RELATED STORIES

Warning: This post contains major spoilers from The Haunting of Bly Manor.

When the role of Bly Manor housekeeper Hannah Grose first came to T’Nia Miller‘s attention, she’d never watched The Haunting of Hill House. And nothing about Hannah, who is introduced as a demure, maternal presence early on in the Hill House follow-up The Haunting of Bly Manor, felt particularly exciting to the Sex Education actress.

“She was very nice, and I thought, ‘This is not really my kind of role,’” Miller tells TVLine. Still, she cued up Hill House in preparation for putting an audition on tape.. and wound up watching five episodes back-to-back. “Oh my God, I was blown away!” When she eventually made it through to the end of Mike Flanagan’s 2018 sleeper hit, “I was sobbing like a bitch,” she says, breaking into a loud laugh.

Little did Miller know, that very nice character would become one of the most tragic figures in the anthology’s second installment: In Episode 5, the audience learns that Hannah was killed during the events of Episode 1… though it takes her ghost a while to realize that she’s no longer among the living. And that makes her slow-motion love story with Rahul Kohli’s Owen all the sadder.

When TVLine chatted with Miller via Zoom, the conversation quickly turned to how even she didn’t know about Mrs. Grose’s big secret until she read that script. (And don’t worry: We got her to tell us what transpired in that whisper at the end of Episode 3.)

the-haunting-of-bly-manor-hannah-whispers-to-owen-episode-3-tnia-miller-interviewTVLINE | So you read Episode 5 and you’re like, “Oh, hey, I’ve been dead this whole time.”
Right? I know.

TVLINE | It’s so interesting to me that they didn’t think that was something that you needed to know ahead of time.
Mike [Flanagan] really is cheeky. He’s a cheeky bugger. He’s great. I love his sense of play and adventure… He’s a flirt. He’s a flirt with these scripts. He is teasing you and getting you all riled up and then, you’re like, “Oh.” That’s how he delivers. [Laughs] Not in that way! Oh, s–t. [Laughs]

TVLINE | There’s a logic to the ghosts at Bly Manor: They can’t leave the grounds, they can’t really touch things, they don’t change their clothes. Except Hannah is in a new, fabulous ensemble with amazing earrings every tie we see her, and she’s clearly doing things around the house. What do you think it is about her that a) she didn’t realize what had happened to her, and b) she was able to buck the trend?
I think it’s that real sense of the patriarch we actually have created, where women, especially modern women, we work, as well as we’re mothers. We have a career. We are so driven that we don’t often have time to think of ourselves… I know that’s treachery, because I have children of my own. And I think it’s just sheer will and determination that, no, [Miles and Flora are] not her children, but as far as she’s concerned, they are her children. This is her family, and she’s like a lioness. She will fight to the death, literally, Hannah, goes there for these kids.

And that’s just that determination, that strong will, that fierce loyalty and protectiveness over her family. And that [includes] Owen the chef, Jamie the gardener, and anyone who comes into that. You could be there for two minutes or have been there for 10 years. Once you’re a part of her inner circle, she’s fighting for you, and it’s that determination that allows her to have a physical manifestation to be able to doand to touch things in the real world and imagine what outfit she’s going to wear that day. [Laughs as she gestures to the very awesome earrings she’s wearing] You can tell, I love a big earring, as well.

The Haunting of Bly Manor Hannah Whispers Owen Episode 3 Tnia Miller InterviewTVLINE | Owen and Hanna have such a lovely bond and such a sad, unrealized love story. First, I’m going to bug you to tell me what you whispered in his ear before he gets in the car after his mom died.
I can’t remember! [Laughs] It was something like, something cheesy, like “She’ll always be there,” or “I’m here. It’s all right. I’ve got you.” Something to those terms.

And [Rahul Kohli] said something really cheesy, as well. It had nothing to do with the text but something that’s really, probably really annoying, really dirty and annoying and sexual, dealing with a corpse. [Laughs] I can’t remember what it was.

TVLINE | When Hannah is tucked away in the memory of the day she interviewed Owen, he speaks quite sharply to her — though, obviously, this is all taking place in her head and is therefore her yelling at herself. Why do you think her mind chose him to be the one to snap her out of her denial?
It’s her. It’s her voice… It’s not as easy for her to sit in that place of denial, and I think it’s the same thing with age. You know, as we get older, our feelings and our ghosts will haunt us, which is why people have midlife crises, because they’re going through that and they’re, “Oh, s–t, I’ve got to look at myself and deal with myself.” And I think [that moment] is Hannah’s midlife crisis. He represents her place of comfort and security and love. And my god, does she love him, but she’s so scared.

TVLINE | Obviously this is incredibly hypothetical, but if she hadn’t died, do you think she could ever have made that jump and gone to Paris with him?
I do, because in her mind, she’s not dead — although she’s going through all that kind of stuff. And you know, would she have had the realization? It’s a hard one.

The Haunting of Bly Manor Hannah Whispers Owen Episode 3 Tnia Miller InterviewTVLINE | During the season, we learn that Hannah broke her neck when Peter-as-Miles pushed her down into the well. And throughout the episodes, you have her touching her neck absentmindedly. Was all of that scripted? Were you given free reign to put it into a scene?
Exactly. I have to say I wish that I came up with that, but it wasn’t me; it was Mike’s genius prank.

RELATED STORIES

Warning: This post contains spoilers from The Haunting of Bly Manor. 

If the Haunting anthology has a heroine, it’s Victoria Pedretti.

In The Haunting of Hill House, Pedretti played Nell, the youngest Crain child-turned-horrifying spectre. In the second part of Mike Flanagan’s Netflix series, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Pedretti is Dani, a nanny whose life is forever changed after she takes a job at a haunted British manor home.

Throughout the season, Dani is tortured by visions of a man with bright lights where his eyes should be. We eventually learn that the man is Edmund, the fiancé Dani broke up with after she realized that she was gay. Unfortunately for both of them, Edmund was hit by a car and killed moments after Dani ended their engagement; the lights in his eyes are a reflection in his glasses from the truck that struck him down.

Eventually, Dani overcomes her guilt about Edmund, falls in love with the house’s gardener Jamie and makes a bold move that frees Bly Manor from the hauntings that have plagued it for centuries. (For all the details, read a finale recap here.)

TVLine got Pedretti on the phone to discuss the season, which she explains may make you a “little bit nauseous” — and why that’s a good thing.

The Haunting of Bly Manor Victoria Pedretti Interview Dani ClaytonTVLINE | There seems to be a dichotomy in Dani, who is undone by seeing Edmund in the mirror but also goes after Peter Quint with a fireplace poker. Talk to me about when she feels empowered to act, and when she doesn’t.
Certainly. Her ability to feel empowered, and the sense of duty in especially protective things that she does, is for the sake of the protection of these children. She really believes in the innocence of children, and the need to create a safe environment for them to deal with their feelings, and learn about themselves, and how to take care of themselves, even, and how to advocate for themselves and their needs.

And anything that might get in the way of that, she’s a fierce opponent of. But when it comes to the way she sees herself, I think she struggles with offering herself the same sense of deserving, in terms of having a safe and loving environment to learn about herself and what she needs. She deprives herself of that because of the things that she’s done that she [thinks] make her not deserving of that anymore.

TVLINE | She also has this very delicate love story that unfolds in the middle of chaos. What do you think draws her and Jamie together so quickly?
I think it’s the level of true compassion and lack of judgment they show each other. Jamie leads with really having strong boundaries that she asserts. She doesn’t want to be f–ked with. She doesn’t need drama, you know? She’s had that in her life, and she’s found thisnew, deep peace with her plants and whatnot, and as she says, she likes her life boring.

the-haunting-of-bly-manor-finale-recap-And that is ultimately what Dani wants as well, but she’s caught up in this dramatic story in her mind: that she did something so horrible that she’s now tainted, and if she ever truly reveals herself, she will be rejected and seen for the monster that she sees herself as.

But Jamie forces her into being, like, no bullshit. Like, we’re open with how we feel and how it’s going to be, and we come to it with what we’ve got and how we’re ready, and we’re going to take it day by day. But we’re not jumping into this like Quint and Bex, being like, “We’re soul mates, and we need to sacrifice all this for each other.” [Laughs] Both of them have sacrificed enough at this point, you know?

That’s what’s special about it. What’s not special about it is that within all of the chaos, they find peace and love. I mean, I think that’s a very true to life. Within all the s–t, we can stand together and offer each other solace and comfort and love, and that’s what they do.

TVLINE | When you were just talking about how Dani thinks of herself as a monster, it made me think about how there are some interpretations of The Turn of the Screw — which is told from the nanny’s point of view — that see her as someone who is really not mentally OK and who is seeing things that aren’t actually there. Was that idea ever a part of the character or conversations you had with anyone about the character?
I mean, other than the ways in which it is evident in the script, no. She certainly has things that she has in common [with the book’s narrator], and there are things that she doesn’t. Yeah, I left them in the novel.

TVLINE | Have you watched the season yet?
Yes.

TVLINE | Were there any moments that rattled you when you were watching?
Rattled in what way?

TVLINE | Scared you? Made you jump?
I don’t know. It was a little while ago. Yeah, I mean, I get what people are saying about [the show having] that sense of dread, less than it’s outright scary, and more that it makes you, like, a little bit nauseous. Like, not to the point you’re going to, like, do anything about it. [Laughs] You’re not like, I need to stop watching this, and lay down and have some chicken soup. It didn’t, like, actually make you sick. It’s just that little slight nausea.

TVLINE | Between Nell and Dani, which was harder — in any interpretation of that word that you like.
Dani, a hundred percent. The turning point she is at her life is something really difficult that we all confront. It’s like, who are you going to be now? And living through that journey is really… I’m going through it kind of simultaneously. I’m also 25. We’re going through similar s–t. And it was more physically rigorous. The first season, I was nervous about f–king up completely. Now, every opportunity I have to work, I hold myself to this, like, this standard of not necessarily wanting to just do it, but to somehow exceed my expectations, and to keep growing as an actor, and to be better.

And with so much opportunity and responsibility, I was taking that really seriously. Having different directors added to the stress. Being in a country that I don’t know the culture was stressful. There were a lot of reasons that this season was a lot more challenging. The first season, we had nine months to shoot it. This season, we were trying to accomplish something comparable in far less time.

So, yeah, this one was certainly rougher. And Nell, as stressed as she was, wasn’t putting up any fronts at the point when we were meeting her. She wore her heart on her sleeve. The same can’t be true about Dani. There’s something additionally exhausting on playing the façade, especially somebody as bouncy, and energized, and anxious as this person is.

Joe Goldberg, meet your next obsession.

YOU has tapped Haunting of Hill House breakout Victoria Pedretti to join Season 2 as the Netflix series’ new female lead, TVLine has learned. The actress — spoiler alert! — fills the void left by Elizabeth Lail, whose Beck died at the hands of Penn Badgley’s psycho-stalker Joe in the Season 1 finale.

Pedretti’s character, Love Quinn, is an aspiring chef who’s working as a produce manager in a high-end grocery store. Unlike her predecessor, she is uninterested in the world of social media, branding and self-promotion, focused instead on leading an interesting life. She is also tending to a deep grief — and when she meets Joe, she senses a shared knowledge of profound, life-changing loss.

On Hill House, Pedretti played ill-fated Crain family member Nell, whose tragic Season 1 death served as the centerpiece of 2018’s single best dramatic episode of TV.

Her casting on YOU comes as the failed Lifetime series has emerged as bonafide smash since moving to Netflix. According to data released earlier this month by Netflix, the show’s first season is “on track to be viewed by more than 40 million members in its first four weeks” on the streamer.

Production on Season 2 begins next month and is set to premiere later this year.

The aftermath of the tragic house collapse that saw at least 31 people lose their lives has been captured in startling drone footage, as rescue workers scramble to find survivors.

The devastating gas explosion rendered the 10-story residential building in Russia’s Urals to rubble on New Years Eve morning.

Four children died in the accident and residents are still missing. Six people have been rescued from the rubble, including an 11-month-old boy.

The video shows what looks like a scene from a war zone. A massive pile of rubble stands in the gap where the building once stood.

A wall of different coloured wallpaper is all that remains of the scores of apartments blown up in the explosion.

The haunting footage was filmed by Artyom Ibragimov who said he brought his drone to the site of the explosion when he heard the news.

They captivated Kolbert’s grandfather so much that when he immigrated to the United States, he took his kids out West for vacations. Later, Kolbert’s mother did the same.

As a child living in Westchester, New York, Kolbert dreamed of moving out West and having adventures of her own. She ended up mostly staying put in and around New England, but her job as a journalist helped fulfill her love of adventure, allowing her to spend much of her time following field scientists around remote locations.

I recently spoke with Kolbert about her dreams of going out West and her tendency to imagine alternative lives for herself. This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for length and clarity.

Lola Fadulu: When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Elizabeth Kolbert: I didn’t have a clear plan. I’m going to be quite frank: I wanted to move out West. That’s what I wanted to do when I was a kid. I was going to go out West and do something, but I never got west of Albany.

Fadulu: Why did you want to go out West?

Kolbert: My parents took us out West in the summer a bunch of times, and I thought it was great. We used to go to Rocky Mountain National Park.

My grandfather was a refugee from Nazi Germany, but he had, as a kid, read these Westerns by a guy named Karl May. They’re very, very famous in Germany, and they are adventure stories set in the American West. When he immigrated to the U.S., he took his kids—my mother and her sister—out West to sort of live out these adventures he’d read as a kid. And then it obviously made a big impression on my mom, and then she took us. And so that was the background to these trips. And as I say, they did make a big impression on me and I thought I, too, should go have adventures out West.  

Fadulu: What did your parents do?

Kolbert: My dad was a doctor, an eye doctor. And my mom, throughout much of my childhood, was a stay-at-home mom, very active in local politics, on the school board, things like that.

Fadulu: Did they have a career path in mind for you?

Kolbert: They were not at all prescriptive in that way. I think my dad would’ve been happy if I had been interested in medicine. One summer when I was in high school he did arrange for me to have an internship, I guess you’d call it, at the hospital where he worked, and I proceeded to contaminate a lot of the equipment. I think it became clear pretty early on that [medicine] was not going to pan out.

Fadulu: How would you describe your younger self?

Kolbert: I grew up in the ’60s and ’70s, and I was probably very much a product of the time, of rebelling against, to a certain extent, what seemed to be the conventionality and 9-to-5-ism of suburban life.

Fadulu: There was something about suburban life that just didn’t feel like it was for you.

Kolbert: Well, it wasn’t just suburbia. It was really more the sense that you were just going to … just tick off certain things. Do X, do Y, and then find yourself following a path that everyone had already followed before and that had been laid out for you before. That was very much part of the zeitgeist, and I definitely absorbed that. I didn’t want to just go off and work for some corporation, work for some institution and be subsumed in that.

Fadulu: Do you feel you’ve followed a path?

Kolbert: Well, as it turned out I did sort of follow a path, but it was not a path I knew about as a kid.

This is what happened: I studied German literature in college, and I thought I might go on and study German literature. I got a fellowship to go to Germany, and I very quickly decided that [becoming an academic] was not what I was going to do. I was kind of bumming around Europe, and I tried my hand at writing things.

I’d worked on the high-school paper; I’d worked on the college paper. I’ve always been attracted to journalism. And I wrote a bunch of stuff that actually made it into the travel section of The New York Times. And then I came back and got a really entry-level job.

This was a different era when, at the Times, there was a very clear path. You got a clerical job. You were not even a secretary; you were called a clerk or a copy person. Copy person was a term left over from the days when Times reporters would type stories on sheets of carbon paper. And then you would rip out—it was called a “take.” You’d rip out one take, which is basically one page, one sheet of carbon paper, and you’d yell, “Copy.” And the copy person would come take it from you, and then distribute these copies to the editors to lay out or whatever.

And by the time I arrived at the Times that system had long been gone, but you were still called a copy person. I arrived at a big transitional moment for journalism—not as transitional as the moment now, but that moment where everything was being computerized and all that.

And there was a path that you could take. You could be one of these clerks and copy people, and if you wrote furiously—and, basically, it meant spending 24 hours a day at the Times—you could get pieces in.

This was the mid-’80s. The front section on Sunday was divided into two sections, and in the second section was this place that they had ads. They basically just needed copy to go around the ad.

[The wisdom of going back to school in retirement]

And so you would write these un-bylined stories, and if the editors liked them, essentially, they would actually hire you as a reporter. So that is how I became a journalist.

Fadulu: What do you think of career planning?

Kolbert: I went through much of my youth thinking a lot of things were equally interesting to me, and I was equally untalented in a lot of them. And so part of it was this process of trial and error, really, of trying to find something that I was interested in and also had enough ability to pursue. I play the clarinet, and it was very clear early on that I had no talent, but in some life I would’ve been a concert clarinetist. I still, even now, am afflicted by imagining alternative lives.

Obviously, there are 7.6 billion people on the planet, and they’re all leading different lives. And I’ve always found that a very fascinating and daunting fact. Why are you you? Why were you you? You happened to be born a certain person, but that seems really accidental. Could you become someone else? Could you have led a different life? Could you still lead a different life?

Fadulu: Are there any experiences that you particularly wish you’d had, or are just really curious about?

Kolbert: I guess it does get back to “Should I have gone out West and become a cowgirl?” or whatever. Some of the most intense experiences I’ve had have been out in really remote places, and I guess that’s a way of living that I sometimes wonder whether I should’ve pursued.

Fadulu: What sort of job do you think you would’ve had if you’d worked in a remote place?

Kolbert: I’ve been out with a lot of field scientists now. I’m not a field scientist; that’s not my temperament, and I don’t have quite enough patience for that kind of work. But I’ve always been filled with admiration for those people, and those are some of the greatest experiences I’ve had, being out in the field with these people in places where no one else was. We were the only people out there.

Fadulu: It seems like in journalism, because you’re out in the field and talking to so many different types of people, you’re kind of living different lives. Do you feel that way?

Kolbert: Yes, absolutely. And I think it’s also for people like me, who are interested in a lot of things but not absolutely committed to any particular vision of life. As you say, it does allow you to, if not exactly lead alternate lives, to have a glimpse into them and to always be doing something new.

I’m really, really grateful that I have been able to, if not actually lead multiple lives, chronicle multiple lives.

Mike Flanagan‘s wonderful Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House has plenty of ghosts front-and-center. But there are even more specters hidden in the background. Flanagan has confirmed that there are hidden ghosts in almost every single episode of the series, and now, a video put together by IMDb has managed to spot 43 of them. You could say these hiding ghosts were…busted. (I’m sorry). Watch the Haunting of Hill House hidden ghosts video below. If you have yet to see the show yet, beware of possible spoilers.

Haunting of Hill House Hidden Ghosts

Did you spot the hidden ghosts peppered throughout The Haunting of Hill House? Some are very obvious – you see them peeking out of windows, or standing directly behind characters. But some are better hidden – more elusive, harder to spot, tucked away in the corner of the frame. Thankfully, this IMDb video is here to help. The makers of this video go so far as to say they’ve highlighted every hidden ghost in the series. That’s a pretty bold claim, but as they’ve managed to find 43 ghosts in total, they might be right. Perhaps Mike Flanagan will weigh-in at some point to confirm.

Some qualms here: while it’s fun to see all the spooks and specters highlighted, IMDb chose to score the entire video with some very goofy music that’s a bit distracting. They also count one ghost twice, and they highlight a ghost who isn’t hidden at all, because a character on screen reacts to it. So really, this should be called 41 Hidden Ghosts You Missed In The Haunting of Hill House.

Those complaints aside, I love this. It demonstrates the lengths director Mike Flanagan went to to make Hill House extra spooky. Even if you don’t notice the hidden ghosts, your eyes might register something out of place on the screen, which only heightens the creepiness subliminally. It’s a neat trick, and I imagine more horror filmmakers are going to start trying it going forward.

The Haunting of Hill House is a modern reimagining of Shirley Jackson’s legendary novel of the same name, about five siblings who grew up in the most famous hauntedhouse in America. Now adults, they’re reunited by the suicide of their youngest sister, which forces them to finally confront the ghosts of their own pasts… some which lurk in their minds… and some which may really be lurking in the shadows of the iconic Hill House.

Got lost in Hill House the first time around? It happens.

After all, Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House is made to captivate, to suck you in and to disorient you — the same way the hellish home does to the Crain family over decades.

By now, (we assume) you’ve made it all the way from the series premiere to the Season 1 finale. That mean’s it’s time to go back and focus on some of of the deliciously devilish details writer/director Mike Flanagan sprinkled over all 10 episodes like rain — or confetti.

Don’t be afraid: We’ve made you a guide.

The gallery at right contains 10 moments — in no particular order — we think you might want to give a second look during your inevitable rewatch. Some are insidiously scary. Others are just plain silly. One of them might have made us pee a little. All of them bear more scrutiny (we mean, those hidden ghosts alone are enough to keep us up at night).  Also, a note of warning: The gallery covers the full first season, so there are spoilers within.

The Haunting of Hill House is a modern reimagining of Shirley Jackson’s novel of the same name and follows five siblings who grew up in “the most famous” haunted house in America.

Now adults, they’re reunited by the suicide of their youngest sister, which forces them to finally confront the ghosts of their own pasts throughout the 10-part Netflix series.

All of the siblings will explore the “ghosts in their minds”, along with ghosts lurking in the house.

Flashing between past and present, the fractured family will be seen to confront haunting memories of their old home and the terrifying events that drove them from it.

But will The Haunting of Hill House series fully conclude and give fans all of the answers they want?

Could the ending open up to potential further seasons for expectant fans to anticipate?

Actor Henry Thomas exclusively told Express.co.uk and other press: “Netflix is a great platform for this.

“Rather than compressing everything into an hour and a half where you have to sacrifice a lot of character development and good little bits. This is there for you if you choose to dig in.”

Theodora star Kate Siegel added: “Absolutely, I would run back to that family. I would hope that we would haunt somewhere,” as Henry teased: “More tropical!”

Kate gleamed: “Exactly! The Haunting of the Four Seasons Maui!”

Luke Crane actor Oliver Jackson-Cohen said: “It’ll be interesting to see what Mike and Netflix and Paramount, what they all decide to do.

“There’s millions of different options, they could continue on and have it a couple of years on and how the remaining Cranes are dealing with it.

“They could go back and tell the story of the Hills at Hill House, they could do an anthology.

“There’s so many options that they can toy with here which I think makes it so exciting to be part of a show like this.”

Steven Crane star Michiel Huisman teased a possible future storyline for the show involving his character.

He said: “We could go back to the house and I’m the gatekeeper of the house, maybe. Or we could do more of an anthology. I like that, so put that in there.

“I have no idea, if we were ever to make a season two what that would look like. I’m up for anything.

“This could be more, for me. But that really depends on the audience; if it’s going to be successful or not, if people like it.

Netflix’s 10-episode series adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s horror novel started streaming on Friday and soon revealed itself as a complex family drama merged with a ripping good ghost story. In a moment, we’ll want to know what you thought of the premiere. But first, a recap:

The Haunting of Hill House Recap Season 1 Episode 1 NetflixWe’re introduced to the Crains via flashback: Salt-of-the-earth dad Hugh (E.T.‘s Henry Thomas) and free-spirit mom Olivia (Wayward Pines‘ Carla Gugino) have moved their five kids into a huge, old mansion called Hill House for the summer while Hugh and Olivia do the work necessary to flip the property. But right away, we learn that the place creeps out the kids: Young Nell cries out in the night when she thinks she sees “the bent-neck lady,” and both Hugh and older brother Steven assure her that there’s no such entity. But as we see after Nell is tucked back in bed, Steve and Hugh might not be so right about that.

As the episode progresses, we get a taste of what the Crains’ life was like that summer. The kids — there’s also Nell’s twin, Luke, as well as older girls Theo and Shirley — are left to roam the house and grounds while their parents spruce up the property. The children encounter a bunch of mysteries (Luke has an imaginary friend he swears is real, Nell and Shirley are desperate to find the key to the mysterious and locked “red room” at the top of the stairs); the severely Christian groundskeeper’s wife (played by The X-Files‘ Annabeth Gish), who refuses to be in the house after dark, hints that there’s more going on than anybody realizes.

Then all of a sudden, Hugh steals into Steven’s room one night and frantically tells him they’ve got to get out of there. The boy is freaked out by his father’s panic, then even more freaked out when an unseen person (?) unsuccessfully tries to get into the bedroom. Eventually Hugh makes his son promise to keep his eyes closed, then carries him out to the car where his equally terrified siblings are waiting. The kids quickly notice that Olivia’s not there… and Hugh doesn’t have a great answer for why that is.

Fast-forward several decades, and Steven (played as an adult by Game of Thrones‘ Michiel Huisman) is now a bestselling author who’s built his career on writing about Hill House and other so-called “haunted” places — much to the chagrin of some of his siblings, who feel he’s capitalized on their mother’s suicide and father’s subsequent emotional problems.

The Haunting of Hill House Recap Season 1 Episode 1As Steven interviews a potential subject for a new book — a widow who is convinced her dead husband hovers over her bed at night — he ignores a call from Nell. So does Shirley, who’s now a funeral-home owner (and played by Twilight‘s Elizabeth Reaser); when Shirley listens to her voicemail, her little sister sounds agitated and says that’s she worried about Luke (now Emerald City‘s Oliver Jackson-Cohen), who is in rehab. (For completion’s sake, Theo — now played by Gerald’s Game‘s Kate Siegel — is a lesbian with strongly staked emotional boundaries and a penchant for wearing gloves.)

Nell also calls her dad (now played by Leverage‘s Timothy Hutton), telling him she’s in Los Angeles. But as we see, she’s actually back at Hill House in Massachusetts. As she prepares to walk in, all the lights in the abandoned property turn on.

Despite what Nell says, Hugh has a sense something is wrong. While he’s on route to the house, we watch Nell waltz around the empty home, seemingly in a trace. Then, at 3:02 am Eastern Time, every Crain sibling wakes from a nightmare. “Nellie’s in the red room,” Shirley mutters without realizing what she’s saying.

Steven later returns home to find Luke stealing from him, ostensibly for drug money; Steven’s disappointment in his brother is so ingrained, he barely gets angry. After Luke leaves, Steven is surprised to find Nell standing in his apartment, and he’s angry that she just watched Luke rob him without trying to stop her twin. Nell says nothing, and Steven angrily turns away to take a call from his father.

Hugh says he’s at Hill House. Nell is there, too. And she’s dead.

Steven turns around to find Nell nearly on top of him, her face decaying as he watches. Then she screams, knocking him to the ground in horror, and disappears.

It’s important to note that the adaptation, helmed by horror director Mike Flanagan (Gerald’s Game, Occulus), is inspired by Jackson’s well-known novel, but the story differs greatly. Still, fans of both the original source material and some of its previous adaptations will find Easter Eggs aplenty hiding among Hill House’s haunted grounds.
