Episode 9: Sam’s Notes

Crazy Eights

  • Studies are done on kids and then they vanished
  • Twenty years ago…
  • Lady sells Jennifer to these people doing experiments
  • Present day…
  • We see Jennifer teaching a class… maybe psychology?
  • Psycopath is a man without guilt
  • Pictures of the kids from the experiments on the screen
  • Guy gets a note in the mail… pastor? Then startled by something…
  • Walking through what looks like something out of Silent Hill
  • This must be Father Lyle Dey
  • And we’re back…
  • Just introducing us to all the characters, I guess
  • Now we see a woman sculpting, Beth I assume
  • She’s really angry at the clay and rips the face apart
  • Now we’re at a funeral
  • Walking through a house that has weird stuff in it, jars, pentagrams, dead plants, strange, disturbed paintings, a typewriter
  • They’re looking for a box that they must open together
  • Person was tormented, wants to let them in on something
  • What’s the crap in the box?
  • A picture of the group and they’re called Crazy Eights
  • There’s a map!
  • There was a time capsule
  • This person wrote books, and he was working on a new one
  • Jennifer is wandering around the house, looking at the weird art… and gets startled by dude on the other side
  • Child’s footprints in the dirt in front of the art thing
  • They’re at a restaurant arguing about whether to dig up the time capsule
  • “We can beat this fear, but not alone”
  • Alright, fine, they’ll go
  • But why are they all eating on the same side of the table?
  • Entonsburg, but the population of the town is scratched out
  • Stop to get gas, this never goes well
  • No cell signal in the boonies
  • I guess they’re where they are supposed to go, or they just have to get out and walk because there’s a pole down in the road
  • Heading to the barn that isn’t at all creepy
  • There’s a chest placed prominently in the middle of the barn… and it’s locked
  • I’m sure we can fix that
  • Fixed
  • The stuff in the box was theirs
  • Person’s name was Brax Young?
  • Hearing voices
  • We’ll just lug it outside so we don’t have to stay in the creepy barn
  • Guy is having nightmares about the group…falling trunk jump-scare
  • Child’s corpse in the bottom of the trunk
  • We should close the box up and run away
  • Brent is a prick
  • Driving in circles… keep passing the same white house and then some girl runs by
  • Of course the house is important
  • No power, duh
  • No one recognizes the house because…?
  • We should probably go into the creepy cellar
  • Singing finger jump-scare
  • Wayne falls and breaks his leg and somehow it looks like ground beef
  • Gina doesn’t have any idea how to work an electrical panel
  • And it worked.
  • Now that there’s light, it’s fine to leave Wayne alone
  • Brent is all fucking fuck fuck, but finds a condemned notice out front of the house
  • You THINK Wayne broke his leg?
  • I’m sure it’s just a bruise…
  • Trespassers will be shot without notice
  • There’s a child’s skull on a shelf
  • And now the cellar door has been locked. Weird.
  • Looks like a bunch of rooms under the house that couldn’t possibly exist in a real house like this… cells, maybe
  • “There’s no way this is part of an old house” I just said that!
  • Thank goodness you brought the slingshot that you then dropped
  • Lyle and Gina walk downstairs
  • Of course all the windows have bars
  • No one finds any of this familiar? Nothing?
  • Beth flips through a book and then he starts reading from it… Brax’s book
  • Talks about the girl in the box
  • Lyle is praying
  • Beth hears something, follows it away from the group
  • Why are you in the corner?
  • Nobody puts Baby in the corner!
  • Bunk beds with numbers
  • And names… their names
  • Wayne hears something too
  • Wayne, what are you doing?
  • Window falls on Wayne’s head… at least they don’t have to carry him around anymore
  • He’s dead.
  • Beth starts freaking out, Brent is going to get out and leave Wayne
  • Jen is wandering the facility
  • They’ve found a kitchen
  • Put Wayne’s body in the cellar (that they’re in?)
  • Lyle tells a story about someone hiding in the darkness in the church
  • Everyone starts talking about how they’ve been seeing things
  • Jen knows exactly where everything in this kitchen is
  • Can you find the can opener Jen?
  • There ya go, good girl…
  • Alright, Gina is pissed…
  • Beth has been silently freaking out, so they’re going to go walk her now
  • Gina knows where the blankets are
  • Heartbeat sound
  • They see the girl and give chase
  • Pictures of kids on the wall
  • I wonder if the girl they’re seeing is the girl in the box
  • Darkened bathroom with mirrors… I think we know how this is going to go
  • Screaming in the mirror jump-scare
  • And now Beth is sucking her thumb
  • Ghost girl talks to Beth
  • Is Beth going to pull out her own tongue?
  • Nope, just her whole jaw
  • I’m sure Brent is next, because he’s an asshole
  • Who puts a bucket in the middle of the floor?
  • I think Brent is walking in circles
  • Lyle is reading the book while Gina sleeps
  • I guess it’s morning now
  • Brent is still lost
  • Brent thinks he’s going to get out… so that’s funny
  • What was that laser gun sound?
  • Jen thinks something is somewhere… she’s looking for a butterfly? There it is, painted on the wall
  • “We lived here in this room” Yes, but your names were on bunks in some other part of the facility…
  • Jen and Lyle run off
  • Find the picture of the doctor
  • I bet that mirror in the room was one way
  • Hey, at least Brent is still going
  • Brent finds a sort of playroom
  • And the door shuts on him
  • They break through the mirror
  • Lots of bladed instruments
  • Notes, yay!
  • Jen is the psychologist, she knows all about this stuff
  • Yup, they were experimenting on you
  • Come on, no one remembers Karen?
  • I love the fence around the “socialization tools”
  • Brent finds a baseball base… the dirt that he’s been seeing
  • And I guess that’s where Brent dies
  • Gina is freaking out
  • Gina runs out to puke
  • Thank god she finds a toilet in this shithole so she doesn’t get puke on the filthy floor
  • Gina attacked in the bathroom, I guess she tears out her eyes or something
  • Is that Brent’s hand on the floor… because big watch
  • So clearly, they’re responsible for putting Karen in the trunk
  • Brax was the first to remember
  • Something about guilt
  • We’re just going to leave Gina alone now
  • Brent had the slingshot, we must destroy it too!
  • Foreshadowing sharp pipes
  • Alright, not clear how Lyle stabbed his neck on the pipe, but it happened
  • You can’t just burn the stuff to make the guilt go away
  • Here Gina, take the pointy stick that you will probably use to kill yourself
  • “Just don’t use the bathroom…”
  • Is there a storm outside now?
  • Gina is inching around in the dark… and stabs Lyle
  • Now we have the brushes
  • Gina backs right into Karen and gets dead
  • Jennifer finds everyone else dead, but at least she has brushes and slingshot
  • Really inefficient way to start a fire
  • Why do you have to light paper again?
  • Jen is throwing shit around
  • Sure seems like Jen is crazy
  • It’s a good thing none of these people have families
  • I guess Jen killed herself
  • One box leads to redemption, one box leads to more tests
  • I’m sure that ending means something, but I’m not sure what
