The Crains
If family trauma was a show, it would be this one. The Haunting of Hill House tells the story of the Crain siblings — Steven (Michiel Huisman), Shirley (Elizabeth Reaser), Theodora (Kate Siegel), Eleanor (Victoria Pedretti) and Luke (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) — who lost their mother Olivia (Carla Gugino) in a traumatic accident. They end up growing apart and leading separate lives, but a series of paranormal events brings them back together and back to Hill House, the home they desperately wanted to forget.

The 8 best horror series of all time
Lost voyages, haunted houses and the best scares in television history


The Haunting of Hill House’ (2018)

The Haunting of Hill House” was one of the jewels in showrunner Mike Flanagan’s recent run of horror smashes for Netflix. An adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s pioneering 1959 gothic horror novel, the two-timeline series follows a group of siblings who return to their haunted childhood home after their sister Nell (Victoria Pedretti) dies there under mysterious circumstances.

Flanagan tends to cast the same actors in multiple projects, and a large ensemble cast featuring many members of his troupe, like Kate Siegel, play the siblings and their father, Hugh (Timothy Hutton), in the present, as their quest to understand the shared tragedy in their past endangers the whole family. The “first great horror TV show ever,” it “isn’t just scary but a seriously well-structured and well-considered story about the persistent insidiousness of trauma,” said Tom Philip at GQ. (Netflix)
