Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for The Haunting of Hill House, a series adaptation of the 1959 Shirley Jackson horror classic.
A modern reimagining of the novel, The Haunting of Hill House follows the Crains, five siblings who grew up in Hill House, “the most haunted house in America,” and who, after the death of a family member, are forced to return to Hill House and confront the ghosts inside both Hill House and their own minds.
The series was created, directed and executive produced by horror director Mike Flanagan—whose Stephen King adaptation Gerald’s Game came out on Netflix last year, and who is also set to direct Doctor Sleep, the sequel to King’s The Shining—and the results of his work on the new series are impressive. The trailer flexes some serious production value, showing off all of the well-appointed gothic details of the house that so fully occupies the Crains’ lives and minds.
