Netflix’s Haunting of Hill House had an alternate ending you didn’t know about

So spooky!
Netflix

THE mother of all ghost stories, The Haunting of Hill House, premiered on Netflix on October 12 and reportedly has a haunting ending that even the most stoic horror fans won’t forget in a hurry.

However the 10-episode series, which reimagines American author Shirley Jackson’s classic horror novel of the same name and focuses on the five Crain siblings who all grew up in a haunted house and are left traumatised following their mother’s death, originally had a very different ending, according to actor Michiel Huisman.

“There’s been many rewrites,” Huisman told Digital Spy. “Because when I signed on, I think the outline for the whole season was there but not all the scripts. I remember at some point that we were gonna burn down the house. But that doesn’t happen. That would have been a great end too but this end is better.”
