Horror icon Mike Flanagan has locked down the record for most jumpscares in a single episode of television with TheMidnightClub.
If you are worried that Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong’s The Midnight Club might not be scary enough due to its young adult story, you might want to check again and make sure your living room lights are working. That’s because the upcoming Netflix series has broken the record for most scripted jumpscares in a single TV episode.
During a panel at New York Comic Con moderated by Collider’s own Perri Nemiroff, The Midnight Club crew received a certificate presented by official Guinness World Record Adjudicator Andrew Glass. So, there is indeed a document proving that Flanagan overdid himself and squeezed twenty-one jumpscares in a single episode of The Midnight Club. That shouldn’t be surprising, though, as the upcoming show is about a group of terminal patients sharing spooky stories when the clock rings at midnight.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Flanagan is currently one of the most important voices in contemporary horror, with a spotless career marked by movies and TV shows that use the supernatural to deal with human issues. While the filmmaker is famous for creating deeply emotional horror stories, he’s also known for his masterfully-executed jumpscares, which blend into the narrative to give us an adrenaline rush and keep us glued to the back of our chairs.
The Midnight Club's main cast comprises Iman Benson, Adia, Igby Rigney, Ruth Codd, Aya Furukawa, Annarah Cymone, William Chris Sumpter, and Sauriyan Sapkota. The series also stars Matt Biedel, Larsen Thompson, William B. Davis, Crystal Balint, Patricia Drake, Heather Langenkamp, Zach Gilford, Samantha Sloyan, and Rahul Kohli.
