20:13 when she’s having that dream she tells him “I love you.. I was trying to save you” my interpretation is that DEEP down, Annie knew that her kids had a terrible fate in store for them. So her attempt at miscarriage, and her paint thinner incident was her subconscious trying to prevent the inevitable doom her kids were going to suffer.

Never seen a reaction be done outside before that's cool

When his mom said "That fucking face on your face" and then he saw his reflection in the classroom and you realize that's the face his mom sees on him and why she said that is crazy! Toni Collette is amazing! She should have won an Oscar

I love Toni Collette, she's always amazing. But I'm glad you guys mentioned how good Alex Wolff is. He's just fantastic.

Not only you watched the movie in dark. You watched it in dark OUTSIDE. Like damn!

pretty much every actor in this movie deserves an oscar him, gabriel byrne, and especially toni colette

The scene when the mom found the daughters body literally destroyed me. I was brought to tears myself.

Jesus, Toni must have screamed her throat raw in the bit where Annie finds Charlie’s corpse. I hope she had some water after that. That being said, easily one of the most chilling things Ive ever heard in a movie.

So did we catch in the support group scene, the mother said her brother committed suicide and wrote a letter blaming their mother and said she was trying to put people inside him. During the scene with what you knew, that's just crazy talk. But knowing what you know at the end you realize he was the intended target for Paemon. He died. If I remember correctly there is mention of grandma taking care of and maybe even breast feeding Charlie. Also mention that maybe mother separated from grandma for a while, putting the son out of reach. I'm not exactly sure bout this. So grandma and cult had no choice but to put Paemon temporarily in Charlie. And come to when the movie starts the son is now there and they enact their plan to correct and put Paemon in the son.

First time I saw this, I said to myself "Fuck you, Ari Aster! Never again!". And, wouldn't you know, next thing was me, glued in my couch, watching Midsommar!

You can tell the girl on the left kept getting annoyed at the lady on the right and did her best to not show it, kudos to her, that wasn't easy

Christmas came early! Hereditary is an absolute masterpiece! How Toni Collette didn't get nominated for an Oscar for her performance still baffles me. Well, not really, horror has always been looked down upon by the mainstream. But you can clearly see, horror comes in many forms, and what Ari Aster does with Hereditary is give us real situations, grief, generational trauma, and mixes fictional horror with the realistic horror. It's truly a work of art. Definitely the kind of movie that sticks with you and creates interesting discussion long after viewing. Thank you for watching it.

isnt it nice having someone who has already seen it spoiler/explain half the movie while u watch it ~

The demon took over Charlie's body at an early age, thats why she is so strange. When she was decapitated the demon was freed

Some crazy fun facts: there are 8 different outdoor scenes where at least one or more naked cult memebrs can be seen outside the house in the forest . The grief group are all cult followers look at them closely and you’ll see most of them either in the house naked in diiferent scenes, outside, in the attic of treehouse. Peters friend he’s smoking pot with under the bleacher with the man bun ponytail is in the group (not sure if his other friend is also a cult member but experiences Charlie’s pain and death as he smokes likely aided by the cult member friend. Notice the pamphlet the day of grandmas funeral for the “grief group” is pushed in the mail slot in the door . The mail was already there so it was hand delivered out in BFE to their remote house for Annie to get to get her to the cults gathering to orchestrate the comming events with the new cult leader befriending her. But actually as you see when Annie’s pounding in her door she’s been workin some evil spells with Charlie’s animal head figurines , pictures of Peter with his eyes cut out meaning his soul is gone. Paimon can be seen spelled out earlier in Annie’s apartment. Annie says the chalkboard was her grandsons favorite item she used to conjur him. But when Annie sees Joan in the store parking lot Joan was placing store bags in the back of her car, when Annie gets close to her you can see that chalkboard is in the nee store bag, she jsut purchased it , likely never was a grandson becasue she mentions once she lost her grandsonS to a fire but then later says her grandson (singular) drown. The pagan comment or also said the words Joan spoke and told Annie she had to say perfectly is actual ancient pagan words that are suppose to invite a specific demon god into that moment . At Annie’s Paimon seems to pull Annie’s hair to the side of brush it to the side , remember pagans believe Paimon always Carie’s the heads of the 3 female sacrifices by the Hair and Annie was already promised to Paimon. The flare up of fire and candles is said to be fire is easy for pagan gods and also satanic demons to manipulate to scare the intended targets more . Annie speaks the words inviting Paimon into the home and into her body specifically , you hear Paimons scarry kind of grown evil sound first , then trixter god uses Charlie like voice to get the family to think it’s jsut charlie but I read another explanation that said both Paimon and Charlie’s soul now bound to Paimon and stuck at its side we’re in Annie’s body together which is why charlie sounds terrified , panicked and yelling for her mom, also said her voice is noticeable normal , it’s not the odd toned and spaced words of possessed charlie saying it was her pure soul Paimon brought into Annie’s body to convince dad and Peter but scared the crap out of them . The bursting of candle flames in a ritual is believed to be the arrival of a demon or king of hell. Exploding glasses , jsut paimons tricks , why would Charlie’s soul blast flames and break vases.? When the hands grab Peters head and he thinks it’s his mom, notice the arms grabbing his head, Peter is flat on his back centered on the bed as it clearly shows. The head of his bed is agaisnt the wall directly below the window thst looks at the treehouse which is candle lit inside that night . The 2 arms come straight inside the window , Annie couldn’t have possibly been in the room and somehow outside hiding his head. Not sure if it was to scare him or some spell but also not sure why Annie seems to be right there when he breaks free but she’s by the wall away from the bed. When his head is grabbed the dogs barking and the door slams on it but no one is seen slamming it so maybe paranormal but then when did Annie come in? Casue I do these the door open? There’s a cool video that explains some Midsommar and hereditary stuff that overlapped when Annie was possessed by Paimon upside down banging he’d head on the door like when it was banging peters head in the desk, the rythm, and speed she’s banging her face ex’s lt matches the chopping speed of the girl chopping -100 lbs of nits for 1 cake. He said this was done to show like everything else that night charlie dies , the girl chopping nuts exactly identicle that same speed and rythm shows she was being manipulated or possessed to do it as no one would chop that massive amount of nuts for even 19 cakes. Also the frind thst invites him to the party is the cult friend and tells him his crush will be there and to bring his dick essentially guaranteeing Peter would play into the orchestrated events. Some wonder what the husband did for a living and notice his calmness , when he’s responding to an email from the cemetery about the other grave desecration , his email signature is at the bottom and shows he’s a psychiatrist which explains the calm and refusing to “play along with Annie’s” fantasy” that was actually real. There are a total of at least 5 scenes where a naked figure can jsut barely be seen in background dark rooms . I only saw the grandma and the smiling man by the fireplace , the one that so creepily smiles nonstop at “charlie” which as a cult member he knows it’s Paimon which is why you keep seeing creepy people in white robes staring and waving at charlie. It’s not to ass charlie but to see the demon god they worship. Possessed charlie asks Annie after the funeral who’s going to take care of her when Annie dies , Paimon knowing Annie will die soon.. there’s at least 5 triangles drawn on the floors at Annie’s house , her moms old room, Charlie’s room, 3 others and there’s at least 8 scenes where you can see the words Joan was screaming at Peter calling on their king of hells powers , wrote small in red on random walls they the movie. The pagan commentor said that Annie’s mom would be considered a witch that led the cult thst worships the kings of hell explaining the wooden stick figures being a Nordic pagan witch thing meant to bring evil to wherever they are placed. Beheadings if animals and people would all be sacrifices xx so all Charlie’s witch stick figures with animal heads all over her room and then in Joan’s house and the final scene tree house seem to confirm that (makes me think of Blaine witch and The Witch where those same stick frame skeletons hang in the witches forest form trees . Notice how Peter walks to the treehouse when he’s possessed at the end how slow and in a trance like state , after charlie is beheaded and he believes he jsut killed his little sister he goes from shock panic horror and seems to shift suddenly jsut putting. The car in gear and slowly starting the drive home and then his walk from the car into the house and to his bed is identicle to paimons walk at the end . Satanists, pagans and some witch groups believe for a demon to possess a human body i, thst soul of thst body has to be assaulted constantly with fear, sadness, anger , regret , remove any spiritual faith and all positive aspects of life but notice obviously Paimon manipulated charlie to have her head taken off, that most horrific experience anyone could imagine would be more than enough to break Peter to be possessed to jsut drive home , not call t police or mom and dad , not emotion, , jsut a blank stare that he doesn’t blink in at night or morning and jsut listens to Annie scream , let her find Charlie’s headless body in the back seat days after her mom dies . A planned devastation for Annie to break her down , guilt and sadness for Peter to break him down, Paimon murders the husband so he can’t interfere with the final nights. Saw another comment thst said demons want nothing but to spread fear, sadness, anger , to destroy the lives of souls that got bodies on earth and she said that’s why Annie possessed by Paimon spider manning and floating sits in the ceiling corner and wakes Peter up and floats silently to another curling ibservation point jus to see peters absolute pain and devastation from the opposite side of the room enjoying peters devastation and then moving opposite of Peter jumping out at him as Annie but growing a demonic growl to scare him towards the hall and attic access but also breaking him down in total fear now seeing Charlie’s dead, grandmas dead. Dads burnt to a crisp and mom is a demon thst floats and chips her own head off with her necklace while Peter watches , he was broken and then notices all the naked people in the attic with him and he finally was broken down enough to possess him to run out the window killing himself just removing his soul for Paimon. The book says Paimon can possess bodies under certain conditions for periods of time , male or female but to possess a body permanently it has robbed a male and the soul can’t still be there , basically thst male needs to be broken down and then die and thst body has to be dedicated or offered to him and the male needs to die becasue a demon or king of hell can’t force a soul out of its body it has to beat thst soul down to death spiritually and physically then the soul leaves the body and if dedicated or offered to it, it can possess that healthy male host for it to begin the end of all. Some of he Easter egg videos on these movies I still can’t find all of them but most.

I feel good saying this movie was the scariest movie I’ve seen since the Exorcist and Rosemary’s baby . Both movies have a good story and Oscar worthy acting. This movie deserves an Oscar !!!

One of the best movies I've ever seen. It is the literal ESSENCE of a nightmare. Every time I watch this movie, especially the paint thinner nightmare she has, I just feel complete doom.

the dad was a good therapist. he knows how to handle tragedy

This movie is so emotionally draining, and yet, this is one of the funniest reaction videos, for any movie, I've ever seen LMFAO ya'll are the best!

"I couldn't watch it again." Same here.

All I can say about this movie is that it’s a realistic depiction of grief and it shows how evil can take advantage of broken minds.

I always feel bad for the dad marrying into that crazy ass family 😂 a good Christmas horror is Better Watch Out

Unfortunately, most don't like how Peter acted because they don't understand his performance which was actually amazing as you said. I will put a spoiler warning for anyone who reads the comments before seeing your reaction/ before seeing the actual movie itself as well. (I'm that person that hates spoilers both getting and giving them XD) Spoiler Warning: This movie literally made him (Alex Wolff) have to get therapy it scarred him so much and he wanted to make it as realistic as possible by doing things for real; like actually slamming his face on the desk for the classroom scene. For scenes like the part when she was banging her head and he was crying for his mommy, he based it off of military members who cry for their family members when they are afraid for their lives. Most people unfortunately think his performance is "too over the top" it is rather annoying for instance there were people in my theater that actually laughed at certain scenes like the classroom freak out. It's a shame, but I appreciate it when people do understand his choices as you all did, so thank you for that

The acting is phenomenal. Great movie and the amazing cast just makes it better. Toni Collette deserved every best actress award there is for this performance.

Too bad this wasn't a live chat.....I would have been like "Michael Myers is behind you"....😆😆.....great reaction! Crazy movie! 👍

WHY WHY WHY would you make your son take his little sister to a high school party? OK. Let' s get this kid started early on being a stoner. What a mom!

Apparently some of the people at the party and the other driver on the road the night of the accident orchestrated this, both intentionally making something to set off Charlie’s allergy, and getting Peter to veer off the road into the telephone pole. It was all to take out Charlie, and break Peter’s spirit, slowly drive him insane, and to the point of ending his life, just for Paimon to take over…just the same as Annie’s late brother, having taken his own life too.

If anybody deserves an Oscar it’s Toni Collette for her performance as the mother!

Toni Collette is so great in The Sixth Sense, same with the kid actor Hayley Joel Osment

I strongly recommend reading the screenplay as well. I watched this movie once and wasn't sure how I felt about it, then I read the screenplay and watched the film again and then it jumped way up on my list of favorite horror movies.

It's the "I couldn't watch it again" for me XD

I love this movie, it definitely has lots of influence from classic horror films such as Rosemary's Baby.

Approaching the car with 'If you need someone to talk to..' was _The Handmaid's Tale's_ Aunt Lydia, so no problem there...

Some very hard to deal with scenes but a brilliant film. Toni should have won awards for this, she was amazing in the role.

There are many hidden things in this movie. This is one of the most brilliant horror films ever made. EVER.

As usual you 3 lovely ladies gave an amazing reaction. The outside camp fire reaction was a very very nice touch 👌 this movie I feel broke the boring mold of what todays horror films have become and delivered an outstanding masterpiece. The mother and son both deserve an Oscar 😁

This reaction was hilarious in parts!!! Loved it! Love this movie!

Wtf only the one on the far right would think it's funny to talk through most of the movie, we get it, you can have quirky responses dam 😭

I forgot to mention (if you haven't seen it) the perfect breakup movie also from Ari Aster.. MIDSOMMAR. You'd absolutely love it 😁❤️

You are the bravest souls putting yourself through this ordeal. Bravo!

Idk if anyone pointed this out to you ladies yet! But in the scene where Peter slams his face on the desk, he actually broke his nose in that scene. He thought the padding was more secure LOL but he said it made the scene even better because of it!

lmao yo the lady on the right is DRAMATIC lmaoooo

Oh man! I love the fact that you guys watched this outside, the ambiance was awesome (crickets, fire crackling) Love it! This movie was so creepy, and I agree, the son definitely deserved an Oscar next to mom’s performance. The part where the fire went bright (your fire) I could relate, cardboard boxes make very bright, and hot fires for a few moments 😂awesome entertainment throughout thank you❤️

I will never understand how Collette got an Oscar nomination for the The Sixth Sense but not one for Hereditary. Not only was that an egregious error but how could the academy ignore the screenplay? They simply must join the rest of us in the 21st century and start recognizing that some genre films are pretty damned good.

So that group lady definitely killed her family as well. I love the cult theme of the entire trilogy!

This is right up there with the Exorcist it builds and builds

lmao The blonde is done by the end of the movie.

The more I watch it the more I love it. So much to discover.

You ladies have the best hangout for watching movies. Looks so cozy by the fire.

Ok, now you have seen it all girls, this is the most disturbing horror movie ever in my opinion including also Jacob's ladder. You can at this point watch everything. Although I would say the most disturbing horror movies goes to Serbian film and Human centipede 2.

When she weeped for her child it gets me almost everytime I could NOT imagine. 😮‍💨🥺

One of the best modern day horror movies so glad that you guys are finally reacting to it.

it's the first thing i'd tell somebody. i learned to be upfront and honest with everybody as soon as possible. i only hide the weird shit until i know they're cool but if they reciprocate or at least act like they understand, they seem to like me more. i serve in a restaurant, so when people ask why my hands are shaky, i tell them i'm an alcoholic in withdrawl and can't drink until after my shift. most people offer to buy me a shot, sometimes i take the offer they ask me how i got a black eye, my brother beat me up, i lost the fight boss asks me to come into work, i say i can but i'm very drunk, and when he's desperate, he'll say "okay but no more drinking" and gives me an extra $10

You guys really dove i deep this time. :) I strongly recommend Midsommar. Beautiful film that I personally liked more than Hereditary

I have no clue how you can watch movies with the chatty drama momma on the right ,😂😂😂✌️

This was so much fun to watch...I just love watching u guys react to horror..could you please also do japanese horror classics like The Grudge or The Ring? Those are really fun too :)

Another amazing reaction ✌️ You girls handled this better than my sister when I first showed it to her. She wasn't scared like The Conjuring but more like "What the hell did I watch, I feel like my soul has been drained" 😅 Also FUN FACT: the tongue clicking Charlie does is actually a way to call and control a dromedary camel" and Paimon is depicted riding one. He's also a little incorrectly portrayed in this film.. He doesn't really hate humans or cut off heads, I've read The Lesser key of Solomon in which Paimon is mentioned and out of all the demons he's kinda the friendliest. Unless you're selfishy trying to conjure him like the cult followers in this film ("Bring us wealth, fortune, bind all men to our will") Yea that's kinda needy and selfish 😂. Also at the beginning after the funeral when they're back at their house... You can hear footsteps before they even enter or Charlie goes upstairs meaning the followers were there the entire time (some of them most likely) FUN FACT 2: When Peter's hand raises in a crunchy possessed manner in the classroom, it is the exact same pose as the figure statue of King Paimon in the treehouse.The soundtrack though was like a sunrise in hell... Colin Stetson was absolutely amazing... That ending scene in the treehouse... The music is just perfectly descriptive to the hellish fate they were all expecting. To sum it up... You three are so mentally brave to watch this ❤️ especially Elizabeth once more. Another brilliant reaction. I've actually seen the film 7 times (I guess this is my new Titanic... Please don't judge me. 🤞😂

After my first watch of this movie I was so disturbed and speechless

watching this outside in the dark is actually so metal omg

Peter in the school yard: Doesn't anyone else see that crazy lady across the street yelling weird shit to me? Shouldn't a teacher or someone call the cops? This is not normal.

11:02 " I'm sorry I was literally on fire...."😂😂😂 shhhhhhh your giving away the ending. 😂😅❤

one of the greatest films of all time. yall's reaction proves it lol

It's funny how many people say it's a brilliant film but I'm never watching it again. He made the film a little too well.

I've been watching horror films for 32 years and I've seen some things. But to me that body on the cross at the end is one of the most WTF moments I've ever seen (as is the whole movie really) First time I heard how bad this was I challenged myself and watched it alone at midnite with the lights all out. What an experience

Toni Collette was robbed of an Oscar nomination that year!

This movie wasnt as scary as it was just so emotionally fucked. This movie doesnt make you jump or scream (well not as much as others), it just makes you sit there speechless and sad

Great reaction 😁, lol this movie is so well acted it draws you in. Definitely one of the better horror movies imo in the last 10 years.

This is my favourite Ari Aster movie and Toni Colette should have won an Oscar for her performance, watch his other movie Midsommar it will freak you out as well 😱😱😱

This is the best horror film of this decade

Da lady that saw it before made it terrible for the other two

Joan popping up at the times we saw her was literally a red herring. Her sweater gave it away.

Peter yeah but if you know Tony Collette was snubbed if you really think about it she deserve a Oscar she was robbed look up who she lost too and tell me I'm wrong

I laughed......so hard. When she throws the book in the fire

Apparently, some viewers noticed that alot Peter's schoolmates are seen as the many nude Paimon disciples at the end.

If I remember correctly, Alex Wolff actually broke his nose in the desk scene.

Hey Tasha, I know you guys said that this movie was the last movie to watch this month but HALLOWEEN kills the sequel to halloween 2018 is still streaming on peacock so maybe you and Emma and Elizabeth can watch halloween kills for spooky season, please for your faaaaaans.

When Ari Aster (made the movie) was young he hit someone with his car. he did basically the same thing, just drove home in shock. later he found out it was a dear. obviously it left an impression.

Love this movie, well done Ladies for enjoying it.

Didn't notice you were outside at first lol. Cool lol.

I always feel like the mom is misunderstood. Her life has been a shitshow, between her brother killing himself and Charlie's death alone. I would be livid with Peter, too.

Can the chick on the right, just... not? She's a damn downer and doesn't shut up, being extra for no reason. Otherwise, I really loved your reaction and the outdoors backdrop! lol

Once the fire got reduced, I started waiting for a _Blair Witch Project_ plot line to play out. Or not.

Okay started watching this reaction late, late last night. I got tired, so I closed my IPad so I could go to bed. Ahhhh! It made that click sound, like in the movie, when I closed the cover. Needless to say, took awhile to go to sleep. This movie…one of the most frightening I’ve seen since the exorcist (saw when I was 16 in 1980…with my Mom…why Mom, why?)…saw this one home alone with lights out….why me, why…

LOVE THIS FILM

This is a masterpiece.... that it makes you feel sad and creeped out and horrified does not make it bad. It was the intent of the director and the story to make you feel that way, therefore it's a success. Also, the mom is actually the sane one... she knows what her mother has intended for her children and tries to save them as she already lost her brother and father to her evil intentions. It's the situation her family is in that's insane because they're being possessed by the demon at different times (the bright roaming light) and being manipulated by the evil cult followers. If you rewatch the movie, you'll be able to spot them in various scenes. The dad is well-meaning but clueless. I suggest you watch a video that explains things you may have missed, then you'll realize the brilliance of the story and direction.

One the third girl should not be giving up scenes before they happen. Just watch it in silence.

God them wine glass have gone brim full right quick about halfway through, didn't they?😂😂😂

Love the campfire setting

- What's the symbology there? - "Symbology"?... I think the word you're looking for is, "symbolism". What is the ssssymbolism there? 😆

That fist bump scared me.... WTF man!!!

Hey ladies. Great reaction. So to answer your question. It wasn't the mom who put some type of ritualistic ointment on the grandmother in the funeral home. In fact it was one of the cult members. The room was full of them.

The demon this movie mentions is in some really old grimoire. 'The Exorcist' went a similar way, using an ancient evil entity mentioned in historic sources. Ballsy move. I wouldn't tempt fate.

I thought I knew the jist of this movie but clearly I had no clue lol Wow just wow haha dear in road scene was a lot

Think...no part of this movie would have happened, if Annie right from the beginning, went through her mom's boxes! Pro tips...go back to the scene, the mom's work table, watch the blue bottle! The director did Midsonmar as well. It's good but I just kinda didn't buy the premise, so I wasn't as impressed. This movie here, I would put up with The Thing, Exorcist, the shining, a few others. How Toni Collette didn't win an Oscar for this, is beyond me! A bit of horror truth, when he smashed his face in the desk, he was supposed to hit padding but didn't. His face looking all dislocated, was real! Also Peter's first class, is the same subject from the original Holloween, and the trailer for this came out the same day, the Halloween reboot did!😮😮😮Another callback is during their seance, the clock stops, callback to exorcist! What was hereditary in this family wasn't mental illness, it was Grandma and proly those before her, driving family members insane, with their satanic/cult worship! Charlie was already possessed, represented by the clicks. Heard while she was alive, and after she died, BEFORE the seance. I would say, joan tried sacrificing her son and grandson. Either they killed themselves, or she killed them. Seems if Paimon is not happy with a body it is in, it has to die and be beheaded, so paimon can leave the body, i say it happened to dear old grandma, and definitely happened to Annie and Charlie! I just noticed a weird parallel...the biggest foreshadowing...when the dad gets charlie from the treehouse to go to the funeral, she standing up in the corner, and the camera view is from below slightly like shes twisting and floating!!!! Then In the almost final scenes, the mom is up in the corner of charlies room then floats away, then is up in the corner, above peter, as he's looking at his burned dad!😮 And finally, charlie is back where we first met her, hanging in the treehouse! Biblically speaking, u NEVER want to conjure someone who is dead...this NEVER goes well! King Saul conjured the spirit of the profit, and all went downhill real fast! Anyone notice in mom's room, triangle on the floor. The mirror? Like absolutely zero reflection?😮😮😮😮. For me, I just couldn't by into Midsonmar, so I thought it was stupid. But u may like it. His next was with Joaquin Phoenix, in I think called, Beau is afraid. The Oscars ought to before themselves on this one! She has been a top ten actor, male or female, for 30 years! The mom in 6th sense, this, knives out, a offbeat comedy with Cameron Diaz, there's nothing she can't do! also think, every word out of grandma and Joanie's mouth was a lie. And u can bet they both killed off the male members of their families, to gain power or get Paimon into one of the male bodies. Or both. Joanie knew, if Annie did a seance, by herself or with family, she would let Paimon/Charlie loose in her house, because Annie had zero idea how to end a seance, or send demons back to where they came from. So Annie's dad was either starved by Grandma or he did it to himself purposely, to be weak and no good for a demon. Annie's brother said in his suicide note, Grandma was putting people inside him. And Joanie? Probably herself, drowned her son and grandson! Also after Charlie's death, the mom goes to sleep in the treehouse, watch the wall when the camera zoom pulls backwards!😮😱

You need see Midsommar 😩❤️

Guys ima be honest just watched it with the fam and cried in front of everyone mental breakdown and was scared shitless of that ending no joke that movie fucked me up im here sitting on my phone still watchin these corners💀😭

You Ladies are so brave ☺

9:40 her preparing herself moments before disaster 😂😂😂

Its a brilliantly horrific movie up until the point where it gets a little to supernatural for my liking floating bodies and all that but the first half is unforgettable

Well, the thing is, it wasn't mom who annointed grandma's lips, it was someone else, a member of her coven. All the strangers at the funeral are members of the coven.
