These don’t always connect with a story that has become alternatingly whimsical and sad, but very rarely actually scary.
Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s comic is a horror story with fantastical undertones, but the series has reversed the equation, adding classic horror references - the town’s name has gone from “Lovecraft” to “Matheson,” like Richard, while Tom Savini references, plus a cameo, abound. The spacious Key House has everything - ample bedrooms, magical keys tied to a family curse, scenic views, a secret walled-off room in the basement, seaside access, a demonic woman trapped in a well. After a shocking act of self-immolation (explained far later in the series), the pilot begins with the Locke family - mother Nina (Darby Stanchfield), teens Tyler (Connor Jessup) and Kinsey (Emilia Jones), plus Bode (Jackson Robert Scott) in elementary school - leaving Seattle after a horrifying family tragedy to move to the ancestral home of deceased patriarch Rendell (Bill Heck, in a lot of flashbacks) on a remote part of coastal Massachusetts.
