VIDEO : Stephen King Calls 'The Haunting of Hill House' 'A Work Of Genius'

Renowned horror author Stephen King called Netflix's "The Haunting of Hill House" TV series "close to a work of genius." The horror series is a surprisingly emotional family drama, and one of Netflix's best original shows. Director Mike Flanagan ("Gerald's Game") creates a creepy mood throughout the series that leaves the viewer in suspense. The show's true horror beyond ghosts, though, comes from our real-life human fears. Renowned horror author Stephen King has high praise for Netflix's new horror series, "The Haunting of Hill House," which debuted on the streaming service on Friday.
