The Haunting of Hill House (2018)First aired 12 Oct 2018A family's haunted childhood returns through habits, rooms and memories that never quite line up.

The Terror (2018)First aired 26 Mar 2018Begin with the first season's trapped Arctic expedition, where damaged leadership and dwindling resources make every silence oppressive.

Marianne (2019)First aired 13 Sept 2019A horror writer's return home brings her imagined terror into an unnervingly familiar community.

The Kingdom (1994)First aired 24 Nov 1994A Danish hospital's professional routines are invaded by sounds and events its staff cannot comfortably explain.
