I'm not that old. I don't know too much of the horror genre. I mostly just watch classic slashers. But I do know this show was great. Unlike the ghosts in "Hill House" the ghosts in "Bly Manor" are actually malevolent and have intent to kill and harm. The show isn't the exact same show as "Hill House" but what were you expecting? A shot for shot remake? This show isn't canon to Hill house so you shouldn't expect the same show. But the show is great and I would watch it if I were you.
