Nell's sister, husband and son visit her at her apartment. What does their son do to upset Nell?

Bangs on the wall with her mother's walker. Richie picks up the walker and bangs on the wall. He says "Eleanor, help me! I have to pee!" In this scene, Nell's sister and husband tell Nell that she has lost her apartment because of her mother's will.

During dinner, Dr. Marrow talks about what we need in life (the basics). They are food, water, & shelter. What was Theo's reply?

Sex. In the VHS version, this scene was longer than the televised version. They are eating dinner and talking about their sleep habits.

Mary and Todd leave early because something happened to Mary. What happened to Mary?

She got hit in the face with a harpsichord string. She almost lost her eye in that scene. She lost some blood and got a nasty gash on her face for her troubles. This happened after Dr. Marrow told the first part of the story.

How are Hugh Crain and Nell related?

Crain is her grandfather. Crain's second wife was Nell's great-grandmother, so in reality, he would be Nell's great-grandfather.

Hugh Crain wanted the house to be filled with the voices of children. Since his wife couldn't have children, where did they come from?

The mills. The children were about 10-12 years of age. He killed them and hid them in the fireplace. He wouldn't let them go.

Who shows Nell that the children are trapped in the fireplace?

Carolyn Crain. She shows Nell through a series of pictures. It's like a flipbook. Plus, there's a voice saying "Nell, the fireplace, Nell."

In one scene, Nell is taking some tests. After Luke leaves, she sees something in the fireplace. What does she see?

The chimney flue. It scared the crap out of her. However, she denies that she saw the chimney flue. But that's what it had to be.

The only bedrooms shown in the movie are Theo's and Nell's. What does Nell say that they share?

a bathroom. They don't show the bathroom much in the film. But they do show quite a bit of Nell's room and Theo's room. In fact, Luke complains about how he got screwed on the room situation. Luke's room is the only one not shown. We see only a tiny portion of Dr. Marrow's room.

What happens to Luke by the end of the film?

He is decapitated by the chimney flue. When they showed this movie on TBS, they edited this scene out. After all the doors shut on the captives, Luke takes a candlestick and vandalizes a painting of Hugh Crain. Then a carpet moves by itself and Luke gets thrown into the fireplace. Then the flue swings out and bites Luke's head off. Don't worry: they didn't show any blood.

What is the very last line of the movie?

"You find out what you wanted to know, Doctor?". "City people" was the second to last line in the movie. Thank you for playing.
