What is the series about?

The story develops around an isolated island. After a young man and a charismatic priest enter the village, the community experiences miraculous events and frightening omens.

Father Paul forces many people from the community to lead the life of vampirism. Midnight Mass becomes a big thing for the community. The vampires of Crockett Island go on a hunt for new food. They kill or turn people into vampires who do not attend the latest Midnight Mass.

Making of Midnight Mass

Flanagan got the idea of creating Midnight Mass back from his childhood. Once he served as an altar boy at the Church where he found about the supernatural ideas in the Bible. Demons, vampires, angels, and a priest are all connected to Bible.

Netflix released a video on its YouTube channel where the creators spoke about how the idea was generated and got implemented. Mike Flanagan himself narrated the incidents that led to the characters’ development. Interestingly, he mentions that he feels Riley is his avatar in the story from back in the days when he used to drink.

Flanagan also told Vanity Fair, “It’s impossible to separate the Bible as a book from horror literature. It has everything in there. It’s overtly and unapologetically espousing supernatural, horrific events left and right. Even the hero of the story — God, the embodiment of love — drowns the world when he gets angry enough in the Old Testament.”
