In one of the saddest scenes of this TV show, Nell Crain is finally given the necklace by her mother, but it ends up being her undoing.

The true identity of the Bent Neck Lady is revealed
“The Haunting of Hill House” presents Victoria Pedretti‘s first major role, and she delivered an incredible break out performance as Nell, the youngest of the Crain children. In this highly emotional scene, Nell Crain comes back to her childhood home that is still haunted by ghosts of her past. She is visited by the ghosts of her recently deceased husband, and her mother, but they turn out to be just tricks that Hill House plays on her mind. The necklace that her mother gives her turns out to be a noose and Nell tragically passes away. She comes to the realization that she was the Bent Neck Lady, the ghost that has haunted her for her entire life all along. Many fans would agree that this scene is the most tragic one of the whole TV show because Nell was kindhearted and didn’t deserve the tragic events that occured during her lifetime.
Liv Crain’s Red Robe – Elegant and Timeless
During the span of “The Haunting of Hill House”, Liv Crain wears many luxurious robes in various colors. Compared to the typical homewear, Liv Crain is always a vision of poise and elegance and looks put together in her jewel-toned vintage robes. The show’s costume designer has spoken about how the robe colors show Liv’s current mental state. In the scene above, you can see her in a red velvet robe that signifies that the Hill House has completely taken her over. I’m sure that these robes grace vision boards and wishlists of many-a-women around the world, and especially the hardcore fans. You can get any color you wish, but I strongly suggest this Red Robe.
Theo Crain’s Gloves – Stylish and Practical
In “The Haunting of Hill House”, Theo, one of the Crain siblings always wears gloves. This is revealed to be a way to stop her empath powers that work through physical touch. I would hope nobody in your vicinity has the same problems, but nevertheless, some leather gloves can be an excellent present for a “Haunting of Hill House” fan in your life. They will serve a dual purpose – as a nod to the strong and badass character of Theo Crain, and as a protection from the cold weather. To surprise and delight a “Haunting of Hill House” fan in your life, gift them these Deerskin Driving Gloves inspired by Theo Crain.

The Crain siblings reunite in the infamous Red Room
In the series finale, all Crain siblings find themselves in the Red Room and Nell delivers a very emotional and profound speech that brings each of her siblings some much needed closure. Nell’s speech also gives us the most beatiful quote of the entire show: “I loved you completely. And you loved me the same. That’s all. The rest is confetti.” This serves as a lesson to the siblings, but to us viewers as well, that the most important thing in life is to love and be loved, and the rest is insignificant in the grand scheme. Episode 10 of “The Haunting of Hill House” is the ultimate culmination of incredible storylines, character development, an intricate soundtrack and magnificent acting performances by the whole cast.

Mrs. Dudley, the caretaker of Hill House, at one point tells Nell: “Use your cup of stars. Insist on your cup of stars. Once they’ve strapped you into being like everyone else, you’ll never see your cup of stars again.” This teaches young Nell to pursue the things important to her, and not settle for being like everybody else. A message like this is important for all people to remember in order not to forget who we truly are and want to be. That’s why this iPhone Case (there are options for other phones too) would be a meaningful, yet practical gift for any important person in your life.
“Nell is in the Red Room” Hoodie
