History YMMV / ThisHouseHasPeopleInIt

** Jokes about Lynx Disease are very popular among the Creator/WhamCityComedy fandom, with the references being dropped constantly in both other Wham City works and on social media.
** Tom's "Salute The Flag" song is one of the more memorable clips, and it's often referenced when discussing the work or on Wham City's social media.

* DeathOfTheAuthor: Whatever is going on is left entirely up to the viewer.
* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Basically all the actors in the series do a good job of selling it, but Tom's actor in particular does a fantastic job of portraying a man who is having a breakdown over his stepdaughter being absorbed into the floor while also apologizing to his birth son about having to cancel his birthday party.

* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Possibly [[InvokedTrope invoked,]] of all things. WebVideo/NightMind suggests this to be the true meaning behind the series - that all meaning and perception is inherently subjective, and how the tidbits of information we can gather can't amount to anything conclusive if we simply aren't shown enough of them.

* NightmareFuel: Hoo boy, where do we start?
** First off, the very concept of the main video of slowly realizing your child is unresponsive and ''stuck'' to the floor with no idea what to do, which just screams AdultFear, especially considering how normal-looking the environment is. [[spoiler:[[FromBadToWorse As soon as Madison starts sinking into the floor]], all hell breaks loose.]]
** The conclusion of the video where [[spoiler:Madison finally falls through into the basement onto a mattress, cut to audio of the parents screaming, then all the waiting partygoers outside lying prone on the ground. It should be noted there's a quick frame as this happens showing the mattress completely empty, implying ''she continued falling through to oblivion.'']]
*** [[spoiler:It turns out Madison's completely fine, though, as she appears later in the timeline without anybody acknowledging the incident or what happened afterwards. [[NothingIsScarier The fact this is unexplained makes this even worse]].]]
** The Sculptor's Playground video is rather creepy by itself. It starts like a goofy Creator/TimAndEric sketch, with Alan Resnick's character jovially rambling about sculpting and Lynk's disease. However, the mood shifts when he starts inserting ominous non sequiturs into his monologue, including references to someone he knew named "Sam." While this happens, Resnick's character becomes visibly distressed and starts loosing his cool, almost looking like he's going to start crying or lose his temper at a few points. The sculpture he's crafting becomes increasingly misshapen as he gets more upset. The [[DroneOfDread droning background ambiance]] starts to become more pronounced as Resnick's character breaks down, amplifying the overall creepiness. It's uncomfortable to watch, not the least of which because Resnick's portrayal of this character is eerily convincing.
** The [[spoiler:pink HumanoidAbomination is one of the most terrifying parts about the ARG, as not only does it look grotesque and [[UncannyValley uncanny]], [[NothingIsScarier not only is it completely unexplained how it even came into existence]], but it regularly appears in plain sight [[FailedASpotCheck somehow without anybody noticing]], including ''within the same room in a mirror reflection.'']]
*** At the very end of the video past the credits, we get... [[spoiler:[[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spookyguy.png this.]]]]
*** Even more scary is the credits list it as [[spoiler:a Family Friend]]...
*** The final, chronological file is a video showing Tom and Anne having a mundane conversation in bed. [[spoiler:Then the pink humanoid casually walks in their room, revealing itself, as the two suddenly scream in terrified horror as the camera cuts out. The end.]]

** The entirety of The Sculptor's Playground video is rather eerie, even when taken on it's own from the rest of the ARG. The sculptor, [[TalkativeLoon a talkative man given to aimless rambling]], [[SanitySlippage slowly breaks down over the course of the video, becoming angry and visibly distressed as he clumsily mashes clay together]]. He makes cryptic, ominous remarks about violence, self-loathing, [[NoodleIncident a run-in he had with the police]], and a girl named "Sam," [[DarkAndTroubledPast who he clearly has some kind of past connection to]]. There are a few points where it looks like the sculptor is [[FreakOut on the verge of crying or losing his temper]], but he simply carries on with the video as if nothing's wrong.
