One of today’s top directors of horror features, Mike Flanagan (GERALD’S GAME, HUSH, OCULUS) now turns to streaming series with THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, coming to Netflix this month. He takes us behind the scenes in a newly released video.
What do you get when the director of one of the best recent Stephen King adaptations tackles an older horror classic? THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, the Netflix series debuting next month. Jump past the jump to check out the new trailer, along with the poster.

Over the past several years, director Mike Flanagan has been building an impressive body of genre work that often focuses on domestic trauma. Sadly, his 2013 production BEFORE I WAKE fell victim to Relativity Media’s financial troubles, but it’s now available on Netflix and well worth a watch.
