Haunting of Hill House Cast Interview
By now you’ve probably heard the incredible buzz on one of Netflix’s newest shows: The Haunting of Hill House. The ten-episode series, based on Shirley Jackson’s iconic horror novel of the same name, was created, directed, and executive produced by Mike Flanagan, whose credits include Oculus, Gerald’s Game, and Ouija: Origin of Evil. The story explores a group of siblings who grew up as children in what would become the most famous haunted house in the country. Now adults, the family must come face to face with their past in a very ghostly way.
Shortly before the series premiered, I got to sit down with Henry Thomas, Victoria Pedretti and Kate Siegel for an exclusive video interview after seeing the first few episodes. They talked about getting to work with Mike Flanagan, how much they knew about the arc of the season before filming began, how the show is a family drama wrapped in the horror genre, how they shot the sixth episode (which was shot like a play with extremely long takes), and a lot more.
While there are a lot of great choices on Netflix right now, I absolutely recommend checking out The Haunting of Hill House. It’s extremely well done and absolutely worth your time. The series also stars Michiel Huisman, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Elizabeth Reaser, Carla Gugino, Timothy Hutton, Lulu Wilson, Mckenna Grace, Paxton Singleton, Violet McGraw, and Julian Hilliard.

The only show in which it is impossible to hate any character. But out of the entire Craine family Nelle deserved the most to have an happy ending.

@Truth Seeker Steve was self centered, Shirley was control freak, Theo was a hypocrite when she used the royalty money for her phd, Luke manipulated Nelle into buying drugs from a dealer. So from this context Nelle was innocent and pure. That's how I see it, maybe I am wrong.

@Truth Seeker That seems to be pretty plausible theory. 1. From what I understood, nothingness means you feel numb and blank. 2. That I have been questioning too. 3. It is Poppy Hill's Husband I think. 4. Maybe they had the same vision and they saw themselves telling all that to Olivia. 5. To a parent their child never grows old. I think the scene had more of symbolic meaning like no matter what to Hugh , Nelle will always be his baby girl. 6. It was house playing tricks on her mind. Only Olivia was not the part of hallucination.

The actress that plays Theo reminds me of Angelina Jolie so much.

They all are, it really bothers me
This show was extremely emotional. I expected it to be scary but the complete and utter sadness was unexpected
I love how, towards the end of the interview, Henry Thomas made an effort to reassure the journalist by asking his opinion on the topic he wanted to talk about. Seemed like a conscious decision and considerate, instead of just thinking "well, that's it over, onto the next one"
"He takes these ideas we have about families and really explodes them with the concept of horror. By the time you're invested in the family and the ghosts start to turn up, you really feel for the characters." Exactly!
I fell so in love with Nelly. What an amazing actress.
Even though it was just an act, I still feel so bad for poor Nell by watching this :(

You got that right
Here's something I don't understand: Why did they hire a different actor (Timothy Hutton) to portray the older version of Hugh, when they could have used makeup to age Henry Thomas? Not that I didn't enjoy Hutton's performance. I thought it was very good and extremely moving. I just want to know what the reasoning was to hire the two different actors. Also, Kate summed up the very reason why I love this series, with her response to the first question they were all asked. I love the fact that we, the viewers, become emotionally invested in what is happening to the characters. We come to love the Crain family, and because of that we react strongly to what is happening to them. Not just because of the, "scare factor," but because we've become attached to them and we truly feel horrible for them. I love horror stories that allow us to become emotionally invested.
