Horror fans have been blessed with a bold new generation of Scream Queens, from “Wednesday” star Jenna Ortega to Mia Goth of “X” and “Pearl,” to “Yellowjackets” stars Jasmin Savoy Brown and Sophie Thatcher, not to mention the women of “Fear Street,” Stranger Things” and Mike Flanagan’s deliciously spooky “Haunting of…” Netflix series.
Here’s some of our favorite final girls — and vicious villains — from recent horror films and TV series.

Mike Flanagan’s final series for Netflix is “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and it’s available to stream now. The limited eight-episode series is based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, and that is reflected in every facet of the series, right down to its production design.
In the series, “Ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege, and power. But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth.”
The Usher family is played by Bruce Greenwood (Roderick Usher), Mary McDonnell (Madeline Usher), Henry Thomas (Frederick Usher), T’Nia Miller (Victorine Lafourcade), Samantha Sloyan (Tamerlane Usher), Rahul Kohli (Napoleon “Leo” Usher), Kate Siegel (Camille L’Espanaye), Sauriyan Sapkota (Prospero “Perry” Usher), Kyliegh Curran (Lenore Usher), and Zach Gilford and Willa Fitzgerald as young Roderick and Madeline respectively.

Mike Flanagan brings back several of his favorite actors for his new Netflix series “The Fall of the House of Usher,” including wife Kate Siegel, Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood and Henry Thomas. You’ll also recognize several cast members from the canceled-too-soon “Midnight Club” and a few from the film “Doctor Sleep” and the limited series “Midnight Mass.”
And you might need help keeping track of who’s who within the Usher family, headed up by Roderick and Madeleine Usher. Flanagan drew on various Edgar Allan Poe writings for this macabre tale, including the title story, as well as “The Masque of the Red Death,” “The Raven” and “The Pit and the Pendulum.”

Among the glut of programming that has either documented the ills of the pharmaceutical industry (Hulu’s “Dopesick” and Netflix’s “Painkiller”) or the rotted core of the uber rich one wouldn’t necessarily expect another iteration to come from Netflix’s horror TV impresario Mike Flanagan. Even more surprising would be that such an allegory would be grafted onto the stories of Edgar Allan Poe.
It’s a bit of a curious and bold gambit on paper — a limited series that loosely bases each episode off of a different Poe work (its title comes from a Poe story of the same name), all of which adds up to a big pharma horror parable — but who better to pull it off than Flanagan?

Creator Mike Flanagan’s latest and final series collaboration with Netflix, “The Fall of the House of Usher,” takes on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Much like “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” Flanagan’s latest uses a classic short story as the central narrative framework to remix a variety of Poe’s macabre poems and short stories but with Flanagan’s signature pathos. Unlike previous Netflix series, “The Fall of the House of Usher” eschews the familiar melancholy and dials up the gallows humor for a twisted tale that’s unafraid to get grisly.
In the process, however, it’s less effective at organically adapting Poe.
Like the source story, “The Fall of the House of Usher” begins with Auguste Dupin (Carl Lumbly) called to a crumbling estate for a final meeting with the deteriorating Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood). With time drawing to a close and haunted by horrific...

Elizabeth Thatcher has come a long way since she arrived in Hope Valley. When Hallmark Channel viewers first met the When Calls the Heart character, the privileged young woman had traded her comfortable big-city life for a teaching job on the Canadian frontier. She had no idea what she was in for, but she soon came to embrace the small town and the people who lived there, including Constable Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing), with whom she fell in love.
Since then, Elizabeth (played by Erin Krakow) has experienced her share of joys and sorrows, including the death of her husband and the birth of her son, Little Jack. Now, nearly a decade after When Calls the Heart premiered, she’s embarking on a new adventure by preparing to marry her new love, Lucas Bouchard (Chris McNally) in the show’s 10th season. Meanwhile, Hope Valley and its residents have changed as well.

Even though the fireplace has been extinguished, the stories explored in Netflix’s “The Midnight Club” live on.
Co-creator and executive producer Mike Flanagan has made good on his promise to unfold the mysteries set up in the first season of the YA thriller series following its cancellation by the streamer, which TheWrap exclusively reported on Thursday. Flanagan and Trevor Macy’s Intrepid Pictures have been behind several beloved horror-tinged Netflix series, including “The Haunting of Hill House,” “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and “Midnight Mass,” as a result of their overall deal (now wrapping up as they head to Amazon Studios), but “The Midnight Club” marked the first show designed to be ongoing.
“My biggest disappointment is that we left so many story threads open, holding them back for the hypothetical second season, which is always a gamble,” he wrote in a Tumblr post. “So I’m writing this...

The news broke just yesterday that Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy‘s Intrepid Pictures has inked a new series deal with Amazon Studios, meaning Flanagan and Macy are no longer making horror shows for Netflix. The duo’s series projects will exclusively stream on Prime Video going forward, but what does that mean for a potential “The Midnight Club” Season 2?
The Christopher Pike-based horror series, which debuted this past Halloween season, will not be receiving a second season, Deadline confirms in a new report this morning.
Deadline notes of the Flanagan and Leah Fong-created series, “It’s all over for “The Midnight Club” on Netflix, as the young adult series has been canceled after one season.”

Mike Flanagan’s long-awaited adaptation of The Midnight Club has finally made its way to Netflix. Geared at a slightly younger audience, the series is an adaptation of Christopher Pike‘s novel about five teenagers living out their final days at Brightcliffe Manor, a hospice for terminal youth. Each night they gather in the ornate library to tell scary stories, creating ghosts as they wait to become them. At just over 200 pages, the slim novel is a moving story of love, friendship, and death; perfect for Flanagan’s patented blend of sentimental horror.
True to form, the writer and director, along with co-creator Leah Fong, injected the original story with new characters, amplified plotlines, and extra moments of terror, expanding the narrative to deepen Pike’s original themes.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Season 1 of The Midnight Club.] The Midnight Club may have yet to receive a Season 2 renewal, but co-creator Mike Flanagan is already thinking about the future of the series inspired by the works of author Christopher Pike. As readers of Pike’s books may have realized, Season 1 utilizes one of his stories as the frame for the show, and each night when a group of sick teens convenes at the Brightcliffe hospice’s library to tell tales, they’re based on other entries from the writer. And while setting a series at a hospice home for young people may seem pretty hopeless, Flanagan is envisioning a more hopeful outcome for the characters fans have come to know. (Credit: Eike Schroter/Netflix) In Pike’s original book, all of the teens in the story die, and although Flanagan wouldn’t say if that’s the plan for The Midnight Club, he did address...

And if you haven’t tuned in, now is a good time to stop reading because we’re delving into spoiler territory.

Although the show hasn’t been renewed for Season 2, Flanagan has confirmed The Midnight Club was written for television with the intent of continuing the story.

The co-creator, writer, and director has collaborated with fellow executive producer Trevor Macy on several past projects ranging from The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor to 2021’s impactful Midnight Mass. They’ve also worked on Oculus, Gerald’s Game, Hush, and The Shining sequel Doctor Sleep.

It makes sense why Christopher Pike’s 1994 novel, The Midnight Club, would appeal to Mike Flanagan. Its esoteric ruminations on death and storytelling feel like a natural extension of themes explored in Midnight Mass, only for a younger audience in mind. Series creators Flanagan and Leah Fong repurpose some of Pike’s prolific catalog, using The Midnight Club as a centerpiece, to explore what it means to live and die through stories.

Watchers beware because Mike Flanagan‘s next horror series The Midnight Club is already breaking world records. During the show’s panel at New York Comic Con, it was revealed that the show has broken the world record for most scripted jump scares in a single television episode.

Talk about edge-of-the-bed frights. The Midnight Club follows eight ill teens living in a hospice run by the secretive Dr. Stanton (A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Heather Langenkamp). The kids make a pact: The first to die will haunt the others in their creepy, exclusive club. To pass the time, they tell each other terrifying tales — always at the stroke of midnight. (Credit: Eike Schroter/Netflix) “Each of these kids has a lot to be scared of,” teases Trevor Macy, exec producer alongside producing partner Mike Flanagan — the team behind Netflix’s gothic-based hits The Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor. What drew the duo to the newer spooky classic, Christopher Pike’s 1994 young-adult horror The Midnight Club? Pike, a prolific cult favorite, is a huge influence, says Macy. “If you were trying to draw a line between R.L. Stine and Stephen King, it’s hard to do it without going through Pike.

Based on the YA horror novels of Christopher Pike, the anthology series features a different tale of terror in each episode — as told via a group of terminally ill teens who make a pact: the first one of them to die will try 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 series’ synopsis.

Resident Alien -Pictured: Alan Tudyk as Harry Vanderspeigle — (Photo by: Eike Shroter/Syfy) Midway through its second season on SyFy, Resident Alien has definitely found its groove, as the series — starring Alan Tudyk as an alien tasked with extinguishing the human race who finds himself stuck in a small Colorado town while he struggles to complete his mission — continues to get strong reviews from critics and love from the network, which has already renewed it for a third season. As we’ve gotten to know Tudyk’s character better, we’ve seen him slip into his alien tongue on a number of occasions. It’s been fun for both Tudyk and the show’s creator and executive producer, Chris Sheridan; they told us the show’s scripts often allow for improvisation, especially when it comes to his native language, and it’s been interesting to watch it evolve.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Midnight Mass.] Forget the ghosts (or vampires). What’s truly haunting about Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and The Haunting of Hill House are the love stories. In each of Mike Flanagan’s Netflix shows are lovers who don’t make it to “happily ever after,” would-be romances that never were, and perhaps most frighteningly, whirlwind affairs that mistake possession for genuine affection. These tales of passion gone wrong offer frights deeper than any jump scare, and they had us wiping away tears, too. Here we’ve ranked them from least to most devastating—although really, they’re all pretty sad. 8. Rebecca and Peter (The Haunting of Bly Manor) Eike Schroter/Netflix Saddest quote: “You left! After the water came into my lungs, you just left.… This isn’t what you said. I didn’t agree.” There’s no denying it: While their story is a large part...

An isolated island falls prey to evils both human and unholy in the genuinely scary horror drama, Midnight Mass, written and directed by Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor). The seven-part tale opens with prodigal son Riley Flynn (Friday Night Lights alum Zach Gilford) returning to his coastal home of Crockett Island after a prison stint for causing a fatal DUI crash. At the same time, the community is visited by Father Paul (Hamish Linklater), a new priest filling in for their ailing pastor. (Credit: Eike Schroter/Netflix) As miracles — or would that be omens? — begin to occur, the locals zealously flock back to church, while Riley, his childhood friend Erin, and an ostracized sheriff (Rahul Kohli) begin to suspect they may be witnessing the unimaginable…and otherworldly. “It’s about faith versus fanaticism,” teases Siegel, who’s careful to avoid any ...

Netflix is giving viewers a deeper look at Mike Flanagan‘s Midnight Mass ahead of its September 24 premiere with a brand new trailer. The first look teases plenty of Flanagan’s hallmark horror elements as the story tracks Riley Flynn’s (Zach Gilford) return to the small isolated community known as Crockett Island. He is welcomed back with mixed reactions in the trailer, below, as he grapples with a dark event from his past. (Credit: Eike Schroter/Netflix) While the town readjusts to Riley’s presence, his return coincides with the arrival of the charismatic priest, Father Paul (Hamish Linklater). But there’s something seemingly insidious about the religious figure who makes way for several perplexing miracles, one of which is willing a paralyzed girl to gain full mobility during one of his services. The events reignite a religious fervor within the community begging viewers to ask the question of...

This week’s entry into the field is The Haunting of Bly Manor, a spiritual sequel to 2018’s Haunting of Hill House.
