The sequel of Haunting of Hill House will be scarier

The Haunting of Bly Manor is based on Henry James's 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw. According to the story a governess is appointed to take care of two kids Miles and Flora, who recently lost their parents. After a while, she starts to see ghostly figures in the house. In an interview, Flanagan said that “The most exciting thing about 'Bly Manor', for me, is in the way that we got to expand on the Shirley Jackson universe in season one. While season two is inspired mostly by 'The Turn of the Screw', which has been adapted so many times, we were also able to mine the rest of Henry James's ghost stories to fill out the season.” 

He further added, “Even if you know 'The Turn of the Screw' really well, and a lot of people do there's a new 'Turn of the Screw' movie coming out in like January. They come out every three months, whether you need it or not," Flanagan told Digital Spy. He said creating the second season has been a great journey.”
