is the Haunting<em>. <\/em>We wrestle with that quite a bit because it would be great to do another one, but you have to be rigorous about what it is and what it isn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This discussion came about after Flanagan was asked whether The Midnight Club was ever conceived as part of the Haunting series, as The Haunting of Brightcliffe Hospice \u2013 something he said was never the case.<\/p>\n<p>He explained: \u201cOur thing with the Haunting is that we always wanted it to be primarily based on a piece of classic horror literature, and ideally something that has been adapted before that we can do something different with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we think of the Haunting, we think about authors like [Edgar Allan] Poe and [Charles] Dickens, contemporaries that are more in the Henry James, Shirley Jackson world. The other criteria with it is that it has to primarily be about ghosts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat question came up with The Fall of the House of Usher because that was based on Poe. It\u2019s just not a ghost story, and so, there\u2019s no haunting there.\u201d<\/p> <p>Flanagan\u2019s latest series, The Midnight Club, debuted on the streamer on 7th October, gaining <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/fantasy\/midnight-club-review-netflix\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">rave reviews<\/a> and even a <a href=\"\/\/deadline.com\/2022\/10\/the-midnight-club-now-guiness-world-records-holder-1235137919\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Guinness World Record<\/a> for the most scripted jump scares in a single episode of TV.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Midnight Club is available to stream on <a href=\"\/\/www.netflix.com\/gb\/title\/81112336&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Netflix<\/a> now. <a title=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/gb\/&quot;\" href=\"\/\/www.netflix.com\/gb\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Sign up for Netflix from \u00a36.99 a month<\/a>.
