Episode 3 of "Mare of Easttown" is here and damn a lot of crazy shit goes down! I am honestly not inspired to write a witty episode description this time around (I'm literally turning into Mare- I only need her vape tbh). However, my lack of inspiration in writing this description does not does not mean that the episode will not be fun. In all honesty, I came across some pretty funny bits as I was editing. Am I good judge of comedy? Probably not, but I tried. Hope you enjoy the episode and remember that planting drugs on other people is an asshole move! Don't be that asshole person! Cough. Cough. You know who you are! 

Fathers... They're complicated. Some are good, some are eh, and others not so much. In this second episode we are introduced to Detective Colin Zabel, and honestly he was every girls 1st crush when he was in American Horror Story. Can you guess who? 

We get a little poetic justice from a wrongdoing that occurred during the first episode, but it isn't enough to get through the heartbreak of losing Erin. A teen mom whose life was taken too soon and now a small child will have to grow up without his mother. Sigh. 

I again get really passionate about how much I hate bullies! If you listened to the first episode you already know who i am talking about. Starts with BRI and ends with ANNA. Remember to not be an asshole and enjoy the episode!

It’s spooky Halloween season & we are ready to get frightened! In this episode we cover “El Muerto” from the anthology series “Two Sentence Horror Stories” and I share with you my favorite spoo00OOooky folklore. Here is a hint: BEK!

I couldn’t end this 1st season without dropping a bonus "The Haunting of Hill House" episode because I know we've all have had time to “eat it, digest it, and shit it out”. Get it? If you did not get this reference, you’re Leigh-terally killing me! Okay, that was my attempt to be funny and I failed. I apologize. Deeply. 

Hopefully you actually enjoy this full hour of me giving my unsubstantiated thoughts that nobody asked for. Thank you so much to all the "F*cked Up Fam" that asked questions and to the two very special people who wrote in and to let us all know how this show f*cked them up! The first season is now over, but oh don't be sad- Best believe that I will keep mispronouncing shit for more seasons to come. Listen till the end for the reveal of which show we will be covering next season!

A Guide to the Ghosts in THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE

"I am home. Now to climb." YO! We freaking made it! Episode 10 of The Haunting of Hill House! All of our questions are finally answered in the season finale! I had a knot in my throat all throughout this episode, and you will understand why after you listen/watch. Remember that precious things live inside of Hill House, and not all of them belong to the Hills or the Crains or any of the previous owners... Oh, and the rest is confetti! 

If you're sad because this is the last episode of the show, don't be too sad because I will be dropping a wrap-up episode next week! Don't forget to send me all your questions and the reasons why this show f*cked you up! I am dying to hear them all! 

Can we all start calling nightmares "screaming meemies"?! Please? I am begging you. Also, what's up with Olivia not knowing the difference between being awake and a dream. I am sure Poppy "Insane Asylum" Hill had something to do with that... 

I have never doubted baby Luke and this episode reveals why. No wonder he is so traumatized! IT. ALL. MAKES. SENSE. NOW! 

Hope you enjoy episode 9! One more episode after this one and we are done with Hill House! Stay tuned for what is to come next. 

According to Google, witness marks are “an intentional, accidental or naturally-occurring spot – a line, a groove, or another contrasting area – that serves as an indicator of how things previously were implemented, used, repaired, or what processes were followed,” but in this episode we find out that the Crain siblings (specifically Steven) did not know how to read them… Typical Steven bevahior, smh. If only he could read those witness marks that were always there, a lot of hurt could have been avoided. It wasn’t mental illness, Steven! It was the literal ghosts that haunted you that one summer you and your family lived in Hill House!

Article I referenced when I mentioned that Steven might be a psychopath:

Can we all agree that funerals are not a good time? Nellie's funeral is no different- Except for the ghosts, of course. "Eulogy" shows us how the Crain's continue to cope with the death of their loved one and it is not pretty. A grieving family with wayyyy too many issues? Calls for an interesting watch. Theo is hungover and full of guilt. Shirley is mad at everyone. Luke is seeing things that should not be there and Steven keeps trying to convince everyone that the shit they have been seeing is mental illness. Hugh? Well, he keeps talking to the ghost of his dead wife, but that seems normal in comparison to everyone else. This episode reveals a lot of things and we get a couple of really good scares! Hope you enjoy this episode just as much as I enjoyed putting it together! 

The Red Room holds all the answers, but how do we get that damn door opened?! Will find out soon. 

"Two Storms" is definitely my favorite episode of The Haunting of Hill House (and yes, I know I said the same thing about "Touch" but please disregard). The parallels between the past and present day are MUAH (chef kiss). All of the Crazy Crains, minus my girl Nellie RIP (oh and Olivia), all together again, you know some madness is about to go down. The last thing I have to say about this episode is: 

I was right here and you could not see me... (sigh)
