The Haunting of Hill House is a 1959 gothic horror novel by American author Shirley Jackson. It was a finalist for the National Book Award and has been made into two feature films ( The Haunting , directed by Robert Wise , and its remake ), a play, and is the basis of a Netflix series .
The story was loosely adapted as The Haunting of Morella (1990), directed by Jim Wynorski. Along with many other Poe stories, "Morella" was adapted into the Netflix miniseries The Fall of the House of Usher. In this version, Morella becomes bedridden after an accident involving acid sprinklers.
In her novels The Haunting of Hill House and, to a lesser extent, The Sundial, this theme is also central to the psychology of the story. In all these works, the main characters live in a house that stands alone on many acres, and is entirely separate physically, socially, as well as ideologically, from the main inhabitants of the town.
The Haunting of Hill House received critical acclaim, particularly for its acting, directing, and production values. A follow-up series by Flanagan titled The Haunting of Bly Manor , with most of the same crew and some of the same cast but a different story and characters, was released on October 9, 2020.
In “The Deliverance,” Ebony’s youngest son, Andre (Anthony B. Jenkins), shows signs of demon possession first, followed by older siblings Nate (Caleb McLaughlin) and Shante (Demi Singleton).
