The Haunting of Bly Manor is another brilliant horror series created by Mike Flanagan for Netflix. The series is a follow-up to Flanagan’s other hit Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House because many cast members return for the series but the story in Bly Manor is completely different and completely genius. The Haunting of Bly Manor is based on the 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw written by Henry James. There are many scary moments in the series but that’s not what the series is about its about human nature and love. Bly Manor completed its story in a single so there is no chance for a second you should see these other shows that are quite like The Haunting of Bly Manor.
