WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ‘THE MIDNIGHT CLUB’ 

Netflix released a new horror series – The Midnight Club on Friday 7 October which is adapted from the work of Christopher Pike. The 10-episode series is set at a hospice called Rotterdam Home, a hospice where a group of terminally ill teenagers go to die. 

The teenagers secretly at midnight tell horror stories. One night they make a pact: The first of them to die would make every effort to contact the others from beyond the grave.

“At a hospice with a mysterious history, the eight members of the Midnight Club meet each night at midnight to tell sinister stories – and to look for signs of the supernatural from the beyond,” reads the logline of the series according to Netflix.

“A new horror series from Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy’s Intrepid Pictures (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass), and Leah Fong, based on the creative work of bestselling author Christopher Pike,” reads the logline.
