The Haunting of Hill House more than just another haunted house story. The horror series, based on Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel of the same name, delivered memorably creepy scenes and occasional jump scares, to be sure, but the truly chilling thing about the Netflix show was its ability to seamlessly blend supernatural thrills with a thoughtful explorations on childhood trauma, grief, addiction, and strained family relationships.
After the success of Hill House, creator Mike Flanagan decided to renovate his haunted house show and turn it into an anthology series, The Haunting.
The second season, called The Haunting of Bly Manor, will draw from Henry James' classic 1898 horror novella The Turn of the Screw.
