Just because The Haunting of Bly Manor is the younger sibling of the Netflix original series The Haunting of Hill House, it doesn’t mean that the series is any less terrifying.

Full of shocking twists, heartbreaking origins, and a shockingly heartbreaking conclusion, this show is sure to serve up some major scares in a way that is sure to leave you checking under your beds at night and double-checking your locked doors.

However, it’s not all terror. What sets this particular show apart from its predecessor is its telling of a beautiful story between two lovers in the midst of all the horrors of the haunted manor.

“This is not a ghost story, it’s a love story” is a phrase that you will hear time and time again, and each time these words are muttered, the strings of your heart will play a sorrowful melody to honor the fallen.

The Haunting of Bly Manor is a unique series like no other and is the perfect show to fill your Halloween weekend with terrors and tears.
