There is something in the attic. 

"my whole life ive considered myself quite easy to kill" is the most relatable thing ive ever heard

It was really cool of him to make it known to the car that the car didn’t have to do any work that day. It’s like, “Hey car, take a load off, buddy.”

That tiny little attic room is surreal as heck

we need a wholesome ghost hunting show from joel where he just befriends them and lifts their spirits

This was uploaded yesterday. I can vouch for Joel.

I'm not sure if making friends with a terrifying wriggling mound of hands and feet was worth losing your job over.

one thing is for sure and that is Joel did NOT want to drive into town!!! you can really see it in his eyes and in the way he shook his head and mouthed the word 'no' and motioned no with his hands

“My whole life I’ve considered myself quite easy to kill” is a great line!

One of my favorites from you dude. Your laughter at the end is contagious af and was the perfect way to wrap up the the grudgening

You can always find more work, but memories like this last a life time ❤️

This is easily the best skit I watched yesterday.

This was by far the friendliest The Grudge out of all the The Grudges

Makes me want to see more stories with horror movies creatures meeting surprisingly chill people who just try to understand and befriend them.

I like how you faded out of the rant about the entity not wanting to kill you and continued with the story. I wish some people in my life had that option.

"You got a car why not just drive yourself into town? I wanted to figure out the scary thing myself." You must've gotten your master's degree in horror movie writing. You have the writing for characters in horror movies down perfectly.

I had almost the same situation with strange noises in the attic in a remote cabin. It turned out to be a dormouse and over the summer I could watch her babies grow up and explore the surrounding area. Most wholesome twist to a scary story.

Joel didn't die in the haunted cottage his work tried to get him murdered by a grudge monster in. They were trying to have him die so they could cash in on his life insurance policy, but he just communicated and helped out a mysterious spirit. That's the kinda guy Joel is. He's a terrible worker, though.

“My whole life I considered myself quite easy to kill,” busted out laughing. Best line hands down

It’s seems that communicating with mysterious The Grudge creatures is all that you’re good for.

Wow, from a whole two screenshot video to multiple thousands of screenshots with sound. You really kicked things up with this one, Joel ❤️

I love the ending of this so much, I hope he keeps his job! I mean he has a good standing in his workplace so his boss should be understanding

Get in touch with The Grudge, tell him about an exciting new opportunity that's just opened up at your old office, maybe that will give him something to do, give him more meaning in his life. ✋🦶✋

Joel is timeless you could tell me he was 23 or 57 and I would just go with it

I hate staying in cottages in Scotland with a the Grudge in them

You are so brave for forming an emotional connection with a the grudge

Glitchy hand foot entities are complicated creatures, really glad to see Joel making such an effort to make sure the little fella was doing ok.

Can't believe this has already been up for a day! Nice work, Joel!

3:14 what a cute smile it has!

The perfect time to hold a The Grudge.

Every time, I wonder how Joel could possibly stay fresh and original with sketch ideas, and every time, Joel blows me away with what he manages to come up with. This was fantastic. What a lovely The Grudge you found, and what a fine form you've mastered in communicating with it!

"A the grudge" really got me me good😆Never change Joel.

Classic video, as always. Thank you Joel, you put a bright spot on the end of my work week. Take care brother ✌️

I love how much your shots have evolved all the scenes in this are so beautiful! Great Video Joel

I’m always excited for Joel’s videos bc I never have any idea where they are going to go 😂

This was so pleasant to watch especially as someone who hates horror movies. It was like a fun, silly children's story and a cute, funny ending

I love the setup for a creepy and horror video, but his nonchalance cuts through that and delivers everything so matter of factly

How does Joel always manage to make me smile?

that night-stand at 2:25 is easily in my top 5 list of rural Scottish cottage night-stands

2nd rewatch since it's the 2nd day of release, as usual. :)

I'm super stoked for Pt 2 "Joel and the the Grudge thing's day out" where you head into the big city and antics ensue

He has such a way with words when describing the uuuh hands and feet thing doing weird things

As a Scot you should have left him a tin of Tennents at the foot of the stairs, If the offering didn't satisfy the spectre at least you'd have had something to mix into your cereal the next morning!

Oh my god he was talking to himself. This whole thing is a story about self-love

Amazing, the tone is so good. My favourite type of Joel Haver films, those mysterious, melancholic yet heartwarming films.

These videos where Joel narrates weird occurrences might be my favorites.

This was the most beautiful "the grudge" encounter

Been watching this over and over for the past 24 hours and wow! All I can say is what a great, on-time, video!

"a the grudge, or a the grudge-adjacent entity" made me LOL

I enjoy how all Joels videos mostly end with some sort of meta laughter. It feels self deprecating or idk makes it seem like its not being taken too seriously. Good stuff.

there's a humorously subversive quality to these vids that makes me completely forget whatever I was worrying about before I clicked them. Now my mind is on the The Grudge guy

i love when this was definitely uploaded yesterday but we all just waited until today to watch

I love the shot of Joel waving his hands at his car, and telling his car what looks like "no way".

Lol, "the 'the grudge'" got me every time.

maybe the real grudge is the friends we make along the way.

I love the detail of it needing to be a boy to play a game with it

This is fantastic. Love watching your talent and skillset progress. Always entertaining, but it just keeps getting better and better.

Life has been very rough for me lately but your video makes me smile and that makes all the difference. I feel that we cannot talk about our problems often because our society is based on an individualistic paradygm where everyone is expected to shut up and keep it all inside. To me you are a voice of our generation that scream against that paradygm and promote sharing our emotion by not being afraid of being our vulnerable selves. Love from Montréal.

The scene of the hand-feet thing from the attic reminded me of a thing that happened when I was a kid, I was about 7-8 years old. I woke up one morning, drowsy and not yet fully awake. I looked up, and I saw one of the ceiling panels slightly removed to the side, and a hand holding a knife was peaking through. I was mortified, frozen in place. I tried to scream for my mother but my voice wouldn’t come out. Moments later, the hand pulled back, and I jumped from bed and ran to my mother and hugged her crying. She came with me to my room and of course, nothing was there, and the panel was in its place. This never happened again. Obviously I was still dreaming since I wasn’t fully awake. But I still remember that day vividly even after almost 22 years.

This speaks to me on such a deep level. Thanks Joel ❤️

The "A the Grudge" bit was funny af.

I love the The Grudge.

This reminds me I need to write something for Tent's Month of Halloween.

You might lose your job, but man, if that isn't a worthy cause! Helping the The Grudge or the The Grudge adjacent entity figure out it's worth and purpose in life is one of the most beautiful things I could imagine.

How does Joel do it? Years of consistent uploads and he’s still knocking them out of the park. This is easily one of my favorites

You're really growing on this trip. Standing up to the car like that really shows progress. ❤ U

Really love the emphatic "no" gesture to the car. That was a good directorial decision.

Sent this yesterday to some of my family and friends that are also horror movie fans, and we all had a great laugh. Thanks, Joel!

Looking into a similar cottage to get away next month so this really vibed. Great shots, editing and writing!

I seriously don't know how this guy uploads such high quality and creative content so consistently

I hate it when I rent a cottage for work but then get distracted trying to solve the mysteries of the The Grudge living in my attic and don't wind up doing any work and then get fired. Happens WAY too often

the cinematography in this video is so gorgeous!

I'm glad you showed yourself telling the car no as there would have been a lot of unanswered questions otherwise.

These are my favorite type of video from you. Keep it up!

I absolutely love when you or the others break character and laugh. Please keep those parts in your videos!

When 'The Grudge' becomes 'The Disgruntlement'

Genuinely got chills and the beginning and I was smiling by the end :)

This video was so good yesterday that I had to watch it for the first time today :)

Excellent work as always my friend it hurts my side from time to time you're hilarious

I'm impressed that you went all the way to Scotland for authenticity.

I bet the thing in the attic wasn't a good internet connection, that's for sure.

I saw this yesterday on the original upload. Glad to see it get posted again.

That’s really poetic, very cute. And the settings are mesmerizing.

Now I want a JOEL-directed Horror movie.

Man, I LOVED seeing this yesterday. 😍 ❤

Can’t wait for the rest of this series.

Little known fact: For Joel's 577th video upload extravaganza, he decided to keep the video unlisted for the first 24 hours and only share the link with select fans to view prior to the public release. I was ecstatic to be one of the lucky ones who saw this on Thursday 9/14/2023 when it was originally uploaded.

I went on a Joel spree for a while, then subbed, then went on a horror short spree for a while, and finally saw my two RU-vid rabbit holes collide. On the down side, neither me nor my The Grudge will get any sleep tonight.

god this has been my favourite youtube video ever since joel haver uploaded it yesterday

This video is INSANEO style, A+ great job.

A spooky thriller that turns surprisingly wholesome, incredible work, love it

Thrilling, I could barely sleep through this.

man, all my life i wanted to live in a place with a nice, finished attic

I love the use of the music in Joel's videos, especially Chopin's Etude op. 25 no 12, this slow version suits perfectly to the situation... ...except that I can't dissociate it from it's perfect use in "Press 1 For More Options"... "we're fucked" [ad infinitum]

Beautiful video as always. The ending was fantastic lol

I loved seeing this yesterday but I'm back today to see it again because the video is so good

This is my favorite one so far!

WoW! I love this video that was posted yesterday!

Thank you, Joel!!

Ok this is for sure your absolute best short film for sure

1:29 Thought process of the main character in every survival horror game ever.
