Director Mike Flanagan says that his favorite episode of Netflix's "The Haunting of Hill House" made him cry, and is why he wanted to make the show.

In a lot of ways, that episode was why I wanted to make this show," he said.
"It completely changes everything that came before it," he added.

There are plenty of emotional moments in Netflix's hit horror series, "The Haunting of Hill House," but one of the biggest made even the show's director cry.

Episode five, "The Bent-Neck Lady," focuses on Nell's (Victoria Pedretti) storyline, and reveals that the ghost that haunted her as a child was actually her own after she dies as an adult. Director Mike Flanagan told TheWrap that when the idea for "The Bent-Neck Lady" occurred to him, he started crying.
