Mike Flanagan is helming a television adaptation of Christopher Pike’s The Midnight Club.
The 1994 novel is heading to Netflix from The Haunting of Hill House and its upcoming follow-up The Haunting of Bly Manor creator, Flanagan.
Flanagan confirmed the news on Twitter. “I began brainstorming an adaptation of THE MIDNIGHT CLUB as a teenager, so this is a dream come true,” he wrote. “It’s an honor to introduce a new generation of young horror fans to the world of Christopher Pike.”
According to Variety, the show will also incorporate Pike’s other works. “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,” Flanagan added.
The Midnight Club follows a group of teenagers at a hospice for terminally ill who gather at midnight to share scary stories. The teenagers eventually make a pact that whichever one of them dies first will contact the others from beyond the grave.
