@jesskbacon: I don’t think I’ve ever been so blown away and moved by an answer in an interview before🥺 I’m so immensely grateful to @Prime Video UKIE for giving me this opportunity to speak to one of my favourite (and the best!!) writers and director, Mike Flanagan about his latest project, Carrie (which is phenomenally good!)👏🏻 I was also so surprised by how emotional I got when I told Mike how much The Haunting of Hill House meant to me, watching it after my dad died and feeling so seen in my grief for the first time (as well as being absolutely petrified!!). I don’t usually mention things like this in junkets and I didn’t realise how emotional it would make me (I literally struggled to form words🙃) but I’m also so grateful to creatives that do make such powerful representations of grief as it makes us all feel seen a little less alone in it ❤️‍🩹 Carrie is one of the best TV series I’ve watched all year and all eight episodes are on Prime Video now🍿 #whattowatch #carrie #mikeflanagan #horrorstories #griefsupport

Midnight Mass changed my life. Not figuratively, literally. The cosmic impact that show had one me still ripples to this day.

“She would sleep, she would wake, she would walk” broke my brain. It hit home and not just because of the pandemic, but relating to that and not wanting to feel like that anymore led to figuring out I was in Perimenopause and got my emotionally zombified self on HRT.

We watched Haunting of Hill House when it first came out, then we lost our daughter in 2021. We recently rewatched the series, and my goodness. It hits so completely different now. We had to pause it several times towards the end because we were crying so hard.

Hereditary and Midsommar are also great examples of horror centering around grief and relationship dynamics

that’s why i’ve always said realistic horror or psychological horror is more scary because it’s real life shit we go through that can be terrifying

I wonder if he knows how important hill house is to those of us who have experienced deep, profound grief. I did a rewatch of it a month after my dad died. I cried and cried. I was so sad, but after a week of watching it a tiny little part of me felt lighter.
