Haunted homes and families are a cornerstone of many Flanagan tales and of this British TV adaptation of James Herbert’s 2011 novel. The BBC supernatural drama takes a look at the Caleigh family’s new Crickley Hall digs, which aren’t without a few ghostly inhabitants.

Dating back to 2012, the series features several recognizable actors, including Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones), Olivia Cooke (Sound of Metal), and Iain De Caestecker (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).

The first two seasons of this binge-worthy anthology series aired on The CW, but anyone who missed their chance to view Two Sentence Horror Stories on TV can do that now on Netflix. Each season and episode are short, but that doesn't mean they're any less scary. Viewers can appreciate the diverse characters the series brings, along with multiple compelling stories. If you’re a fan of other anthology horror series, such as Black Mirror, Tales From the Crypt, and Are You Afraid of the Dark, Two Sentence Horror Stories should be a welcome treat.

Grown children return to their family home, where something terrible happened to their mother when they were younger, to grapple with the traumatic legacy that continues to haunt them. Yes, that describes Hill House, but it’s also the plot of Oculus, which in many ways feels like a trial run for the show. It's also just as terrifying: the haunted mirror at the film’s center leaves both the characters and the audience constantly questioning the reality of what they’re seeing.

Before appearing in Hill House and Bly Manor, Kate Siegel co-wrote and starred in this film directed by her husband.

How do you survive when you can’t even hear the things that go bump in the night? Dare to find out in this nail-biting movie, also starring John Gallagher Jr. (The Miseducation of Cameron Post).

In another of Flanagan’s feature films, Jacob Tremblay (Room) stars as a young boy whose foster parents (played by Kate Bosworth and Thomas Jane) are amazed to discover that his dreams — and nightmares — literally become reality. Full of imagery both beautiful and haunting, and with an emotional core that fans will recognize from Flanagan’s other work, Before I Wake is an underrated but must-see entry in his filmography.

Continue your Stephen King mini-marathon with this HBO limited series adapted from King’s 2018 novel of the same name. It stars Jason Bateman as a man accused of a gruesome crime. The evidence against him is irrefutable, but so is the proof that he was hundreds of miles away when the crime was committed. Surely a man can’t be in two places at once… right? The answer to that question will lead you in increasingly unexpected — and increasingly frightening — directions.

How do you make a horror movie scary when your protagonist is handcuffed to a bed the entire time? That’s the challenge Flanagan set for himself with this adaptation of Stephen King’s novel of the same name, starring future Hill House star Carla Gugino. Gugino’s character, Jessie, is left for dead, but it’s up to viewers to see what could kill her first – her traumatic memories, starvation, dehydration, or the dog that sits by her bedside.

It takes a bold filmmaker to make a sequel to one of the most beloved films of all time. But Flanagan’s most recent film, based on Stephen King’s follow-up to The Shining, successfully paid tribute to Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 classic while creating a terrifying vision all its own. Ewan McGregor stars as the traumatized, grown-up version of The Shining’s young Danny Torrance, engaged in a violent struggle with a psychic vampire played by Rebecca Ferguson.

While Netflix scared audiences with its adaptation of The Turn Of The Screw, HBO was busy scaring its audience with an adaptation of another horror novel, 2016’s Lovecraft Country. The series examines life in Jim Crow America through the lens of Lovecraftian eldritch nightmares — and it’s the history/horror mashup you never knew you needed. Unfortunately, despite earning 18 Emmy nominations in 2021, the acclaimed TV show was canceled after its first season. Still, Season 1 is available to stream.

If you enjoyed Flanagan’s two forays into Stephen King’s canon, you’ll also enjoy this Netflix movie adapted from the 2012 novella King wrote alongside his son, fellow horror author Joe Hill. Director Vincenzo Natali (Cube) does for fields what Jaws did for the ocean (yes, really), as a cast led by Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) find themselves unable to escape the titular grass — and whatever supernatural force lurks within its gently swaying stalks.

If touring the ghost-infested halls of Bly Manor leaves you craving another haunted house movie, look no further than this Netflix original film. Ruth Wilson (His Dark Materials) stars as a live-in nurse who moves into a creepy house to care for an elderly, ailing horror author. Likening it to the work of The Haunting Of Hill House author Shirley Jackson, the Village Voice raved that the film is “the most atmospherically faithful adaptation ever of a Jackson book that never existed.”

If you’re craving another horror anthology series, turn to Hulu for Stephen King’s eerie Castle Rock. Executive produced by King and J.J. Abrams, the show, set in Castle Rock, Maine, brilliantly presents characters, themes, and settings previously created by the author. For example, in Season 1, Jane Levy (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist) plays the niece of Jack Torrance, whom you may remember as the main antagonist in The Shining. In Season 2 Episode 1, Lizzy Caplan (Mean Girls) portrays a young Annie Wilkes, fondly remembered as novelist Paul Sheldon’s biggest (and most demented) fan in Misery. The show was canceled in 2019, but both seasons are still available to stream.

Another horror anthology TV show comes courtesy of American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy. This AHS spinoff series features hour-long episodes of terrifying tales and tantalizing stars. Plus, actors who’ve already appeared in prior Murphy TV projects, like Billie Lourd, Matt Bomer, and Kevin McHale, return in American Horror Stories. Celebs who are new to Murphy’s AHS universe also make their debut in American Horror Stories — keep an eye out for Paris Jackson. The show’s premiere on Hulu was so successful that it was renewed for a second season not long after making its way to the streaming platform in 2021.
