Perry met Roderick Usher when he was 16.

## Trivia

* The Usher family all have names that reference works by Edgar Allen Poe. Prospero's name directly comes from the main character of Prince Prospero in "The Masque of the Red Death," which is also the name of the episode he dies in.
	+ In the story, Prince Prospero is amongst wealthy nobles, holding a masquerade ball in his abbey to avoid the Red Death, a dangerous plague. In the midst of their revelry, a masked unknown figure, which resembles the rigid face of a corpse, enters the room and makes his way through each of the seven rooms decorated with a different color. Prospero confronts the figure, only to immediately die, when his guests rip off the figure's cloak, revealing that there was no one present, but the Red Death itself. Eventually, everyone falls victim to the plague.
	+ This is directly referenced by Prospero Usher's party, but with the Red Death being Verna, and he and his guest fall victim to acid rain.
* All the children of Roderick also seem to follow the theme of the seven colored rooms highlighting their death, with Prospero's being red.

William Hill

## CHARACTERISTICS

**William Hill** is a minor character in *The Haunting of Hill House* and one of the ghosts that haunts the grounds of Hill House following his suicide in 1948.

## Biography

### History

Little is known about his early history. His father Jacob Hill had commissioned the house to be built, and William’s mother died on the grounds before the house was finished. Jacob sent William to a mental institution as he was “clinically insane” and there William met the love of his life, Poppy Hill. William and Poppy married not long after in an asylum and moved to Hill House.

William and Poppy had two children, a girl, and a boy who lost the use of his legs and used a wheelchair. He had a niece named Jacqueline, and his sister Hazel did not get along with his wife Poppy.

In 1948, William walled himself inside the wall of the basement of Hill House. It is assumed that he changed his mind moments later and tried to escape, scratching at the brick wall with no success. His disappearance remained a mystery until his skeleton is found when Hugh Crain is doing renovations on the Hill House property.

As a ghost, he first appears when he is looking for his bowler hat that Luke Crain had found. He haunts Luke as an adult in which he wears his signature hat while standing with his back to Luke.

> "*Fear and guilt are sisters. I knew a man once who knew those sisters well. They kissed his eyelids as he slept, and every morning he went just a little more mad. He built a wall to keep it all outside, but those two sisters, they were in there with him. Even there. That silly man thought his wall would keep them out, but there was just enough room for him... And them. So he was trapped behind that wall. Afraid and guilty. And his voice left him and he scratched and whimpered, and his fingers were shredded on his own bricks until his scratches just sounded like... rats in a wall. He felt small. So small. But that was his dream. And when he woke up, he was tall. So tall. For always.* "

## Trivia

* His ghost appears unnaturally tall, with long limbs, using a cane and wearing his bowler hat. He is briefly shown in a picture on a mantle when Mrs. Dudley is talking about the Hill family with Eleanor Crain.

She and her husband William run a fitness company *Goldbug*.

## Trivia

* Alongside the rest of the Usher family, Tamerlane's name comes from one of the poems written by Edgar Allen Poe, with her's coming directly from "Tamerlane." The poem is a fictionalized account of the life of a 14th Century Turco-Mongol warlord Timur, who was also known as Tamerlane.
	+ This name may have been chosen for Tamerlane's character due to the fact that the conqueror Tamerlane ignored the young love he had for a peasant in order to achieve power, which reflects how Tamerlane ignored her husband to focus more on her Goldbug product. Both also grow to regret their decisions until their deathbeds.

Eventually, it is revealed that — along with Miles — Flora made a deal with Rebecca Jessel to allow her to possess her whilst Peter Quint possessed Miles, in an effort for them to be close with one another once again.

## Biography

### Early History

Not much is known About Hazel Hill. Her father Jacob Hill had the house built, and her mother died on the property before it was finished. It is believed that after Hazel’s father died, she shot his dogs in the middle of the night soon after Jacob died. That is most likely why the Crain family hears several dogs barking and howling in the middle of the night. Most of the time, the dogs begin barking suddenly and then they abruptly stop, almost as if Hazel and the dogs “relive” the moment that Hazel puts them down in the middle of the night. Hazel Hill lived at Hill House with her daughter Jacqueline. Hazel also lived with her brother William, his wife Poppy, and their two children. Hazel reportedly did not get along with her sister-in-law Poppy while alive.

Hazel gifted a porcelain tea set to her daughter Jacqueline that included a tea cup with silver stars on it, referred to as a “cup of stars.”

At one point, Hazel was very ill while living in the home. Her bedroom was directly above the kitchen, in which an old fashioned speaking tube mouthpiece was installed in order for her to speak with staff below. Clara and Horace Dudley worked on the property, and bought the cottage off the grounds. Horace Dudley’s mother worked at Hill House in the kitchens, and his wife Clara Dudley cared for Hazel during her illness, sometimes working double and triple shifts.

Theo senses that Hazel’s bed was a “sick bed” while sitting on it, and Luke sees Hazel’s ghost in a reflection of the brass speaking tube.

On the last night that the Crain family is in Hill House, Olivia Crain encounters Hazel’s ghost. Hazel’s ghost tells Olivia not to trust the apparition of Poppy Hill that she is seeing, calling Poppy a liar.

## Trivia

* Young Luke and Theo saw Hazel's reflection in the brass speaking tube when they were children. Olivia sees her on the night of the big storm, and speaks with her during the last night the family is in the house.
