The Haunting of Hill House refused to be strictly a ghost story, and that’s what gave it its biggest strength. I love the novel, and I really appreciated the inclusion of so many elements from the book, it felt like a love letter. The cup of stars, the phrases “journeys end in lovers meeting,” and “all alone, in the night, in the dark” were all taken from Jackson’s novel. Some of the character names were used, phrases were repeated, and even a few scenes were included.
The storyline was completely new, yet used elements of the source material to make fans of the book happy. The classic novel by Shirley Jackson had been adapted twice before for the big screen, but this adaptation was different.

Each of them perfectly portrayed the trauma the characters suffered as children living in the very haunted Hill House. The Crain children as adults were played by Kate Siegel, Michiel Huisman, Elizabeth Reiser, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and, in her first role, Victoria Pedretti. There was not an over-the-top performance out of any of them, and that is definitely not the norm with child actors.

The series was cast with a mixture of relatively unknown and A-list actors, all of whom gave incredibly layered performances.Ĭarla Gugino, Henry Thomas, Annabeth Gish and Timothy Hutton are well-known and respected performers, while the child cast of Lulu Wilson, McKenna Grace, Paxton Singleton, Julian Hilliard and Violet McGraw were uniformly excellent in their diverse roles.
