It wasn't. A mishmash of a story. Johnny Depp chewing scenery like there was no tomorrow. A very confusing "twist" ending. By the time the ending finally rolled around, I didn't even care. (I did love the Niffler though)

I love Shirley Jackson. Her novel The Haunting of Hill House is a huge favorite of mine. The 1963 movie did right by the novel. Nearly perfect. (Don't ask me about the travesty that was the 1999 version) Now, this wonderful series! I wasn't sure what to expect. It took me part of the first episode to really get into the show. Well worth the effort. The show is well cast. Both children and adult actors are convincing The transitions from the past to the present are skillfully done. Creepy, scary stuff? Why, yes, more than enough

Recently re-watched "Un-boxed" from the first season. Still my favorite. Creepy story about Robert the doll woven through the story of the Island of the Dolls, a very strange Russian doll collector and even touched on Reborns. Fascinating So far in Season 2, I fell asleep during Burke and Hare (master grave robbers/salesmen.) Even Pinhead himself, Doug Bradley, couldn't keep me awake. I got bored with Elizabeth Bathory even though I know her chilling story...I wasn't chilled. No more Lore for me
