Just wanted to give these a shout-out.
Watched Hill House last year around this time, and re-watched it this year with my kids since my youngest is finally a teenager. It's one of the best seasons of television that I've ever seen. It's not only a great ghost story, it's also a great family drama. It's incredibly well put together, shot, acted, the music is perfect.
I tend to like horror that does not include lots of violence and gore. If it serves the story then OK, otherwise I think it's lazy and not scary. To me, the threat of violence is much more terrifying, rather seeing the act itself. So, if you're into that kind of horror then you might find this slow and boring.
Started watching Bly Manor just this past weekend, about 4 episodes in, and it is very similar in nature. It actually uses a lot of the same actors, the musical score is re-used (which is fine it's great), and I'm pretty sure they just use the same set for Bly Manor that they did for Hill House, just rearranged some things. Which again, fits, because this is supposedly an anthology series.
Bly Manor seems to be more "family friendly" than Hill House, which had a lot of language and adult themes. It's not a kid show by any means, but though I wouldn't show Hill to kids in middle school, I would Bly.
So, just wanted to recommend these during the Halloween season...
