#the haunting of hill house

[flanaganfilm]

Hi Mike! I love your work. The Haunting of Hill House is a favorite of mine. I am very interested in the history of the house and the ghosts (unnamed ghosts as well). I read somewhere that at the time the show was filming, you were working on a history of Hill House type of story. I wanted to know if that was true.

This is true. The cold open of several episodes, starting with episode 2, were going to be devoted to the history of the house, and set up a lot of context about the individual ghosts we'd meet. We had gone as far as to start casting the roles and figuring out how to build various versions of the set to show the house itself under construction, but we had a lot of budgetary issues on that show and were forced to cut the history sections entirely. I really dug these sections, and I think they would have been very cool.

UPDATED: Here are all of those script pages, from episodes 2, 4, and 7 respectively. Hope you enjoy.

the story behind victoria’s acting debut (on the haunting of hill house) is great!

thinking about how mike flanagan's first netflix series ended with the crain family together, both in death and in life

and his last netflix series ended with the entire usher bloodline 6 feet under, buried side by side (with lenore in the same row as madeline and roderick instead of the row below with frederick and the others) but no more a family in death than they were in life

the haunting of hill house and the fall of the house of usher feel very much like two sides of the same coin - a home built with love will stand for centuries, but a house built without that foundation will crumble and leave no survivors

hi mike!

i hope this reaches you well! i just watched hill house for the first time (absolutely stunning, the themes of grief resonated heavily with me) and have been hyping myself up to cry over bly manor again.

i was wondering if there’s any hope for another haunting series? bly manor and hill house are some of my favorite shows ever, and i would love to see more in that sort of genre.

(p.s. hush is what got me into horror, i just recently found out it came from YOU, so thank you for igniting a passion for me)

Hi! I'm afraid there really doesn't seem to be a path for any more Haunting series, at least with my involvement - I'm no longer at Netflix, and I'm deep into new projects that I'm incredibly excited about, and are monopolizing my availability for years.

I'll always be grateful to The Haunting - it started my career in television - but I think that chapter of my life is closed. That doesn't mean there won't ever be more - Netflix, Amblin and Paramount own the rights and could exploit them whenever they want for new adaptations, but I imagine it's highly unlikely that I'd be involved. Never say never, I suppose!

i love when a character is a ghost but in a tragic way instead of a scary way. i love when a character has been dead from the beginning but is still holding on to stay in the narrative. i love when a character could choose to resent the living but ends up loving them instead. i love when a character drives the story but isn’t quite there enough to be at the center of it. i love when the ghosts are the protectors instead of the ones causing the harm. i love when a character is at the heart of the story because depending on where you began it, no matter how you told it, the story is about the ghost who struggled to keep their humanity

I too wish to be perpetually cast as a lesbian, gay or bisexual in a project by Mike Flanagan; like to charge, reblog to cast

Say what you want but Camille Usher having ended her life with the words “fuck it, I got mine” will never not be the fucking hardest way to go out. Like Goddamn girl what a way to eat it.
