The Haunting Of Hill House: 9 Questions We Desperately Need Answers To
5. Did Hugh Have His Own Red Room?
Everyone wanted to know what was in the Red Room and why it was kept locked, but in the final episode Nell reveals that they all went in there many times without knowing. The room is whatever they wanted it to be – Luke’s treehouse, Theo’s dance studio, Steven’s game room, Shirley’s family room and Olivia’s reading room.
But what about Hugh? Did he have a Red Room? Some people think his Red Room could’ve been the basement where the black mould kept growing, but why wasn’t it mentioned? Is he not connected to the house in the same way Olivia and their children are?
The room even got Steven, who didn’t think he was susceptible to the supernatural, so what does this say about Hugh and the House?
