Although it’s only in the early stages, Netflix is developing a series based on Shirley Jackson’s horror novel “The Haunting of Hill House”.
The series is described as a modern retelling of Jackson’s novel. The novel, which is widely considered one of the best horror stories of the 20th century, follows four people as they spend a summer in a rented mansion. They soon begin to experience a wide range of supernatural phenomena. It was previously adapted into a feature film in both 1963 and 1999.
The plan is to produce 10 episodes which come from writer/director Mike Flanagan. The creator is no stranger to horror with his previous credits including Oculus, Hush & Ouija: Origin of Evil.
