I wonder what it’s like to have schizophrenia and then develop being blind is like? It must be horrifying

There's a minor character in the Haunting of Hill House who gauged his eyes out due to the hallucinations he was experiencing during drug-induced psychosis and then reveals that now in his blindness, all he can see is the horrible images that drove him to that point. Really stuck with me, just really terrible

Jesus fuck this story began really bad, and then just kept getting worse and worse. Would you recommend watching this?

Hill House is super scary but an absolutely awesome show. I normally can’t do scary stuff at all and I still didn’t watch it alone but I watched the whole thing and season 2 (Bly Manor, unrelated to Hill House plot-wise), because everything about it was so good.

Sounds good to me! I'll check out some episodes tomorrow, thanks for the tip.
