Binged this over two nights, fantastic series over all although I wasn't entirely happy with the ending

it wasn't the original ending according to the makers, Niamh
they changed it to make it happier

Oh really? I must have a google

Ohhhhh just googled the original ending, that would have fit so much better

I liked the ending a lot, probably would have been more predictable and typical for a horror if it ended with them all trapped in the house.

Yeah I know but it just felt like it didn't really fit properly with the mood of the rest of the series

It was brilliant though over all, went through it so fast.

Not even at the end when it showed you the window?

Come ON Niamh, look alive!! :oh:

Hope they do more, they said they might do, but not this house

I may have been a bit drunk while watching it :skull:

A prequel with the Hills could be good

I'm completely against another season if it means continuing the story of the cranes or Hill House because it would mean revealing too much and ruining the mystery of why Hill House is the way it is.

The story was pretty much perfect as is, they should just let it end on a high note rather than risk ruining what they've build needlessly.

An anthology series "The Haunting of _____" is the only acceptable option for a sequel season.

The Haunting of Marsh's Butthole

Hahahaha... ...

that's what it sounded like the way they described it
different locations, different characters

Too Soap Opera-y for me personally.

What on earth was soap opera-y about it?

Renewed for S2 but as an anothology so similar to AHS, different story/characters/actors etc

good news

The new series is called 'The Haunting of Bly Manor' and is based on the book 'The Turn of the Screw'.

Meh, studied this in a 1st year Uni English Lit module... I wasn't the biggest fan tbh. Hopefully it's modernised, which could be a fun twist on it, it's an interesting enough story and in roughly the same vein as Hill House (IIRC you never find out explicitly if there are real ghosts, or if the central character has gone mad and is hallucinating).

But I'm not overly interested if it's going to be set in the Victorian era. Would rather it just be "based on" but updated with modern characters.

I imagine it'll be a similar deal to the first season and the book it's based on. Modernised settings with the characters completely reimagined from what they were in the book.

I wonder if they'll change the ending like they did Hill House... I hope so personally as knowing the ending ruins the suspense.

I think it will after all the ending of the first season was completely different to that of the book, in fact the only similarities were the character names and the location.
