This week we continue our journey through Mike Flanagan's The Haunting of Hill House. Today is the 2nd episode of the show: "Open Casket." This one focuses in on the eldest girl of the Crain family who deals with death by trying to "fix" it. We chat about Shirley's fixation with fixing things by covering over the bad, how we feel about embalming and open caskets, and Flanagan's brilliant transitions and structural touches. 

Discussion Question: How do you feel about the embalming process and open casket funerals?

Next week: Episode 3: "Touch"
