The Haunting of Hill House will follow a 1959 novel written by Shirley Jackson, with some updates for a more modern audience. Deadline has the synopsis:
It explores a group of siblings who, as children, grew up in what would go on to become the most famous haunted house in the country. Now adults, and forced back together in the face of tragedy, the family must finally confront the ghosts of their past—some of which will lurk in their minds while others may actually be stalking the shadows of Hill House.
Starring Carla Gugino, Timothy Hutton, Elizabeth Reaser, and Oliver Jackson-Cohen, The Haunting of Hill House hits Netflix on October 12.
