Films and series, ranked together
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
The hidden ghosts in the background, the bent-neck lady, episode six.
Midnight Mass (2021)
Faith, an island and a miracle that goes wrong. His most personal work.
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
A gothic romance more than a horror show, and lovely for it.
The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)
Poe as a pharma-dynasty satire. Gleefully nasty.
Doctor Sleep (2019)
Flanagan reconciles King's book with Kubrick's film.
Gerald's Game (2017)
Carla Gugino, handcuffs, the moonlight man.
Hush (2016)
His best-reviewed feature. Tight as a drum.
Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016)
A board-game prequel turned into something genuinely scary.
Carrie (2026)
His King series, renewed for a second season (Entertainment Weekly).
Oculus (2013)
The haunted mirror that launched him.
Absentia (2011)
The micro-budget debut. A tunnel you will avoid.
The Life of Chuck (2024)
Gentle King, barely horror, very moving.
Before I Wake (2016)
A child whose dreams come true, nightmares included.
The Midnight Club (2022)
Teen hospice ghost stories.
