Netflix and director Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of Christopher Pike’s The Midnight Club has kicked off filming. Flanagan announced the update on Twitter.
Check out his tweet below.
The cast including A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s Heather Langenkamp, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, William Chris Sumpter, Aya Furukawa, Annarah Shephard, and Sauriyan Sapkota. And joining them Zach Gilford, Samantha Sloyan, and Matt Biedel.
Flanagan previously tweeted: “I began brainstorming an adaptation of THE MIDNIGHT CLUB as a teenager, so this is a dream come true. It’s an honor to introduce a new generation of young horror fans to the world of Christopher Pike. Oh, and for you fellow Pike fans out there… the article is correct, we will be incorporating a lot of his books into the series. So whatever your favorite Pike book is, there’s a chance it’ll be part of the show.“
The book tells the tale of Rotterdam Home, a hospice for terminally ill teenagers where a group of patients gathers together at midnight to share scary stories. They eventually make a pact that whichever of them dies first will contact the others from beyond the grave. Moo-Haha. Elan Gale, James Flanagan, and also Chinaka Hodge will write the series which Flanagan will create with Leah Fong. Flanagan and Fong will executive produce with Trevor Macy and Julia Bicknell.
