Introduction

Imagine being a teenager, facing the end of your life, and choosing to spend your final days telling ghost stories by candlelight. Netflix’s The Midnight Club blends supernatural chills with the emotional depth of a hospice drama — something no horror series has dared before.

Created by the master of modern horror Mike Flanagan (known for The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, and Midnight Mass), this series is not just scary — it’s deeply human.

📖 Plot Summary

💬 Each episode features a unique horror tale, mirroring the fears and regrets of the characters. As the mystery of the hospice unfolds, the line between life, death, and the paranormal begins to blur.

👁️ The Horror Beyond Ghosts
