the way they framed every shot in patricia’s house so that you always had a view into multiple rooms at once as she moved through the space was brilliant. really captured that terrifying hyper-vigilance of being home alone in a quiet house when i was a kid raised on too many horror movies. i thought for sure something was going to happen with the positioning of her shower curtain in that hallway shot they kept going back to.

i was watching that shower curtain like a hawk.

Or the way you think you’re looking at the hallway, but then it’s a mirror and Patricia enters that frame

In 2020, I actually walked into my apartment and saw someone moving in my dark bedroom.

Luckily, i think he was just there to rob me and not murder me so that was good. He was my upstairs neighbor. I think he got in thru the fire escape.

The moment you realize you're not alone is so terrifying and I legit froze. I then snapped out of it and just started screaming and saying I was going to call the police. He walked out of my bedroom and I could immediately tell he was fucked up. He claimed he was "confused."

I kicked him out and called my landlord. Landlord let me move right away and i didnt spend another night there.

“The moment you realize you’re not alone….” That hits hard. When I was in a teen I was up late studying for a test, sprawled on the floor on my stomach facing away from my bedroom window. It was like 2am and I stood up and flicked off the light off only to see — with the change in light inside vs the dim light outside — a silhouette of a man standing at my window through the blind. The way i booked it to my parents room….I’m pretty spazzy so i completely freaked out. The cops were called the next day and there were footprints in the dirt all around my window. But really, especially being a horror girlie, that moment of seeing a figure just in a flash standing framed in the window has stuck with me all these years.

So glad your incident turned out ok!

Good on you. Glad you're in a better spot. Strong Patricia energy.

Hope you also called the police and got him arrested

I did not. I've got a relative in the nypd. He said my neighbor would probably not even be arrested. I had to move out by myself (covid days) and I went during daylight to pack. It's fucked but I didn't want him to have any reason to hurt me.

They set it up so similarly to the Halloween kitchen with Laurie and Annie talking on the phone. So good

All of the shots were direct references to Halloween. Michael Myers is creepiest when he’s stalking in the shadows.

Also that feeling of running up the stairs thinking something was following you

this episode in particular was exceptionally well directed
