Netflix and Mike Falanagan have both done it again

Mike Flanagan’s &#8216;The Midnight Club&#8217; on Netflix Showered With Positive Reviews, as the Emotional Horror Drama Claims a Guinness World Record

We have all made stupid but heartwarming promises when we were kids; be it
promising to meet at the treehouse when you grow up or raising a 5 feet tall
cactus plant. But have you made a promise to your friends to contact them after
your demise? Probably not, because you are not the kids in Mike Flanagan’s
Guinness World Record-winning horror Netflix series, The Midnight Club.

Flanagan once again proves if there is someone who can make the most ordinary of
activities into a brilliant horror mystery thriller masterpiece that could get
the world talking, it is him. After The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight
Mass, Flanagan brings to us a Netflix series about teenagers inside Rotterdam
Home hospice who like telling spooky stories at midnight. The ten-episode-long
Netflix series is sure to blow you away not just with its jump scare but also
the fear-inducing brilliant horror screenplay.


WHAT IS MICHAEL FLANAGAN’S NEW HORROR SHOW ABOUT?

The Watcher, The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself, and Unsolved Mysteries
Volume 3 are among a few of Netflix’s spooky Halloween decorations this year.
And looks like The Midnight Club is the scariest pumpkin carving out there. The
show is set up in the 90s when Yahoo was the preferred search engine and the
heavy television with a keyboard was the latest technology.

The series has Michael Flanagan’s trademark on it as he has contributed as both
the showrunner and producer of the series. It is based on Christopher Pike’s
with the same name. And we all saw in Gerald’s Game how Flanagan can pull
wonders when it comes to a book-to-movie adaptation.

The series follows Ilonka, whose plans to go to Stanford get interrupted by a
thyroid cancer diagnosis. This leads her to a hospice called Brightcliffe, where
she meets more kids like her. Contrary to the name and the kind smiles of the
doctors, the hospice is anything but.


NETFLIX SHOW THE MIDNIGHT CLUB GETS RAVING REVIEWS

The series directed by Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong stars and is also aimed at
young adults. The plot of the show, albeit scary and full of jump scares, will
be easily brushed off if you are a horror fanatic. But if you are a young adult
or just testing the waters in the horror genre, then this one is definitely for
you. With brilliant performances by the cast and a layered storyline, the show
is definitely Netflix’s best horror release this year.

This is why it doesn’t come as a shock that it has scored a Guinness World
Record. If you have watched the series, then you already know for what. The
Midnight Club has scored a Guinness World Record for the most jump scares in a
single episode. The creators ironically put in a jump scare WHILE the characters
talk about how jump scares are lazy. Check it out for yourself on Netflix

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
