Mike Flanagan has been teasing that the second season of his Netflix original series “The Haunting of Bly Manor” will be more frightening than the “The Haunting of Hill House” which was absolutely fantastic. Originally thought to just be an adaptation of Henry James’ “The Turn of the Screw,” Flanagan revealed to Games Radar that the series will also feature more of James’ tales. The thing I have access to, that no other adaptation of Turn of the Screw has, is the rest of Henry James’ ghost stories. I get to use all of them.” Flanagan continued, “The Turn of the Screw is only one of a dozen stories that we re telling. All Henry James; all thematically linked.

‘Stranger Things’ fans watched as actor Finn Wolfhard went head to head with Pennywise earlier this year in the new adaption of Stephen King’s It. Now, the talented young actor has signed on for upcoming horror film The Turning from director Floria Sigismondi. In the film, inspired by the novella “The Turning of the Screw”, the 14-year-old will play the role of an orphan. Production is expected to begin early next year. But don’t worry, we’ll see Wolfhard again in the next season of ‘Strangers Things’. In the 1898 story that was originally printed in Collier’s Weekly, a young governess has been hired to look after and teach a young brother and sister who live in a sprawling gothic mansion. Soon the governess begins to see two spirits who she believes are after the children. By the end of the tale readers and critics were left wondering if the spirits existed or if it was all in the governess’ head.
