Flanagan confirmed in a tweet that she was starring in the series as “an enigmatic doctor who runs the hospice” at which the titular young group stay.
Heather Langenkamp is best known for playing Nancy Thompson in Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street cast in 1984. There are also plenty of newcomers to the Flanagan Family in the Midnight Club cast, the most exciting of which has the honor of being called one of the greatest Scream Queens in the history of horror movies.

In recurring roles, we have Crystal Ballint (who played Cymone’s onscreen mother, Dolly), Zach Gilford (who played Rigney’s brother, Riley), Matt Biedel (who played Sturge), and Patricia Drake (who had a small role as Crockett Island native Joanie).
However, the filmmaker did enlist some familiar faces from his Midnight Mass cast to return for this new series.Īnnarah Cymone and Igby Rigney, whose young Midnight Mass characters are Leeza Scarborough and Warren Flynn, are series regulars in The Midnight Club cast. Obviously, Flanagan’s upcoming adaptation of Pike’s classic novel will have no canonical ties to his recent limited series about strange occurrences happening to an island community’s local parish. After three different standalone series, I guess I just was not expecting to be left hanging like this.(Image credit: Netflix) Several Midnight Mass Cast Members Appear In The Midnight Club Cast But because Flanagan wanted to build this out into a multi-season story, unlike all his other past work, we do not get firm answers to most of the questions regarding the hospice or its former inhabitants or its ghosts, and we’re supposed to pray the unpredictable Netflix greenlights a season 2. I would have preferred the show skip the “scary stories to tell in the dark” bits and just focused on the lore of the original hospice building, which seems a lot more interesting than anything we find in the stories themselves. Only two really stand out to me, the first story which Flanagan uses as a genuinely funny parody of horror jump scares, and then later, The Road to Nowhere, which is used as a tale to recount one teen’s suicide attempt, and that was genuinely moving. I understand what Flanagan is trying to do adapting a bunch of the different short horror stories, but I’d say practically none of them land for me, and many are broken up awkwardly into different parts across different episodes. Fundamentally I don’t really like the structure of this series.
