The Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor

 


If you're seeking the finest Netflix horror TV program, go no further than The Haunting of Hill House, which will be followed by The Haunting of Bly Manor in 2020. Hill House is a narrative of a family who returns to their former house to confront the circumstances that pushed them away, a drama with many truly horrific scenes brought to life by a fantastic ensemble cast (including Carla Gugino and Henry Thomas).

Meanwhile, Bly Manor doesn't quite reach the same terrifying heights as Hill Mansion – it's about an American au pair who looks after some bereaved children in another massive old house with plenty of weird goings-on – but it's a gothic romance at its core, and admirably distinct from Hill House. On Netflix, both are worth binge-watching.
