We’re only a few days away from the premiere of Netflix’sThe Haunting of Bly Manor, and to help keep the hype train moving, theshow’s official Twitter accountjust shared a series of certified spooky posters revealing the titles of each episode.
The follow-up to the surprise hitThe Haunting of Hill Housefrom horror guruMike Flanaganretains Flanagan as showrunner but tells an entirely new story with a new cast of characters. The nine-episode series is an adaptation of Henry James’ gothic novellaThe Turn of the Screw, about a governess hired to care for two young children at a sprawling country manor in England who comes to believe that the house is haunted. That said, if Flanagan’s adaptation of Shirley Jackson’sThe Haunting of Hill Housewas any indication, the show is going to take substantial liberties with James’ original story. (I mean that in a good way, as Flanagan’sHill Housewas both profoundly creepy and moving.) The trailers so far have been appreciably spooky and vague, promising me ghosts without giving too much of the story away. In addition, Bly Manor’s cast reunitesHill HouseactorsVictoria Pedretti,Oliver Jackson-Cohen,Henry Thomas, andKate Siegel, which is just another reason I intend to binge the whole season the instant it becomes available next week.
