I was currently fostering bottle baby kittens when I saw this for the first time. It made it extra horrifying. During the pandemic it was bad - lots of diseased orphan kittens coming to shelters - but even under the best of circumstances, orphan kittens under a week old have a VERY high mortality rate. And she was feeding them cow's milk (no no) and, in general, was just a little girl with no experience. It's very likely that, even if they weren't living in a haunted house, those kittens weren't likely to last. And in response to your open-casket question: I totally agree. She was out of line. But I can understand why her trauma made her that way.

2021-11-06 11:52:43 +0000 UTCSorry, I have more thoughts. The writing for this show is just brilliant and it'll all come together piece by piece! So good! Btw Stephen King writes about three decades of horror (in print and on screen) in his non-fiction book "Danse Macabre" - including Shirely Jackson's novel that the show is based on and that influenced King, too (unsurprisingly, The Shining, Rose Red mini series etc...?). He explores what makes horror horrifying and what scares us and why. But why do we like to be scared? Why is it fun (and not fun) to be scared and why is it so enjoyable seeing other people jump? What is wrong with us??!! Time for some research about "voluntarily engaging in high arousal negative experiences (VANE)" (thanks, Google scholar)

2021-11-01 20:29:32 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! Rewatching this episode brought me to tears twice. Regarding your question about open casket: generally, I’d definitely say NO, thanks! - but we had an open casket for my father. I wanted that & my youngest brother as well (my mother didn’t, not sure about my other brothers). My reason was that I was the one who found him after his sudden passing and I needed to get that picture out of my head. He did not look & feel like my dad (my niece and nephew, both fairly young, kept referring to “the doll/dummy”), but after the viewing was the first time I could eat and breathe again; it really felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest. I agree, though, that everybody has to process grief their own way. I also think that what we are comfortable with probably depends case-by-case on our relationship with/to the person who passed and how we want to remember them. On a lighter note: you forgot to crack open your closet door for the first episode. Don’t let us get too comfy xD!
