As reported by Tv Insider, Mike stated that "This is particularly important to me because I hate jumpscares. My whole career, people have been like, put more jump scares in and do them faster."
He further added, "I hate them ¡¯cause I feel like it¡¯s very easy to walk up behind somebody and smash things."
According to Flanagan, the series?based on the works of Christopher Pike included so many jump scares in one episode in the hopes that they would be "rendered meaningless" and "just ruin it and kill eventually till it's dead."
The Midnight Club book by Christopher Pike served as an inspiration for the series creators, Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong. The Zander family, who make a fortune by scamming people out of money by pretending to be in touch with their deceased loved ones, are the focus of the 1967 Los Angeles suburb setting. The Ouija board was added to their seances as a new gimmick by Alice, who is struggling to make ends meet.?
She is unaware that an evil spirit that had taken possession of her youngest daughter, Doris, was contacted as a result of using the message board. The film looks at how the family interacts as they strive to work together, frequently at one another's expense.
Starring Heather Langenkamp, Iman Benson, Igby Rigney, Adia, Aya Furukawa, Sauriyan Sapkota, Annarah Cymone, Chris Sumpter, and Ruth Codd, The Midnight Club premieres its ten-episode first season on Friday on Netflix.
