"How do you design a haunted house that doesn't actually look scary? 🚪👁️"

Welcome back to Once Upon a TV Time! In this episode, host Marine Perot steps inside the grand, twisting corridors of prestige horror alongside acclaimed production designer Patricio Farrell.

Patricio is the creative mastermind responsible for building the hauntingly majestic sets of Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House. If you’ve ever been mesmerized by the unsettling architecture, the hidden ghosts in the woodwork, or the infamous Red Room, this episode pulls back the curtain on how director Mike Flanagan's terrifying world was constructed from the ground up.

In this masterclass episode, we explore:

• 📐 The Architecture of Fear: Patricio's unique creative journey and the background that shaped his design philosophy.

• 👻 The Anti-Cliche Haunted House: The brilliant, psychological concepts behind creating a space that feels grand and beautiful rather than stereotypically spooky.

• 🎬 The Hill House Blueprint: How a physical set was engineered to act as a literal character in the Crain family's tragic story.
