More information about the midnight club
The series is created by Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong, who are fans of Pike’s work, which rose to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s. Aside from the midnight club, Pike has written several other books, including Remember me, whisper of death Y Bewitched.
According to Netflix:
“Flanagan approached Pike with the idea of adapting the midnight club. Pike, who serves as the show’s executive producer, read the early scripts and worked with Flanagan to choose the scary stories the club members would tell.”
Although the book provides the framework for the series, many of the stories its members tell come from other Pike novels. Their names are in the relevant episode titles: the wicked heart, kiss Me, Witch, See you later, road to nowhere Y the eternal enemy.
Flanagan, Fong and Pike are the show’s executive producers along with Trevor Macy and Julia Bicknell.
