CABINET OF CURIOSITIES Episode 6 Dreams In The Witch House Ending Explained 

What did you think of Cabinet Of Curiosities Episode 6? Comment your thoughts below!

So basically Ron got caught up in the dark arts/necromancy and got killed by Scabbers

The ending is basically ratatouille but more gruesome

Rupert's acting is the highlight of this episode. This episode is more like Tim Burton movie, somehow scare you but also fun to watch.

Funny thing about the ending is Epperly was able to move on while Walt wasn't ready to.. so even in the afterlife they won't be reunited

Rupert Grint seriously deserves to be just as big as Daniel Radcliff. That was A+ acting.

The rat guy was the creepiest thing of this episode ahaha

He didn’t waste his life. He saved his sister’s soul.

Yeah, I agree. I thought it was okay, but I felt the plot wandered towards the end and I ended up being a tad confused in regards to the Rat Character and how he held such power? The up side was the character design for the witch was stunning and very Del Torro

I actually liked this episode. I think that the visuals and concepts were very interesting mingled with a lot of common sense mishaps that had me going “why would you do this?” And “why would anyone stay the night in a room visibly haunted with huge rat(s) and leaking roof?” But I think that it showed that not being able to make peace with the past and move on, can actually rob you of your own life and cloud your judgement so much so till you don’t realize that your obsessed. That’s what I see his journey as; an obsession that ultimately took his own life. And I liked the message (if you can call it that) and forgive me, but I like when he was taken over or possessed 😂😂. The rat was completely right; he wasn’t doing nothing with his own body so, he might as well had put it to some use. I liked to see the transformation from a crazed anxious guy to this skipping, stealing guy that he was at the end. You know he’s gonna get into a lot of trouble. The story was sad, but I didn’t expect any less and they delivered it well. Well done! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The rat guy is a witch’s familiar. A demon companion to a witch, but since the witch is dead the rat guy is stuck until he took over his body with some of the energy the witch left. Overall great episode but didn’t feel like Lovecraft

Ok, I just have to say it.....Ronald finally got his hands of Felix Feliis. And still can't properly use the wand.

I really loved this episode! Traveling worlds/dreamwalking is such an interesting topic to me. This and The Autopsy are my favorite so far! I'm about to watch the rest :D

Loved it.Rupert is so talented!

I think uhh by reading comments and seeing the episode its like 1. The painting where walt will die by the witch by sunrise kinda didnt happened because that rat did it instead 2. Prob walt wants his sister to move on and be ready for the afterlife thats why hes soo desperate 3. Walt is prob also ready to die because his sister is in the afterlife now after years

the alchemical and hermetic allegory in all of these episodes, while expected going into it, has still blown me away. Seeing a John Dee mock up in the witchcraft book and then the Vitruvian man and overt quaternary symbolism was a nice touch on a story about the perils of the alchemists journey and how you can end up being used and at worst a possessed husk of yourself by your material and spiritual enemy in pursuit of noble goals. This show is truly Black Mirror of the spirit for the average hermetic or occult enthusiast.

Watch Rupert in Sick Note and Servant. He's a great actor! So underrated. He plays each character really well!

05:50. Both are very loosely based on H.P. Lovecraft stories of the same title. So yes. Yes they are. "Pickman's Model" was also a short in an episode of Rod Sterling's "Night Gallery."

Here's what I don't get...how could Jenkins be alive when his body is rotting by the witch? Only problem I had with this episode...you could argue & tell me it's the witch house but I'm not buying that excuse (he had to be a warlock or something right? Or was he a ghost rat that once entered the body he can be physically reborn?) Edit:Only reason why I like this episode is simple. Life after death is real & it made me cry when he finally got to see his sister in the forest.

I seem to love the episodes that everyone dislikes and I find really "meh" the ones that everyone loves, this is one of my favourites.

This episode was mutually exclusive!

The ending ruined it. The scene where he says goodbye to his sister should've been the end. Felt like the writer forced another ending that wasn't good

As someone knew to all these horror stories, this episode was the weakest, especially because there was no explanation for the 2 main supporting characters' motivations and existence. The rat of course, but what about the lady painter? why does the witch compel her to paint? why was she also in the other dimension? why does she paint in those weird triangular canvas? lol no sense. If you're going to adapt a story for mass consumption, you need to come up with creative ways to introduce those key aspects to the story.

Both Pickman model and this are H.P. Lovecraft stories to my knowledge

Weakest episode yet, but still not bad. Goes to show how good this anthology is!!!

My least fav. I got the point about not being stuck in the past because his friend basically said it to him in the bar and his dead sister literally as him how comes he's not blowing up the bill boards with his music? But apart from that it did nothing for me. I really didnt feel the charactors, didnt feel the bond betwean him and his friend. Not sure wat purpose the artist served (she was literally painting dude, saw dude in the forrest and still didnt recognise dude till the last minute). I didnt get what was the rats connection to the witch but him taking his body and taking over his life was a creep moral for the story i guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ plus how his friend gonna just leave his body in a creepy witch house? Only shows what type of friend he was i guess

Who was the rat? Can someone tell me his back story? I didn't catch that in this episode...

I can't wait to hear your take on the Viewing, that was bizarre.

I liked parts of this but it was definitely not my favorite. I liked the witch a lot. They did a really good job with her eyes.

I love this episode but the only problem I had was Epperley’s acting..(maybe it’s just me) I think it’s the way the actress was saying her lines or her facial expression (also she’s a kid so I understand). Rupert was giving so much and then I get thrown off when she speaks

As far as Lovecraft adaptations go from this anthology, I think this was the weakest. Rupert's performance was good but the creepiness factor went down after the little rat guy showed up, in my opinion. Lovecraft adaptations should always focus on vaguely described and shown terrors. This one felt more like dark fantasy than horror.

Grint's acting was good in this one, but supporting cast was so unbearably stiff. Also, why say this one was based on Lovecraft's story when it was just names and general appearances that were taken from the story?

These are good episodes tbh > cabinets of Curiosities short stories of horror

i loved the look of the witch but didn't know what the rat was about

I noticed that Jenkins took over Walts body in the same way the Traveller did and the Demon from the Lot was implied to. Along with the Demon, Traveller and the Dark Church idol Maisson found all look similar and spare features with the mutant from The Viewing. And Pickman is the descendant of a famous sorceress, and Maisson a very similar name to Mason... Im not sure if these are parallels, deliberate throughlines or outright connections

Ron Weasely cant escape the witches. lol

I think I would have liked this episode IF they had not called it "Dreams in the Witch House" and claimed it was based on Lovecrafts Story of the same name. It is among my top 3 Lovecraft Stories and literally everything that I would say Lovecrafts story was about, was taken out of the show and replaced with more "common" and "human" issues like love and death. These are good and fine topics, but when you expect a story about how grand and horrifyingly big and old and ultimately non-humane the universe is and how it is filled with creatures beyond our understanding and you expect to be chilled to the bone by realizing how small and insignificant you yourself are, then I am afraid it falls very flat.

I think it's interesting how many religions have this idea of a *potentially* scary passage through the afterlife before you move on to your next incarnation, or liberation, or whatever. Christianity has purgatory, Tibetan Buddhism has the bardo etc.

who else half-expected him to say "... and robots" at the beginning of the video?

Please someone tell me the name of the song at the beginning of the episode.

What is the song name when frank walks away with his new body?

Anyone else thought the song Epperley was singing was the Outlander opening? Or is it just me?

I liked this episode I just wish it wasnt titled after the Lovecraft story "Dreams in the Witch House" unless the main character was the woman staying there having dreams from the start it just doesn't make as much since and it's clearly just BASED on it and not a telling of the story which is fine but should have been named differently to not imply just a telling of the original story.

Barely resembled Lovecraft or the title of the story which is "Dreams IN the Witch House" yet no dreams happen there until near the end. It would have been nice to see some of the esoteric geometry of the original story but instead we the tired cliche of a spooky forest for most of the episode which wasn't in the original.

Do it work on only these two twins or any twins? What about triplets, etc? The rat asked "is he the one we've been waiting for?" She says "twins". That's so vague, left asking a lot of questions

MEANING OF KAL EL IN HEBREW: Voice of God The suffix El means “of God” in Hebrew, with Kal-El defined as “Voice of God”. Before Krypton's doom, Kal-El's parents put him in a Moses-like basket, sending him down the Nile of intergalactic space until he landed safely on Earth. Superman may not necessarily be a direct representation of Jesus but it's definitely a Messianic figure so it's really dumb to not accept that. Snyder is literally treating the DC heroes as Modern Mythology. At least he's trying to do something interesting with those characters and not just saturate them with disney jokes.

Loved the witch design, main character absolutely got what he deserved, 9/10.

Ron Weasley, you dafty! Didn’t Hogwarts teach you not to mess around with dark magic, along with hopping in and out of the land of the dead?!

In the Lovecraft story, the familiar's name is actually "Brown Jenkin."

where did Mr. Jenkins come from it was kinda random to me,

I think the title should be a review instead of "ending explained".

Someone please tell me which composition was playing at the start of the episode because it's driving me insane!!!!!!!!! WHAT WAS IT.

This is one of my least favorites, specially cause this exact same story was adapted much better in the Masters of Horror series. Also of the many British actors that can do American accent, Ron Weasley is not one of them.

Rupert Grint has come a long way since Harry Potter

The moment i seen the rat 😂 damn scabbers

It's strange watching a witch trying to kill Ron without saying "Avada Kedavra" (・人・)

Second time Rupert has been screwed over by a Rat....

My mine question is how was his sister supposed to come back to life with Walts death? The witch mentioned something about it

I want Liqwid Gold too.👋😷🇦🇹

I watched this on a plane and feel like I definitely missed some stuff. Can someone explain who/what the rat was?

Reminds me of master of horror episode

❤❤❤❤

I thought it was pretty straightforward….not being able to move on in life and being a drug addict

This wasn't a Lovecraft adaptation. It was a rewrite with some of the same names. The plot is completely different and they even reversed Brown Jenkin's name for some reason and made it Jenkins Brown. wtf? I've seen a lot of people confused by "the rat"'s purpose. In the story, as it was explained, Brown Jenkins is the witch's familiar. I highly recommend anyone reading this, to not watch the episode and go read the story. It's a better plot and makes more sense. If you're not into actually reading Lovecraft, Masters of Horror did a better adaptation. They, at least, used the plot from the story.

I liked it but there needed a little bit more fleshing out about the rat imo

I have no idea why they felt they needed to alter H.P. Lovecraft's masterpiece. Dreams in the Witch House is not only one of the best and horrific of his stories but is also one with enough content to Bring to the screen. I was extremely disappointed with everything about this episode. What huge led down.

It was okay, but y'know, just for once, I'd like to see a Lovecraft adaptation that actually sticks to the stories he wrote. Minus the racism, of course. Graveyard Rats was the best episode for me.

his sister is so freaking strong. one time pulled his bro right off the witch. Then while his weaklings bro struggles to hold off the dagger, she just take it with easy

While it makes sense to change written works for the medium of film, this is WHINO (Witch House In Name Only). It deviates so significantly from the style, content, and point of the original that one can only honestly say it was, at most, "inspired" by the story. On its own merits, it is...something one can watch with one's eyes.

Yeh but who tf IS Jenkins? Did I miss where he was introduced?

The Frank character was annoying. At the church stand off scene, Frank offers to calmly take Walt to the hospital while he’s clearly under supernatural control lol

Is that Ron Weasley!?

Boring episode, and like its Lovecraftian counterpart episode Pickman, it leaves entirely too many questions unanswered. Rupert's acting was ace and perhaps the highlight of this episode although in some moments (like when he was paralyzed and rotated by the witch, etc, I just knew I was watching Ron Weasley, Weasleying all over again lol). Aside from Potter-head affection for this man as an actor, I don't feel this episode stands well on its own, for example, if the main character was played by someone else. Easily the weakest ep of the season. The nun was annoying, and I chuckled that after her dedicated life reciting prayers and such, it all suddenly escapes her and her best defense was to hold a cross and shout "GTFO of my church!" to the witch LOL. yeah, okay. Failed attempt at comedic relief, imo. Another thing, I wanted to yell at ol girl that kept repeating "mutually exclusive" like a parrot or broken record. We heard you the first three times, sis. The way that phrase was repeated you'd think it was more essential to the ending or plot, as a whole. It wasn't. AND another thing, the Spiritual committee was laughable in that they want funding to prove instances of the supernatural yet Rupert's character comes back with proof and a story worth investigating and dude is like, nah, you're crazy. Which, I accept the argument that he was dismissed because of drug use, but the same committee guy dismissed the painter/clairvoyant as well so it's like, what are you looking and/or expecting man? Everyone who's legit, this guy is dismissing, knowing that their funding is on the line if they don't produce something...legit! LOL

This episode reminded me of the same title from an episode of Masters of Horror. It was set during modern time though of a student renting a room. Just like this one, the rat made no sense with interdimensional movement and such. Utterly dumb.

Well, in the end you ranked graveyard rats higher than this. What made you change your mind?

Where can I see this movie

Rupert carried this episode but the episode massively sucked - I hate shows with meandering storytelling where it is clear that they couldn't find a way to land a conclusive ending. Same problem with the first episode.

Dear God this episode pissed. And still pisses me off.. still so confused 🤣

people are really hating this ep for no reason. horror wasn't much to showcase in this episode but emotion. this and the murmuring really made me sad. 😭😭😭

Can we just say that they did Rupert Grint a little dirty? Or essentially just another version of Ron’s character in Harry Potter… Chamber of Secrets having to save his sister Ginny from death / the death of Fred one of his twins brothers. THE TALKING RAT. smh 🤦‍♀️ Prisoner of Azkaban finding out Scabbers was actually Peter Pettigrew who helped bring Voldemort back to power.

Rupert is really killing the horror genre with Cabinet of Curiosity’s and Servant.

I really did not enjoy this one it just strays to far from the origin H.P Lovecraft story

Movie: cabinet of curiosities Genre: horror Episode: dreams In a witches house (episode 6) Religion based: yes Based off what religion? : Eastern Orthodoxy (Christianity)

Who the heck was the rat tho. Not much story were it came from at all. Was he even human

Horrible. One more horrible "adaptation" of Dreams of the Witch House to add to the list. No dreams in the Witch House (drug trip? please); Keziah was never dead, she dissappeared in front of everybody; Brown Jenkin had no explanation "for being there, just to cheer Balrog/Keziah up"; Gilman's motivations? omg, the guy was obsessed with KM story! I complain. Yes, I'm complaining because I'd like to see a GOOD adaptation of a Lovecraft tale sometime in my life. It's as if people conceive only one kind of horror, they don't seem to know the concept of Cosmic Horror. I'm tired, really, really tired. I had hopes for this having Guillermo del Toro's signature, but... =/

That episode was weakest one. Absolutely agree about acting - very unconvincing. To the point that sometimes it felt like amateur theatrical play. Cinematography is great, but story and acting was all over the place.

I would have liked the episode better if the sister turned out to be evil, and planned to kill Ron so she could live, but he wouldn't know that until the end

The Dreams in the Witch House was written in January/February 1932 and first published in the July 1933 issue of Weird Tales and is a CLASSIC short story by H.P. Lovecraft. CLASSIC implies that it does not need to be "improved" by a lesser author. Whatever this miscarriaged, aborted, distorted aberration of the original story is truly a "Thing That Should Not Be." There have been multiple film adaptations to HPL's work over the decades and to be honest they have been overall disappointing. I thought Lovecraft Country had potential but that turned out to be a woke/white man bad nightmare. When I saw Guillermo del Toro was going to do HPL work I said "Finally, someone who can give HPL stories justice." While enjoying GDT visual effects the story was shit. What is is with people today thinking that it is ok to stray from the original source material, destroy it utterly and still call it by the original title? The most current example is Amazon's Rings of Power debacle. I encourage everyone who is disappointed with this story to let everyone know on social media, write Netflix, the author's website etc etc. Maybe if enough voices are raised that people will pay attention to the fans

Lovecraft never thought much of this story and the (far too many)changes made here did nothing to improve matters.

They could've picked a better H.P. Lovecraft story to adapt like Shadows Over Innsmouth, Dagon, The Dunwich Horror, Nyarlathotep or The Dark Brotherhood to name a few. They did very poorly on this one.

Sorry but the two adaptations from H.P Lovecraft's books disappointed me

Justice ⚖Karma

It was dragging

Wow this one was by far the worst episode so far. The dialogue was so corny and too on the nose. This episode had none of the intrigue of the first 5. I found myself zoning out 20 minutes in. It was just laughable at some points, like how was his ghost sister strong enough to pull the witch off of him? And of course it was in the perfect timing too right before the dagger pierced his eye. Not good ugh

Ep 6 👎

I think rupert over acted in this one.

The worst episode of the whole season. An insult to HP Lovecraft's work.

This is the worst episode!!! This is NOT HP Lovecraft!!!!

this had nothing to do with the story, shouldn't have used the name

This episode is a travesty. Not only was it a poor adaptation of Lovecrafts work. It was poorly written and poorly directed
