Midnight Mass, The man behind The Haunting of Hill House is moving ahead with a new horror series. There is no doubt, the same would scare us to death. Mike Flanagan, the filmmaker, has revealed that the filming has started and is underway on Midnight Mass.
He has shared a photo, with a clapperboard. It shows the shooting of the first take.
Flanagan has been tightly lipped about the new series. There is a tiny point that has been leaked to the world.
According to Comic Book, “Midnight Mass follows an isolated island community that experiences miraculous events – and frightening omens – after the arrival of a charismatic, mysterious young priest.”
Viewers have got a glimpse of the book in 2016. The author, Maddie Young is tormented by the killer in her remote home. The book has been shown on the screen. Small tidbits are also shown with “but the 512 souls on sleep Crocket… church put Riley face to face with a terrifying secret’ visible.”
There is an additional Easter egg that is featured on the back cover of the book. It has a quote from Trevor Macy, “absolutely spine-tingling”.
Reactions of his Fans
Fans are super excited for Midnight Mass and we hope it will not take too long to reach us.
One person commented on the post, “Mike coming in to save 2020. I just hope they stay safe and can film relatively quickly because I’m starved for Flanagan content.”
Another wrote, “Right on! Can’t wait to see what you come up with. You’re an inspiration, man.”
For more information, we will have to wait. Till then let’s get excited for Flanagan’s next project that is The Haunting of Bly Manor.
Midnight Mass, a follow-up
While speaking on CinemaBlend’s ReelBlend podcast, Mile has explained how pandemic has halted the Hill House follow up.
He said, “I don’t expect it to be delayed one bit. We didn’t really miss a step, believe it or not. We had already wrapped before the whole COVID shutdown hit all the productions.
“We had a couple of weeks where we had to kind of figure out how to continue post remotely. But my post team also, you know, where I’ve been with now, my whole career, they cracked it real fast and we’ve been doing everything on these virtual sessions.”
“I think Netflix, they haven’t announced when it’s coming out. They’ve got their own plan. But we’ve been jamming through the post. It’s been going great. It’s definitely later this year. It’s not going to get kicked off into 2021, or anything. Everything’s on schedule. I’m really excited for you guys to see it,” he continued.
The first season focussed Hill House while the second season is set in Bly Manor. It will be different from the first.
