<![CDATA[This study examines the representation of intergenerational trauma in the Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House (2018). The research focuses on how trauma is represented not only through dialogue and character development, but also through visual elements, artistic properties, and supernatural figures that symbolically reflect psychological wounds within the Crain family. This study uses a qualitative approach with Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis, especially the concepts of denotation, connotation, and myth. The object of this research is several key scenes in the series that show the transmission of trauma from parents to children. The findings show that intergenerational trauma in the series is represented through emotional manipulation, silence, overprotection, gaslighting, and unresolved family pain that continue to shape the adult lives of the Crain children. The series presents ghosts, rooms, objects, and spatial settings not merely as horror devices, but as symbolic forms of inherited trauma. This research concludes that The Haunting of Hill House successfully uses horror as a medium to communicate complex family trauma in a way that is emotionally strong, visually layered, and socially relevant.]]>
