- TriviaRobert Kurtzman reveals that up to 30 "Easter egg" ghosts are planted throughout the series. "It was [creator/director Mike Flanagan's] plan from the beginning to set up these kinds of little Easter eggs and see if people could spot them." While working on the primary prosthetic makeup for the show each day, the makeup team would also produce up to four of the "hidden ghosts" as well for Flanagan to pepper in the shadows.

Featured review
I'm a big fan of Flanagan's work and enjoy basically everything that he's done; this show is no different! Beautiful colour palette and visually stunning. I love his take on the classic characters and creating an estranged family out of those characters arguably increases the drama and tension between them.
Every character has their own arch and their own challenges created by an initial traumatic event which occurred in the family's past. The house stands as a metaphor for familial trauma which each character endures and then has to cope with the ghosts of their pasts.
The only reason I rated this an 8 and not a 9 is due to the disappointing ending (in my opinion) which destroyed the overall themes of fate and cycles of familial melancholy by creating a cheap emotional resolution.
Despite the end, I enjoyed episodes 1 - 9 very much!
