Haunting S03 Would've Adapted Richard Matheson/"Hell House": Flanagan

Mike Flanagan revealed that he wanted to focus on Richard Matheson's Hell House is there had been a third season of Netflix's "Haunting."

2018's The Haunting of Hill House, 2020's The Haunting of Bly Manor, 2021's Midnight Mass, 2022's The Midnight Club, and 2023's The Fall of the House of Usher. As creative runs go, it would be hard to argue that Mike Flanagan's run with Netflix wasn't a pretty damn impressive one on any number of levels. But as much as we celebrate what we've received, Flanagan has us feeling a bit crushed over what could've been. Suntup Editions' upcoming fine press limited edition of Richard Matheson's 1971 novel Hell House includes a forward by Flanagan where he reveals that the third season of the "Haunting" anthology would've been. We have a feeling you've already figured it out…

"Had there been a third season, I wanted that season to be 'The Haunting of Hell House.' It was actually the first title we explored when 'Hill House' was over, but the rights were spoken for, and there did not seem to be a path forward," Flanagan shared in the forward. Later, Flanagan would repost the original article while reaffirming that Hell House was on his radar:

Currently streaming on Netflix, here's a look at the trailer for Flanagan & Trevor Macy's The Fall of the House of Usher:
