Mike Flanagan’s New Netflix Show Copies A Story From His Last Horror Hit

While The Fall of the House of Usher looks like a major departure from form for Mike Flanagan, that doesn’t mean the series won’t borrow a story element from his most recent show. Mike Flanagan’s style has become pretty recognizable in the last few years. Through critically acclaimed Netflix shows like The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, and The Midnight Club, Flanagan has become synonymous with a certain brand of horror drama. Flanagan’s work features many dysfunctional relationships, supernatural elements as trauma metaphors, and moving monologues on life, death, science, faith, and other big themes.
