The Midnight Club: Cast and Plot!
Flanagan generally likes to work with the same group of actors in many of his projects. While “The Midnight Club” is another example of this, showcasing a handful of actors from his past projects and upcoming works like “Midnight Mass,” many members of the main cast are new faces.
Based on the 1994 novel of the same name, “The Midnight Club” will tell the story of a group of terminally ill teenagers living together at a hospice-like place called Rotterdam Home. Each midnight, the group meets together, to tell scary stories to one another. During one of these horror-filled nights, the group makes a pact stating that whichever one of them dies first, they must do everything they can in the afterlife to contact them in the land of the living.
