Mike Flanagan’s ‘Midnight Mass’ Is Tied to a Stephen King Horror Miniseries

Mike Flanagan has certainly cemented his place within the horror community in the last decade. From his first major picture, Oculus, to his first big hit Netflix series, The Haunting of Hill House, his work has captivated many with his well-crafted scares. Flanagan's 2021 series Midnight Mass, which might be his best yet, shows just how much he knows about the craft. Everything about the series is beautiful and haunting, from the amazing cast, and the practical effects, to the story at its center. Flanagan knows how to scare us — he learned from one of the best and even improved on it. Flanagan has cited the 1999 Stephen King TV miniseries, Storm of the Century, as an influence while making Midnight Mass, and one doesn't have to look far to see where the inspiration came from.
