Horror Director Mike Flanagan Discussed Adapting Shirley Jackson's 1959 Book in a 2018 Interview
Jackson's 1959 book has had several film and TV adaptations, including Mike Flanagan's Netflix miniseries, The Haunting of Hill House, which is pretty lax in using the original text as inspiration. In a 2018 interview with SciFiNow, Flanagan explained why he chose to move away from the novel's original plot and have his mini-series be about siblings navigating grief after living in a haunted house.
"It’s such a landmark and had already been adapted so beautifully by Robert Wise that the pressure was definitely there from the get-go. The one thing I really didn’t want to do was to approach the material and even try to out-do what Robert Wise had accomplished with it," said Flanagan. "It had already been done so well that our only options were to try and do it again, which would inevitably draw less than fair levels of comparison, or to try and take some of the ideas and the characters and the style of Shirley and the way she tells a story and try to recontextualise it so we could still touch on some of the elements of the novel that I love so much and I think her fans love so much, but to approach it through a different prism."
"I view Shirley Jackson’s novel as essentially the quintessential haunted house novel. I think it’s the most iconic haunted house in literature and it’s influenced so many other things," said the director in the 2018 interview.
