“The Haunting of Hill House”: Mike Flanagan Offers Commentary on “Expensive” Fully Restored Deleted Scene [Exclusive]
Netflix’s “The Haunting of Hill House“ is coming to Blu-ray tomorrow in the form of an “Extended Director’s Cut”, courtesy of Paramount Home Entertainment.
The 3-Disc Blu-ray and 4-Disc DVD sets feature all 10 episodes from the acclaimed first season, including, for the first time, three Extended Director’s Cut episodes with never-before-seen content.
The Blu-ray and DVD also include commentary by Flanagan on four episodes. Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look at one of these extended sequences with and without director Mike Flanagan‘s commentary. The full restored deleted scene shows Steven Crain (Michiel Huisman) driving by an accident, one that Flanagan explains was incredibly “expensive” to stage and shoot (because of the accident and extras).
With Mike Flanagan’s Commentary:
Without Commentary:
“The Haunting of Hill House” is a modern reimagining of Shirley Jackson’s legendary novel of the same name, about five siblings who grew up in the most famous haunted house in America. Now adults, they’re reunited by the suicide of their youngest sister, which forces them to finally confront the ghosts of their own pasts…some which lurk in their minds…and some which may really be lurking in the shadows of the iconic Hill House.
Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Victoria Pedretti, Michael Huisman, Carla Gugino, Henry Thomas, Elizabeth Reaser, Kate Siegel and Mckenna Grace lead the cast.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
