Lovecraft connection
“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die”
The first half of this famous Lovecraft quote is uttered several times in this film. I kept thinking it would go further in this vein. It does give a clue that the hanging bodies would re-animate, but I am sure everyone expected that anyway.
I guess it gives a little hint as to what the family may have been up to (typical Lovecraftian cosmic horror cult shenanigans).
