Media for The Haunting of Hill House


Recommended Posts

Well, I did like almost everything about Hill House (besides the much too happy and wrapped up ending; what can I say? I like my horror anthologies to end on a more sinister/cynical note) so I am looking forward to season 2. It looks like it'll be called The Haunting of Bly Manor, and I read that it may have some of the season 1 actors playing new characters (not confirmed, but there's a possibility). We do have to wait until 2020, which is the downside.

I actually saw a production of it when I was 21 and fell asleep during it but that just might have been a really shirtty production.

I'm not sure how TotS would work as a play. It is an amazing short story that can be read differently each time, as it is left ambiguous enough to be read as a ghost story or a tale of insanity. It could make a beautiful movie, because of the gothic setting, moors and fog and lots of atmosphere, but IDK how that would work on a stage unless it is a really high end Broadway production.

After the first season I understand that they are going for more of a loose interpretation of the source material, rather than a film adaptation of a book, so that gives me hope that they will take all the tension of TofS and the slightly disturbing themes and turn it into something interesting. I've been burned before though, so I'm going into this cautiously optomistic.

In the words of Flanagan, Bly Manor is "scarier" than what came before. “It’s a lot more frightening, just on a visceral level.”

Ummm, yikes?!  I was surprised at how scary the first season was.
