An extended director’s cut of the spook-tastic “Haunting of Hill House” Netflix horror series is coming soon to Blu-Ray — hopefully in time for Halloween.
Amblin Entertainment announced the project on Twitter Thursday.
“Good news, @haunting fans! Just listed, new to the market. Why lease when you can own a lovely estate like Hill House, now even more spacious with director [Mike Flanagan’s] extended cut of the series! Preorder now, this House is priced to move,” the production company said in the tweet.
“Hill House” creator and director Mike Flanagan also confirmed the news.
“Well this news got out there a LITTLE earlier than we wanted… but yes, it’s true!” he tweeted Friday. “More details to come, but it was a blast restoring several episodes to their original form. Hope you all enjoy!”
There is no official release date yet, but the Blu-Ray is available for pre-order now on Amazon.
A modern reimagining of Shirley Jackson’s iconic novel, “The Haunting of Hill House” launched last October on Netflix. The next installment, titled “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” is set to premiere on Netflix in 2020 featuring an all new story and characters.
Now dubbed the “Haunting” anthology, the first season centered around the Crain family: father Hugh (older version played by Timothy Hutton, younger version portrayed by Henry Thomas), mother Olivia (Carla Gugino), and their children, Steve (Michiel Huisman), Shirley (Elizabeth Reaser), Theo (Kate Siegel), Luke (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and Nellie (Victoria Pedretti). The story follows the events that transpired during the one summer the Crains lived in the titular haunted home, and their lives decades after leaving Hill House due to a tragic incident.
