The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan drops a spine-chilling teaser trailer for his new horror anthology, The Midnight Club.
The trailer introduced the characters and gave a glimpse of what to expect from the new series. The statements made in the preview gave away the theme of the story. From the living to the dead, the seen and the unseen, the video hinted at blink-and-you-will-miss-it silhouettes of strange creatures.
What Is The Midnight Club?
Based on the 1994 novel by Christopher Pike, The Midnight Club is brimming with spooky ambiance and gloomy settings. The story follows seven terminally ill young people who reside in the Rotterdam House. The place is run by a mysterious doctor (played by scream queen icon Heather Langenkamp) who will serve as their host.
Langenkamp is famous for her role in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). She also appeared in the 1994’s Wes Craven’s New Nightmare with the very frightening Freddy Krueger. Her role in The Midnight Club will mark her return to the live-action horror scene.
The youngsters will make their rounds of sharing scary stories at midnight, and they made a pact that whoever goes first and succumbs to their fatal illness shall haunt the living. The consequence of this deal was not something they all expected.
More Horror Anthologies Coming To Netflix
It was announced in May 2020 that Flanagan would work on The Midnight Club. The creator of the show said that it was a dream come true for him. “It is an honor to introduce a new generation of young horror fans to the world of Christopher Pike,” he added.
Pike also wrote the Chain Letter series, which brought him immense popularity in the genre of young adult horror fiction. Fans have already guessed that some of his other works will also be included in The Midnight Club anthology series.
