Loved 'Midnight Mass'? Here Are 3 More Shows From the Creator Mike Flanagan That Haunt the Same
Midnight Mass arrived like a beautifully unsettling sermon delivered in the dead of night, reminding viewers that horror can be philosophical, emotional, and even spiritual. The series stood out due to the ingenious mind of Mike Flanagan, whose talent for turning trauma into storytelling gold is undeniable. From Father Paul’s unnerving charm to the terrifyingly calm monologues of Bev Keane, every twist felt like a divine punch to the soul. Flanagan made faith frightening, and that brilliance leads us directly to what comes next.
For those chasing the same glorious terror, Mike Flanagan’s other chilling shows await.

The Haunting of Hill House stands as Mike Flanagan’s remarkable breakthrough, proving that horror can be emotionally devastating without losing its nerve-shredding suspense. The Crain family’s misery is so rich in heartbreak that audiences may require therapy and a flashlight. Every ghost and memory reminds viewers that family reunions are terrifying even without supernatural interference.
What elevates this series is its exploration of grief as a permanent houseguest. Mike Flanagan blends hidden phantoms, fractured relationships, and childhood trauma into a narrative that sneaks into the subconscious like an unwanted lullaby. Watching the siblings return to Hill House feels like witnessing group therapy, but with significantly more screaming, making it one of the horror shows that are too grim for a challenge.
2. The Fall of the House Usher
The Fall of the House of Usher is Mike Flanagan’s deliciously sinister adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe, now reimagined in a corporate battlefield where morality is a discontinued product. Roderick Usher, the pharmaceutical tycoon, confesses his family’s sins as his heirs die one by one. The narration dances through timelines like a very haunted scrapbook.
The series brims with familiar Flanagan performers, a cunning lawyer, a mysterious woman named Verna, and pharmaceutical greed so potent it could qualify as a controlled substance. Each episode cleverly references Poe classics, ensuring literary fans feel smug. If Midnight Mass questioned faith, this one gleefully prosecutes capitalism itself.
3. The Midnight Club
The Midnight Club is Mike Flanagan’s gentle introduction to existential dread for audiences who are not quite ready for full emotional devastation. Based on Christopher Pike’s young adult novels, it follows terminally ill teenagers in a 1990s hospice who tell spooky tales each night, balancing fear with fragile hope. Naturally, death keeps interrupting story time.

What begins as a storytelling club becomes a supernatural investigation, complete with a cult, unanswered questions, and ghostly hints that the pact for life after death might actually work. Like Midnight Mass, the show debates mortality with sincerity, but leaves room for humor, friendship, and a small possibility of a happy ending, however temporary.
