Guinness world record by The Midnight Club

What makes a horror movie more thriller and gets you goosebumps yes it’s Jump Scares which are great to use in movies, series, or in real-life events to get you some spooky feelings. Mike Finangem’s series just broke a Guinness world record, with 21 scripted Jump scares in a single episode of television history.

so Mike Flanagan broke the Guinness World Record for jump scares in a single episode (21!) in The Midnight Club (mostly so he’d never have to make a jump scare ever again) pic.twitter.com/JJS8PKpGWv

Yes, you read it right the premiere episode of The midnight club named “The Final Chapter” has the most jump scares in television history. Although Mike Flanagan himself doesn’t like jump scares at all.

Novel Reference

In May 2020, A series adaptation was announced of Christopher Pike’s young adult novel. The Series will be created for Netflix by Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong. In an interview for IGN, Flanagan revealed that he was profoundly inspired by Nickelodeon’s horror anthology series Are You Afraid of the Dark?

On the series’ released in October 2022, Flanagan confirmed that the series would also adapt all “28 books” of Pike’s, having pitched the series as “‘The Midnight Club’ — but the stories that teenagers tell are based on other Christopher Pike books”, He is also planning for multiple seasons.

Is there will be a second season?

One obvious question that we all have is whether there will be a second installment to the horror series. We sure have higher chances to have more installments in the series, Finger Crossed.

Mike Flanagan wants this series to be explored more and wants to add more installments to it. As viewer also shows interest and sure we do have lots of questions, about the dark history of the Hospice which I think will be answered in the second season.

Conclusion:

The conclusion of this series is that it is a decent series to watch, you really need some patience to watch the full series, as it sometimes drags the series. As for now, the series is not that scary. There are some things and questions, which I think will make more sense in the second season. As it will explain some of our questions and make more sense of some points which are left unexplained in this series.
