much to her. The “why” she is reliving the memories adds another layer of significance to them.!>

In OUT there was a moment where Vinder asked why he had to be in a certain memory which reminded me of this so vividly. It’s the idea of memory as punishment that is so compelling and unusual.

Ultimately this concept didn’t really land though. Seeing each of our characters strongest memories is a fantastic shorthand for characterisation that wasn’t capitalised on. Combining this with the “why” not really being built on makes a lot of the episode hollower than it could have been.

I have the attention span of a goldfish, but would love to feel the feels I feel when I hear the monologues in these shows
