'Channel Zero: No-End House' Recap - 'The Hollow Girl'

Written by John Edward Betancourt

THIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...

After being convinced that there’s only one way to get her father back into the No-End House, Margot agrees to take the venture once again. With Seth promising that a good life can be made inside of the house, Margot has no idea what she will be giving up. Being able to control the memories that she feeds to her father has become the norm, but Margot is slowly starting to lose herself in the mix. While taking a walk around the neighborhood with Seth, the two see that the house has landed once again and more visitors are about to enter to meet their fate.
​
Waiting a year to find the No-End House again, Jules sees that it has appeared in France. Making her trek with everything that she needs to defeat it and get her best friend back, she spots a familiar face waiting outside. Seth is more than happy to bring Jules back in and gives her a new warning, that her memory seeker is hungry and will most likely kill her when she touches it again. Telling her former traveler her real plan of taking Margot out of the house, Seth is against the action and makes sure that Jules will never make it to his happy home. Waking up to see her memory eater ready to feed again, Jules is forced to put an end to that story, but sees that it is only leading to the beginning of another.

Now knowing the true power of the house, Margot wants to keep people free of the torments it brings, but Seth is not willing to let it die. Talking with Mr. Sleator about his what his daughter is suggesting, the shadow of a father knows that his time is drawing near as well and agrees with the idea. Being on his own in this fight, Seth sees that he might need to take action on his own, but has little idea what he will be up against when Jules is able to fight off her biggest fear. Trying to keep a close eye on his current love, Seth sees that things in the No-End House may be coming to a close for his relationship.

Making her way to Margot’s house, Jules sees her best friend and is ready to take her back home. Not remembering anything of the outside world, Margot believes that she is fine within the house, but has no idea what will happen to her when all of her memories are gone. Taking Margot on a walk to see Seth’s family that the house created for him and being surrounded by his stable of other loves, Margot sees that the hollowed-out girls are nothing more than decoration. Not wanting to lose herself completely as well, the choice will have to be made of escaping the house, but at what price.

While I was not blown away by the ending by any means, it was a good ending to the story. But I still have many questions about how memories are made inside and outside of the house to keep it alive.  That being said, this story was not as visually frightening as Candle Cove was, but it was still pretty good overall. I liked that you get to see how the house works from both sides and if you know how to keep it working for you, you can make a life for yourself. I also enjoyed learning about how to defeat the house and the memory seekers that will stop at nothing to feed and the power they can possess over a person. So, it looks like there will be another season of Channel Zero coming out next year and I am excited to see what it brings. With Creepypasta being intriguing for everyone, I hope that Butcher’s Block is able to blow everyone away. Stay Scared.
