Mike Flanagan’s brand of horror is emotionally pervasive in the best way imaginable. This is evident in his storytelling masterpiece The Haunting of Hill House, a series loosely based on a novel by Shirley Jackson.
Hill House serves as the first season of an anthology; the next installment is The Haunting of Bly Manor. But for those viewers who felt so impacted by Hill House and are still looking for other horrors that can touch them on a personal level, then catch sight of these recommendations. Below are ten television series that evoke feelings similar to those in The Haunting of Hill House.
Updated on December 31st, 2020 by Scoot Allan: As Mike Flanagan’s horror credentials continue to grow following the release of the next chapter in his Netflix horror anthology alongside terrifying films like Doctor Sleep, his fans are left searching for a new horror series to fill their time between projects. The horror genre is in a very successful era which results in a number of fantastic horror series that fans of The Haunting of Hill House should definitely explore further, ranging from long-running TV shows that continue to terrify viewers to recent streaming hits that deserve to be seen by more horror fans.
15 The Haunting of Bly Manor
Flanagan’s The Haunting franchise expanded in 2020 with The Haunting of Bly Manor, which featured much of the same cast and crew from The Haunting of Hill House in a loose adaptation of Henry James’ work, including The Turn of the Screw.
The story follows an American au pair who comes to live in a British manor to take care of two children, though she soon begins to learn about the dark secrets of Bly Manor in a worthy successor to the original hit Netflix series.
14 Marianne
Another terrifying Netflix series that horror fans should check out immediately is 2019’s Marianne, a French horror series that follows a young writer who vows to be down with horror, though she soon discovers that horror isn’t quite done with her.
Emma (played by Victoire Du Bois) returns home to explore her past while she deals with the horrors from her stories made real. The series is filled with homages to classic horror films while utilizing newfound tricks of the trade to create an effectively spooky series that just might revisit you in your nightmares.
13 Lovecraft Country
The Haunting of Hill House succeeded by creating a largely original story using a classic literal work, which is something Lovecraft Country (based on Matt Ruff’s book of the same name) did well by using classic Lovecraftian stories and monsters to explore racism in 1950s America.
The series followed Atticus Freeman (played by Jonathan Majors) as he travels across the country in search of his father with Jurnee Smollet’s Leticia and Courtney B. Vance’s Uncle George as they survived Eldritch horrors and Jim Crow-era America.
12 Castle Rock
Hulu’s Castle Rock series was set in the connected world of Stephen King and explored a number of characters and storylines in the fictional town from the master of horror’s huge literary catalog, which was planned as an anthology series.
The first season blended a number of different stories to tell an original story, while the second season introduced Lizzy Caplan as Annie Wilkes, the psychopathic nurse and literary super fan from Stephen King’s hit novel Misery as she finds herself in the Maine town of Castle Rock.
11 American Horror Story
Another horror anthology series that has explored similar elements as The Haunting of Hill House is American Horror Story, the long-running hit FX show from Ryan Murphy that launched with a demonic haunted house story that has featured in later seasons.
The series features quite a few returning cast members who take on new roles as each season explores a new trope of horror that range from twisted hospitals in Asylum to feuding witches in Coven and even classic slashers in 1984, with a tenth season on the way for new fans to work towards.
10 Dead of Summer
In a Midwestern summer camp during the late 1980s, a diverse group of teens signs up for some sun and fun. What should have been an unforgettable summer for these counselors is soon turned into a deadly one, though. Camp Stillwater houses a dark, lurking secret waiting to be set free.
When Dead of Summer started, audiences expected a garden-variety slasher akin to MTV’s Scream. What they actually got was much better and more original. The characters’ backgrounds are explored in conjunction with the overarching story and the big twist is game-changing. Dead of Summer is the kind of stirring, coming-of-age horror that deserves a bigger audience.
9 The Returned
The lives of people in a small town are turned upside down when those presumed to be dead reappear without logical explanation. They’re not zombies, and they haven’t aged a day either. They also don’t know why they’ve returned, or if this is all merely temporary.
This series is an English-language remake of the French show Les Revenants, which in itself is a spin-off of the 2004 movie of the same name. This adaptation fared rather well with critics, but A&E canceled the series after one season. Nevertheless, The Returned is a carefully plotted and somber series.
8 The Enfield Haunting
The year is 1977. A family living in a council house in Enfield, North London experiences a series of unexplained, frightening incidents. A grieving investigator named Guy Lyon Playfair looks into the situation, which he initially writes off as a scam. The more he examines the evidence, the more Playfair believes the house is being haunted by a malevolent spirit.
The infamous Enfield Poltergeist was a real-life claim of paranormal phenomena. It’s been the subject of some movies for decades. Whether or not there’s any validity to the haunting isn’t entirely important. This 2015 miniseries is assuredly well-acted and produced.
7 You
Beck is a struggling grad student who doesn’t realize she’s being stalked. Joe is a deceptively mild-mannered bookstore clerk who is enamored with Beck. Or rather, he’s obsessed with the idea of Beck. In time, Joe inserts himself into his victim’s life with her being none the wiser.
You went unnoticed when it aired on Lifetime, but its subsequent Netflix run sealed its fate as the perfect water cooler thriller. It’s an uncomfortable drama soaked in tension; audiences can’t always guess what’s about to happen. In the end, You is both an unpleasant and rewarding suspenser that dissects the warped mind of evil hiding in plain sight.
6 Room 104
Over the years, many visitors have stayed in room 104 at a small American motel. The decor and fixtures change, but the stories remain intriguing and personal. Creators Mark Duplass and his brother Jay brought the traditional anthology format back to HBO, home of Tales from the Crypt.
In Room 104, we dive deeply into the psyches of various guests. The intimate inner workings of these characters are put on full display for audiences to behold. Room 104 dabbles in all genres, including horror and suspense. Yet in the end, the categories don’t matter. The writers can conceive terror just as well as incredible poignancy.
5 Inside No. 9
This anthology series explores various tales of the unusual. Each story takes place inside buildings marked in some way with the number nine, and the genres range from dark comedy to horror. Usually, the creators — Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton — star in every episode.
Inside No. 9 is a marvelous anthology that tackles many genres. It has humor and thrills in spades, but there are dramatic episodes that will tug at your heart, too. One particular one called “The 12 Days of Christine” is especially gut-wrenching. While not overtly supernatural, the episode is heart-rending in the same way The Haunting of Hill House is.
4 Dark
The disappearance of two children in a small German town sets off a mystery. In turn, the secrets of four families — as well as the town itself — are exposed as the search for the missing kids endures.
Initially, the German series Dark was likened to Stranger Things in reviews. As people watched more of the series, they realized Dark was in fact less about nostalgia and more about probing the lives of flawed people. In addition, critics found the show to be more similar to Twin Peaks. Dark is slated for a third and final season.
3 The Terror
In the first season, the Royal Navy enters uncharted territory during their pursuit of the Northwest Passage. Once they are stranded, they encounter a horrifying and ancient entity. The second season — subtitled Infamy — follows the paranormal events taking place inside a WWII internment camp.
The Terror is a model example of how to pull off pensive period horror. The first season is based on Dan Simmon’s 2007 novel The Terror, but Infamy stems from an original concept. Both seasons incite horror by being crafty and taking the long route. The scares are less jumpy and more measured.
2 Twin Peaks
The tragic loss of a teenager in the logging community of Twin Peaks affects everyone. From her parents and friends to people who didn’t realize they knew her. When an FBI special agent is called in to investigate the victim’s murder, he then uncovers a web of lies and secrets tied to the teen’s death.
David Lynch’s Twin Peaks is the definition of a cult television show. It was originally canceled after two seasons, but this mystery series has stayed relevant for nearly three decades thanks to devoted fans. A revival in 2017 was met with positive reviews, too.
1 Channel Zero
In this seasonal anthology series based on creepy stories originating online, different casts of characters come across unspeakable evils. In Candle Cove, a children’s show could be connected to one man’s brother’s disappearance in the first season. A group of young people’s lives is forever changed after visiting a haunted attraction in the second season’s No-End House.
Sisters investigate a series of disappearances in the third season’s Butcher’s Block and newlyweds discover a secret door in their new home in season four’s The Dream Door. Channel Zero surpassed all expectations when it was announced Syfy was producing a show inspired by creepypasta. It became one of the most dramatic and heady horrors to grace cable television in ages.
