Haunting my A$$

They should have called it "the Bly Chronicles"

It was VERY boring with all those "We ArE StUcK iN A MeMorY" BS... I stopped watching at chapter 7

I think they did remove the horror from this season. It was nothing like the first one.

^^^While I agree in wasnt as scary as Hill House and There wasnt as MUCH horror

I do not agree They removed all or most of the horror...

Episodes 4 through 9 were on par with Hill House for Horror/scares

Episodes 1,2 and 3 were quite slow, and I found myself thinking "wow, This doesnt seem like a Horror/ghost series"....I was highly considering Mike Flanagan Missed the mark and made the mistake of trying to make the series to dramatic/Deep....But Then Episodes 4 through 9 Hit and IMO were Incredible

Basically though the only thing that was remotely scary or had the ghost feel to it in the first 3 episodes were Dani's visions when she looked in the mirror and saw her BF with The Glasses....Had that not been there in the first few episodes, It truly wouldnt have felt at all like a horror/ghost series in the early episodes

after completing the series though, I no longer feel There was anything wrong with the first 3 episodes, I dont deny they are slow,But I feel after completing the series, I understand why they were slow and It really helped Pay off The Last half of the series

overall I LOVED it

If this was season 1 then yes it would have delivered on the promise of a haunted house. However, the first season set a precedent by being a horror show. So yes technically Bly Manor was haunted but not in the way that most fans of the first season were hoping.

Imagine if Friday the 13th part 78 comes out and it's the story of teenagers who go to camp crystal lake on a Friday the 13th and enjoy a weekend of fun and self discovery. Sure the title of Friday the 13th would technically be accurate. But at the same time it really wouldn't be accurate at all and fans of the series would be understandably disappointed.

You've got me there...

Though my point was that the "haunting" felt more like an underdeveloped "story thread" than plot...

"No one promised you nail biting horror"

It's true that they didn't promise it. But when you make a sequel to a horror tv show it is strongly implied that it will also be a horror tv show. The horror elements are what made Hill House so popular and memorable.

Perfect example for people bitching about things they didn't even understand because they did not pay attention.
