The 10 Best Horror Adaptations of 2015–2025 (Hill House, Doctor Sleep, Usher, Dracula & More)
Description
Horror fans, assemble. In this episode, we dive into the last decade’s most effective page-to-screen chills and why adaptations are thriving right now. We talk TV’s “Flanaverse” and how The Haunting of Hill House set a new bar for character-first terror; the surprising heart (and heartbreak) in Doctor Sleep as King’s universe expands; how AMC’s Interview with the Vampire modernizes Rice without losing the bite; why The Invisible Man works as a tech-tinged, trauma-aware update; the pure slasher fun of Fear Street; the Poe-soaked spectacle of The Fall of the House of Usher; BBC’s Dracula and a terrifying Claes Bang performance; and more—plus honorable mentions like Gerald’s Game and the 2024 gothic revival of Nosferatu.
We also chat about why modern audiences (hi, millennials) keep fueling bigger horror budgets and better fidelity to source material.
If you love books, films, and the delicious space where they meet, this one’s for you.
