Midnight Club

[ColinC]

Watching the Midnight Club which I thought was supposed to be part of the Midnight Mass anthology. But it seems more like a "Haunting" series. Anybody else feel that way?

1. It is not part of a trilogy

Midnight Club is based on a very popular young adult novel from the 90's by Christopher Pike.

3. Thanks!

Aside from Midnight Mass, which I understand he couldn't sell until he was already successful, his work tends to be his recreation of classic horror. Someone told me he was working on The Fall of the House of Usher. Can't wait.

2. I don't think it was supposed to be like Midnight Mass

Honestly, I don't know how you'd add to the brilliance of that series.

It just has Midnight in the title. I'm finding the premise fascinating. Who would think to set something in a hospice for teenagers? I don't think that's a spoiler. I haven't watched much of it yet, but I'm enjoying it. I love his stuff! Scary but not gory, well-written and acted.

I generally find I miss details on the first time through one of his series, but I get them on the second try. I guess that's a failing? Not to me. i love his stuff so much, I always end up watching it more than once. I practically memorized lines from Midnight Mass.

4. I loved Christopher Pike books when I was a kid, so I was really looking forward

to watching it. I did like how they incorporated other Christopher Pike books into the stories the kids told, but honestly I thought it was just okay. The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass are much better.

5. Same.

It just didn't have the same pizazz as those others.

6. I'm hoping The Fall of the House of Usher

is better.
