Flanagan's stuff is (IMHO) some of the best horror TV there is at the moment.

If you haven't seen the Haunting of Hill House, I definitely recommend it. If you're into that sort of thing.

Haven't watched The Fall of the House of Usher yet, but I'm very much looking forward to it.

I thought Midnight Mass was his best - very cool original premise, though unfortunately didn't stay consistent to the invented framework.
I really enjoyed it, but it didn't have as much brooding, dark terror as Hill House.

But it's a matter of degree, I've liked all of his TV stuff so far. I must go back and watch some of his movies.

> Haunting of Hill House

A PG-13ish horror show with big themes that it exposes and employs with taste and skill. Was pleasantly surprised to get a lot more than a decent ghost story out of this one—not many folks aim that high, and fewer hit their mark.
