The Holler: Unhallowed Grounds Part II - Renovations Episode Discussion
The Holler episodes come with a paid subscription to The Holler (link for details!)
Unhallowed Grounds represents the second story arc for subscribers of The Holler this season, following Grave Concerns. The previous episode was titled "Homecoming," and introduced us to Casey Addison and his partner, Devin Roberts, who move to Casey's hometown in Mavisdale, VA in 1974. The pair moved back from New York City after Roberts lost his job teaching writing and directing and Casey flunked out of school due to financial stress. Back home in Mavisdale, Casey's parents help him pick up work at the family diner, while Roberts waits to start work at a local college.
The couple move out of Casey's parents house into an old farm house with a low rent and promise to make updates and repairs. At first, their new life seems to be off to a good start minus a disembodied voice warning Devin not to proceed into the basement in search of a circuit breaker box when the power is mysteriously off in the middle of the night. While Casey works during the day, Devin takes up renovating the house, but something in the house wants things to stay just the way it.
