20 Best Netflix Original Shows

20. The Haunting

Horror series are nothing new. Ever since American Horror Story debuted, the genre has seen a mass rise in appreciation from TV audiences, and whilst many of the shows left in Ryan Murphy's wake haven't been particularly effective, Mike Flanagan's anthology shocker The Haunting Of Hill House/Bly Manor has already left a mark as one of Netflix's best properties.

An anthology series based on famous horror stories by two of the genre's most influential writers, the show kicked off with The Haunting of Hill House (by Shirley Jackson) and was followed by The Haunting of Bly Manor (by Henry James).

Both narratives feature the same set of actors in different roles, including Carla Gugino and Victoria Pedretti, and offer up a great riff on their inspirations. The Haunting revels in its style and masterful tension building, leaning into each stories' grim aesthetic whilst crafting a confident and genuinely scary atmosphere.

Apparently the show is all but done now, but here's to hoping things change in the future and we get to see more scary thrills moving forward.
