Netflix invited viewers inside its spooky reimagining of The Haunting of Hill House at New York Comic Con on Friday night.
The series stars Michiel Huisman (Steven Crain), Elizabeth Reaser (Shirly Crain), Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Luke Crain), Kate Siegel (Theo Crain), Victoria Pedretti (Nell Crain), Timothy Hutton (Hugh Crain), Carla Gugino (Olivia Crain), and Henry Thomas (Young Hugh Crain), and is created by horror director Mike Flanagan - who the cast credits with building a truly terrifying world for their characters to inhabit.
Find out what we think of the upcoming season below:
