11. The Haunting Of Hill House (Netflix)

Shirley Jackson's classic horror novel has proved ripe for adaptation since its publication in 1959, spawning two movies adaptations which shared the name The Haunting, but were otherwise radically different.

Enough time has passed for the 1999 version to be forgotten - or at least forgiven - and now Netflix are taking a new stab at it, coming from Mike Flanagan, who made Gerald's Game for the streaming service last year.

The show will follow a family in the present day and the past as they attempt to deal with ghosts both literal and figurative. If they can get it right then it'll tap into a gap in the market for a great horror series, and Flanagan is one of the best directors working in the genre right now. The cast, meanwhile, includes Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, and Henry Thomas.

Air Date: October 12
