As in the original book, the governess's story is introduced by a narrator (Carla Gugino), one who even quotes James's novella ahead of her tale: "If the child gives the effect, another turn of the screw, what do you say to two children?" "You're not going to do much better than The Innocents anyway," he added. Still, it's very much its own thing, with twists and turns a diehard James fan hasn't seen before. "I think of Turning of the Screw as the backbone of this season-the through line that carries us from beginning to end," Flanagan told Total Film in October 2019. But Bly Manor bears a much closer resemblance to its best-known version, the 1961 horror classic The Innocents (it's likely no coincidence that Dani Clayton shares a last name with The Innocents director Jack Clayton). The story has been adapted many times over, most recently in 2020's The Turning, starring Mackenzie Davis and Finn Wolfhard. Like season 1, The Haunting of Hill House, the new installment's tale of governess Dani Clayton ( Victoria Pedretti) and her young charges, Flora and Miles (Amelia Smith and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) is largely based on a book: This time, Henry James's 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw. Flanagan has also called The Haunting of Bly Manor, which hit Netflix on October 9, a "gothic romance story." It's a centuries-old story as well, in part.
"At its foundation, the Haunting series is very much about haunted spaces and haunted people," creator and showrunner Mike Flanagan told Vanity Fair back in August. Here are the biggest differences between The Haunting of Bly Manor and the book that inspired it.The story is based on the Henry James novella The Turn of the Screw, with a few twists.Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor, the follow-up to the horror series The Haunting of Hill House, premiered on October 9.
