It’s just past three in the morning and we have officially finished The @Haunting of Hill House.
It’s tremendous and I cried a lot. Be brave and watch it because it is such a fantastic tale that is worth being afraid of the dark for, like, a week. pic.twitter.com/Z23YXzUgOw— Miles Luna (@TheMilesLuna) 20 October 2018

The Haunting of Hill House, created by Gerald's Game director Mike Flanagan, is a modern reimagining of Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel of the same name. Flashing between the past and the present, the series follows five siblings who grew up in the most famous haunted house in America.
As adults, they’re reunited once more after the death of their youngest sister, which forces them to finally confront the ghosts of their pasts – some metaphorical, some perhaps literal.
The series stars Michael Huisman, Carla Gugino, Timothy Hutton, Elizabeth Reaser, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel, and Victoria Pedretti.
The Haunting of Hill House is out on Netflix now.
