This is an episode of Gravity Falls that I always wanted to see yet I didn't expect it.
Where to start well the episode starts out with Pacifica's family getting ready for a party but they are soon interrupted by the ghosts presence causing Pacifica to hire Dipper to get rid of the ghost to which he reluctantly agrees on the condition of Mabel and her friends being invited to the party but when Dipper starts hunting the ghost things go to hell in a teapot when the taxidermy animals start bleeding from the mouth and chanting "ancient sins" then the ghost appears from the fireplace as a burning skeleton to which the journals advice is "pray for mercy".
Northwest Mansion Mystery is one of my favourite episodes so far just for how many risks Alex Hirsch took in creating this episode and it takes me back to how dark disney originally was. for example in Something Wicked This Way Comes it showed a thirteen year old child being decapitated or in Fantasia where they show a disturbing version of the devil who was called Chernabog.
In this episode I saw alot of character development for Pacifica and how she was psychologically abused by her family but what I liked about the delivery of this revelation was that there wasn't begging nor screaming nor crying, it was just her reaction to the bell that explained everything.
It's also been hinted that Pacifica is the Llama on the cipher wheel since there was a Llama painting in one of the rooms but I am not so sure if its symbolism but given the other theories about who represents the Llama then I believe its Pacifica.
I have to talk about this since its in the episode but there is alot of Ship Teasing with Dipper and Pacifica (or as the fans call them "Dipifica") in this episode and if you watch the episode you will see why but in my opinion I don't think they are going to be in a relationship this fast because the two did hate each other in the beginning and I don't think they'd change their relationship that fast to romantic but I find it hard to not agree with the followers of Dipifica.
To conclude the review I insist that you should watch this episode because there is a great story, a great villain and romance?. Overall this is one of the best episodes of season 2 and a must watch.
