Explaining: This House Has People In It 

find the "R"

"Do I have Lynks?" "Yes you do. you have it." For some reason that makes me absolutely lose my shit

"What has spiky hair, is blue, has red shoes and runs super fast?" "Umm, Sonic the Hedgehog?" "No no no.. let me help you out a little more. It eats trash too." "AHHHH, it's Boomy the Cat!"

How the hell does a short horror film about a girl phasing through a floor turn into "this guy dresses up as a blue cat and eats clay because south african legend"

This story is so much like the "Hi I'm Mary Mary" story. A house is like a mind, and there are things plaguing it, like paranoia.

Spiky hair. Blue. Running. *thinks* ROLLING AT SPEED OF SOUND. FASTEST HEDGEHOG AROUND

Seems like one hell of a scp. A memetic disease that can physically manifest the more people learn about it? Pretty crazy, seems like a third party is involved as well.

I think the point is to get you to waste all your time trying to work it out only conclude one thing as certain "This House Has People In It".

"You want to see the creature?" No "Are you sure?" Yes *shows it anyway* Thanks Night Mind

It's been bothering me for a long while: Nick, I'm pretty sure when he said "and that doesn't wash off", he meant the infection itself. Generally you can't "wash off" a disease once it's infected you.

I always wondered where that cursed Sonic render came from, turned out it was Boomy from this short, which caused me to discover this ARG and this video. What a rabbit hole.

AND WERE PROUD AND WERE PROUD AND WERE PROUD OF THE FLAG SALUTE THE FLAG SALUTE THE FLAG SALUTE THE FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG OF THE MOUNTIAN TOOOOOOP *cries*

I love when horror is done in broad daylight. I think when done right, it's even scarier than the dark.

Lynks disease is when you watch an 11 minute video, then spend 4-5 hours trying to link it together

The most elaborate sonic fan fiction out there

The dad especially is such an uncomfortably good actor, it makes it seem less like funny nonsense and more like someone who's actually subtly unhinged.

"don't pay attention to the back window, it's just Dennis the repairman being jumped by two people, but we'll talk about that later" because that's just a normal thing that happens

I forgot I WASN'T watching a news piece about horse apples.

This project is so old but one odd note is the email mentioning Boomy and a "pink one", acknowledging Jackson being aware of the pink person. This short film is fucking bonkers

I keep coming back to this video but if you notice, the pink guy doesn't actually cause any harm. It just exists around the house. It doesn't attack anyone, it doesn't destroy things, but they're still scared of it. Just like Lynks

after watching the original short film I was like “ok how is he gonna spend 90 minutes talking about this” which quickly morphed into “oh my god how does he only spend 90 minutes talking about this”

these people are really good actors, i feel like lots of ARGs are more obvious because of a little bit of overacting, but the dialogue between these characters seems to be usually pretty natural sounding and believable

How did we go from "Girl goes through floor, with occasional frames of a sonic ripoff and a monster" to "man dresses up as a fake sonic and eats clay and trash"

i think the reason the mom texted the daughter asker her to not be in the bathroom for so long was because the ABC company can’t put cameras in the bathroom and for some reason she wants her daughter to be visible to the company. maybe the reason Madison was just sitting in the bathroom is because she doesn’t want to be filmed, and that could also be the reason that she avoids going home (leaving her mom in the parking lot to hang with her friends)

I think the only thing we can 100% conclude is that "this house has people in it".

"It gives him aspiration..." "...to be a blue cat?" "To be a FAST cat"

1:05:55 does.. does that third text box say "10 easy way to kill yourself or your loved ones when Lynks Disease becomes too much to handle"...?

Adult swim: silly adult shows with not much meaning *also adult swim*

The dad explaining, very seriously, that Boomy is “blue and he’s very, very fast” was unbelievably funny

When he said the definitive answer is your own perception I almost cried bc it's 3am and I have no ability to think for myself so I was really counting on him to tell me

even 5 years later, this video has some absolutely GOLD quotes; "Ignore any movement you see behind Tom, that's just Dennis, the repairman, recovering after being absolutely wrecked by two guys who jumped him", “He straps on a costume and eats clay, just like a South African” or "This family watches a show on tv where a man with an imaginary disease praises a cure that is a metaphor for horse shit"

Several words: obsession leading to neglect. A recurring theme is obsession, paranoia, and child neglect. I think the people and things being face down and stuck is an allegory for being "too far gone" into a delusion or trend, and that madison falling through the floor is symbolic of a descent into madness, possibly death. The pink thing is probably personification of the combination of paranoia and child neglect plaguing the family. This personally reminds me of an extreme religious household or something, one that practices home remedies over actual medical treatment and as a result, the children of the family suffer, believing that they are riddled with something terrible, and the parents punishing or neglecting them because of that, beit sin/"sinful behavior", or lynks. I don't think that's what this is and allegory for, its just reminiscent of it. There is a potential that lynks isnt even important at all and is a red herring, the real issue being the abuse and neglect of the children due to the parent's insanity and obsession, which is overlooked due to everything else going on

Video: horror movie where girl sinks into floor Lore: okay so there’s this guy who dresses up as a blue cat and eats garbage and clay pizza, also there’s a pink person in their basement and wears bed sheets

I think "This House Has People in It" is probably the worst path Sega has taken to advertise a Sonic game.

"Please ignore the repairman he's recovering from being jumped by 2 guys"

everyone talks about "ignore any movement you see behind tom, that's just dennis the repairman recovering after being absolutely wrecked by two guys who jumped him", but not enough people talk about "maybe you're like jackson, who suddenly develops extreme mental processing speed and tries to hack into the government with 4 laptops on the kitchen floor". that took me tf out the first time i watched this holy shit

Alan: Playing with clay will give you Lynks Disease. Alan:Playing with clay will cure Lynks Disease. The Lynks Disease killed itself in confusion.

tom aggressively singing is just what dads do

As it turns out, its one giant ARG for the new Sonic the Hedgehog hollywood movie.

I know I'm six years late but I want to share my interpretation. I think this entire art piece is a statement on anxiety. Madeline is literally sinking through the floor. She's sinking down into anxiety about Lynkes disease, which is ironically manifesting her symptoms. This is common with those with anxiety, they often fear situations so intensely that they end up creating and manufacturing memories and events which didn't happen. Anxiety is all about perception, which explains the common theme there. Everyone in the family is a hypochondriac for Lynkes , and this ends up manifesting in their day to day lives, which destroys the family (as we see in the short film.) I don't think we're meant to take everything literally, I think it is a figurative exploration of anxiety and compulsion, and how it can interfere with people's lives. In reality, the true disease is not Lynkes, it's the fear of Lynkes.

Alan Resnick just wanted to show us his Sonic OC.

How did we go from "Girl falls through floor" to "sonic the hedgehog ripoff eats clay"

I've gotta say, this is probably the greatest "normal human" acting in terms of dialogue I've ever seen.

As much as I wish I could bring myself to watch these art films and support such passion and creativity, the way my heart sank into my gut from the five second clip of pink man walking up to the parent's bed reminds me why I can't. Very glad to have channels like these to satisfy my curiosity!

It's simple: They're Sims

I realized something while watching this again: the way Tom and Ann barely notice things happening right in front of them, forget about watering the Christmas tree for a week, and seem to lose all their common sense at completely random times? That reminds me an awful lot of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. And towards the end of the video, the house begins to fill with smoke. Just something to chew on.

the pizza thing is interesting from the neglect pov! not to get too into it but my sister and i were neglected by our dad and the only decent meal we'd get would be pizza on fridays. it was like... getting that pizza and everyone eating together and watching a movie, we could all pretend we were normal and doing Classic Normal Family things

No matter how many times I watch this, hearing "after the baby escapes into the woods" always cracks me up. You say that so nonchalantly it's hilarious because the tone and delivery matches the content of the madness going on xD

Lynx disease is the embodiment of WebMD saying you have cancer after typing in that your head hurts.

I went in skeptical as always but was pleasantly surprised to find that that house DID, in fact, have people in it. Thank you for not betraying my trust Mr. Resnick.

I come from feldup's youtube channel and the only thing I want to say is thank you, from all of the French internet/horror community

When Madison disappeared from the mattress, I assumed she started flailing like a Skyrim character and clipped out of existence.

29:00 - 39:00 when he started talking about the apples i forgot what i was even watching

I love how in tape 05008 Night Mind just says, "Tom isn't doing so well, Observe" and then Tom just fuckin goes headfirst into a door and Iose my shit.

Going off of the child neglect theory (which I find very valid) the pink monster could be the personification of neglect. hence why it torments the parents in particular showing them their failures through not providing bed sheets to their son. It also resides in the junk room where items are neglected.

In the “forgot password” option on the surveillance website, it actually says “forgot pword” so perhaps that adds “ass” to the list of missing letters haha

In all reality, how many retakes do you think they had to do from laughing? Like Tom singing about the flag.

the scariest part of this video is finding out that real people are actually addicted to eating clay

I fell asleep with this video playing and I woke up with Tom screaming “*TO THE FLAAAG! TO THE FLAAAAG!!*”

I fucking love that this horror arg makes fun of Sonic in a way that is extremely important to its solution.

When Dennis was using the wood plank to try to keep Madison from falling any farther I was so scared it was gonna bust her skull or something

Alan saying "Find the R" is referring to the happy bithday banner, isn't it...

Me: Wow I can’t wait to watch this video find out why this girl is sinking into the floor Night Mind: so there’s this guy who’s obsessed with boomy and eats clay Me: oh

It just hit me, since she phases through walls, the house literally has people inside it.

I came in here wanting to know why Madison fell through the floor and idk even know what this is anymore

I just watched Feldup's video on "This House Has People In It", his 100th finding. In the end of it he explains how you basically are the reason that he's making videos to this day. Thank you for being the spark that inspired him to be the creator that he is today, you helped with the creation of what is in my opinion, and i'm sure the one of many others, the best "horror" youtuber on the french side of youtube. I wish you the best

“I don’t remember a character who’s all pink” OH SHIT.

i think the pink creature is a manifestation of loneliness, being forgotten, feeling unimportant due to its connection with the children, being pink and the baby goes pink (also the hat is pink) in the camera, using the sons bedsheets and maddison most likely killing herself. also it comes from a place that looks forgotten about, filled with so much mess it’s unable to be seen until it makes itself seen, kind of like how maddison is finally ‘seen’ by her parents after she starts phasing through the floor. also maddison just wanted to feel normal with her friends, hanging out at the mall, and her mum got mad at her for it and i also think both the parents are extremely paranoid people and end up harming those around them due to it. also the pink creature appears to be a female due to anatomy, maybe it’s the woman from the window that’s just deteriorated into pure negative feelings from mostly maddison due to the woman looking like her.

Ok but "Tom" struggling to control his body by the front door looked amazing. The acting in that scene was so creepy but so interesting.

"That's just Dennis the repairman recovering after being completely wrecked by two jumpmen." okay......

Revisiting this so many years later- when I first watched this, it got in my head so bad that I couldn’t sleep. Props to Alan Resnick for creating one of the most inexplicably horrifying things of all time.

"I think Boomy inspires him." "To be a blue cat?" "To be a FAST cat." im in tears

that super casual delivery of "Ignore any movement you see behind Tom, that's just Dennis, the repairman, recovering after being absolutely wrecked by two guys who jumped him." Like it's something so routine it doesn't even warrant further explanation, it cracked me up.

The flag scene made me more uncomfortable than some big-budget horror films. Something about it is so surreal and sad, and I can't place it at all.

It’s really a shame the website is completely down at this point, I’d love to dig deeper into this just to see if I could find anything else

I never even realized when I was working with clay in art class I was being infected and cured simultaneously.

Open the door, _Get on the floor,_ *_EVERYBODY MELT INTO THE FLOOR_*

Came for the long form RU-vid horror analysis. Left with a fruit based cure for cancer.

IT'S MY CHARACTER! I'M BOOMY THE CAT! I COME OUT, I THROW TRASH, ALL OVER, ALL OVER THE STREET! AND THEN, I START EATING GARBAGE!

This vid gave me lynks. It also got rid of it. But i already had it. Wait what?

"It's his aspiration." "To be a blue cat?" "To be a FAST cat." Favourite line in the series. Tom is just nuts.

An interesting thing about the lynks in the water is that it sounds like the many conspiracies around water, esp tap water. One example is the worry about fluoride in the water (even though it’s super watered down and just helps your teeth).

thank you community college osteology class for giving me the ability to recognize a spinning 3d human occipital bone in less than a second

When I first saw that spiky blue guy, I immediately thought he was a crappy Sonic cosplayer...

The title is so strong. "This House Has People In It" The implication feels like you can assume what you want from the title in a variety of ways, but at its base structure the most important thing the title tells us is they aren't calling the people in the house a "family". Its almost advertising a home but warning us its been infested with people, and at the end of the video one of those people escapes (baby) and we see everyone on the ground. This Earth Has People In It

On va etre pas mal à venir ici apres le video de feldup😂

*Nightmind:* He’s blue, he’s fast, and you probably recognise him *Me:* ..Oh it’s one of _those_ creepypastas huh?

You are the only RU-vidr for whom I actually stop what I'm doing and watch when I receive a video notification. Of course, I'm a bomb disposal specialist, so maybe that's not a good thing to admi

The sculpture that is "sold for $200,000" is one of the sculptures in front of the fireplace.

Perception, in particular flawed perception, is definitely a central theme. But in addition to being an extended metaphor for that and possibly other related ideas, I think that THHPII could also be said to have symbolic clues about the relative pasts of these family members before they came together, which aren't spelled out for us. And I lean more toward Nightmare Masterclass's theory about the pink person--that it's a manifestation of Jackson's dead mother, Tom's first wife. That could offer another reason why she (the pink figure is revealed to have boobs at one point, so apparently it is indeed a girl) spends so much time in their bedroom. And in that image that this video focused on for so long toward the end of her approaching the married couple, her arms are outstretched, the bedsheet is covering her back, and she seems to be showing her naked body to the couple--perhaps a reference to Tom's sexual baggage with his first wife and how it affects his relationship with Anne, and possibly the threat she feels from the idea that he had a wife before her who is dead now and the question of whether she can measure up. Speaking of the bedsheet--this theory provides a possible explanation for why she wears that, too. If the bedsheet that Jackson is denied on his own bed represents the nurturing that he and Madison don't get from Tom and Anne, then perhaps his dead mother is safe-keeping it for him, if she did provide that nurturing for him while she was alive. She could also be metaphorically acting as her son's hero, as Tom tries to when he dresses up as Boomy the cat. Some of those were my own original thoughts and I think others were from Nightmare Masterclass (it sounds vaguely familiar that he said something about the pink figure acting as Jackson's hero).

*AB* Surveillance *Solutions* *ABSolutions* *absolution* definition: the act of forgiving someone for having done something wrong or sinful h o l d m e

"Ignore the movement in the background. It's just Dennis after getting jumped by two people." haha Laughed my ass off.

One hour and 40 minutes later and I still don't have any idea why the daughter phased through the floor.

Je pense qu’on va être beaucoup à venir ici après la vidéo de feldup

I thought the man in Boomy the Cat costume was a cosplayer for Jackson since it's his birthday and he likes the show 💀

I'm good at singing WebMD "You have Lynks disease"

Surprised this video contains no mention of the fact that almost all of Anne & Tom's phone calls to each other end abruptly with one or both of them screaming in terror at the top of their lungs for no apparent reason. Are they seeing the pink monster when this happens? It seems like they can't actually see it most of the time, but maybe sometimes they can, and it's so horrifying that their brain blocks it out after the encounter ends?

Qui vient de feldup ?

Did bethesda make these floors?

"... but I'm pretty sure there's no cat that's all pink." Me: thinks about the pink basement thing. 😮😮😮
