Horror mastermind Mike Flanagan blew fans’ minds in a big way in 2023 with the release of the blood-soaked and emotionally harrowing The Fall of the House of Usher, which quickly became one of my favorite horror series of all time. Despite adapting a variety of works from Edgar Allan Poe, the limited series wasn’t part of Netflix’s Haunting anthology alongside Hill House and Bly Manor, but it turns out Flanagan did indeed have a specific goal in mind for Season 3 had everything worked out in his favor. And OMG, it could have been the best one yet, because he was aiming to put his signature spin on the works of literary icon Richard Matheson.
