The father, Roderick, is also the same actor who played Captain Christopher Pike in the most recent Star Trek films.

[@Acimaro]

Henry Thomas and Zach Gilford playing father and son in Midnight Mass and son and father in Fall of House Usher is so funny

[@justinehercthehuman]

OMG I'M GONNA EXPLODE WITH HAPPINESS. WE'RE HERE ALREADY?!?!

[@rini6]

All the tales of Poe will be familiar and come back to you when you watch this.

[@IAmJustR]

This is true. I was shocked at how many little things I recalled along the way. 🥰

[@suzannekelly2826]

Ugh, this is such a great show ..so glad you guys are reacting to this!!! And to think the actor who plays the father Roderick wasnt the first choice..No one could have portrayed it like Bruce imo

[@eighthdoctor]

Bruce Greenwood absolutely killed it in this; he was fantastic especially for being cast so late into the show when the original actor for older Roderick was fired.

[@juniorlks1]

This is by far my favorite entry into the Flanaverse. Can't wait for your reactions to all the twists and turns. And can't wait for Dark!

[@MrMin316]

This series is magnificent....All the cast, especially Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood are fantastic.

[@nope19568]

they were amazing together in geralds game so id expect no less lol

[@MrMin316]

@@nope19568 Yeah I agree.

[@rini6]

I’m so glad Dark is on your list. Hold onto your brains!

[@cindycrewsbeach72]

Get notebooks! Or make a character wall. It will add to the reaction hype!

[@marklouis1890]

You boys hit the jackpot watching this series. This was the first Flanagan series I laid my eyes on

[@Lannisen]

You should definitely watch Flanagan's films too, perhaps especially Gerald's Game which stars old Roderick here, and the wonderful Carla Gugino. And is an adaptation of a Stephen King novel.

[@horrormoviereactions]

In typical Flanagan fashion, this series is pretty flawless. For more of Father Paul, he has a storyline in the show Newsroom. That's where I saw him first. It's a great show, I would recommend it. I love that Lenore calls him "Grampus," it's really charming and it's a Poe reference. It's the name of a ship in his unfinished work about the adventures of Arthur Gordon Pym.

[@stephenpmurphy591]

This is an outstanding series!

[@wehaveadarkside]

and the actor who plays father paul will be on gen v season 2

[@screamr2d2]

Same. I love The Newsroom. That's where I knew him from as well.

[@heregellas]

And don't forget the actor who played Sturge in Midnight Mass, beardless here, playing Tamerlain's (Bev actress) boyfriend :p

[@fallingawayfromthenorm]

Him without that beard is wild, I didn’t realize it was him until I was doing my usual wiki deep dives last year lmao

[@wehaveadarkside]

the way i didnt know that was him until just now

[@jjerome5desu]

Holy cow I didn't know that lol Thank you!

[@RoroRoseD]

Wjat???? I've watched this series and yt reactions like too many times I didn't recognize him 😅

[@samantharose1144]

Lmao ahhh I can’t believe I didn’t recognize him

[@mecfstraveler]

There are also several cast members from Midnight Club in this one! Did you realize the male half of the pair of assistants working for Camille (the daughter with the platinum blonde, bob haircut) played Riley's younger brother in Midnight Mass? Also, the actress that played young Shirley in THOHH plays Madeline at the age when their mom died. I think her name's Lulu Wilson. She's in several Flanagan's shows. And Roderick's granddaughter, Lenore, is played by the child actress who played Abra in Dr. Sleep.. another Flanagan show. This one's a wild ride! Enjoy! 😊

[@ohshiitake]

I personally love Midnight Club

[@coldrains2]

Me too. Don't forget to vote for them to watch it after this.

[@aqua_baby31]

Omg finallyyyyy Y'all gonna love it! It's one of Mike Flanagan's best creations imo🥲❤

[@anonymousgirl4605]

I'm really excited about this series reaction! I hope you guys react to The Midnight Club next.

[@borntogazeintonightskies]

Yeah, the girl that's playing teenage Madeline also starred in Mike Flanagan's 2016 film "Ouija: Origin of Evil." The Ouija board planchette that Corey spotted at 11:21 is 100% a nod to that film and an easter egg for fans of Flanagan's work.

[@irishgamerkerrielouise]

My fave of Mike Flanagans series's!! Midnight mass second and then hill house. I was obsessed with this one. Edgar Allen Poe heavy. ❤

[@AmberVivicide]

FOTHOU is my absolute favorite series in the Flanaverse with Hill House being a close second. So excited we are finally here, I've been watching all your reactions waiting to get to this series ❤ I haven't noticed anyone who has reacted to this show or any comments I've ever read that realizes Verna is an anagram for Raven 🖤 I love little touches like that in writing.

[@TheOtterBear61]

That is not the actress that plays Poppy playing Madeline. Young Madeline is played by the actress that played young Shirley in Hill House.

[@wehaveadarkside]

they were talking about willa fitz tho young adult madeline not little girl madeline

[@TheOtterBear61]

@@wehaveadarkside Yes. I was talking about both.

hell yes ive been waiting for this!! hope you guys enjoy! also you guys have to watch his movies oculus, dr sleep, and geralds game, all amazing!

[@tedlagemann8561]

No spoilers but IMHO Mary McDonnell (Madeline) gives an acting masterclass in this, so subtle but so expressive.

[@screamr2d2]

She always does. Absolutely flawless. That's why she's the president.

[@Grillchips]

Y’all’s reaction to Mike Flanagan has been so fun. I think you guys should wrap it up with Midnight Club before Dark.

[@sarabearmcd9456]

Some of the characters that you haven't recognized are in Midnight Club or in Flanagan's movies. Lenore is in Dr. Sleep and Bruce Greenwood is in Gerald's Game. I say finish out Midnight Club to complete the TV side of the Flanaverse. It's much lighter. Based on a series of YA novels by Christopher Pike. Dark is SO GOOD though.

[@kellystarr-v3z]

19.40 that guy on the couch really knows how to multi task

[@tetamale4280]

@ms-literary6320 Since they haven't watched it yet I choose to not ruin the surpise of listing her or the other Flanaverse actors/actresses who star in "The Midnight Club".

[@patty1h]

Crystal Balint was in Midnight Mass - she played the mother of Leeza, the wheelchair bound girl who Father Paul got to walk again.

[@marklouis1890]

Blake has definitely bossed up. When the jester popped up outta nowhere , thought he was going to jump

[@bibigoomes]

I thought you were going to watch The Midnight Club from Flanagan's before this one, but you have to see all of them before anything else

[@MrGala0apples]

YES YES YES. I love this series so much, it’s my favourite Flanagan show. Super excited we’re finally here.

[@screamr2d2]

This really is a banger from beginning to end. I'm glad you guys are excited about it and it's cool a couple of you are familiar enough with Poe's work to at least catch a few names or details that harken back to what is arguably some of the best written word produced on American soil. Makes it even more fun watching the reactions. As for Midnight Club, I think you guys would like it. It's completely different from his other work and you'll recognize a few of people from House of Usher. Some of the younger faces get to show off their acting chops. It's worth a watch. Dark will still be there after lol.

[@afdal24fadil]

Been waiting for this !!!

[@babs9029]

Soo glad we are here…this one’s a ride..fantastic acting and Roderick’s monologues are sublime 🩷

[@ondinee4855]

Looking forward to voting for The Midnight Club on the poll when it's posted! 🧡

i don’t think Blake is ready for this Flannagan show 😂

Goth Succession, let’s goooo!

[@jaycebradley8404]

i already watched the first couple episodes on patreon but the 69 brothers thing caught me off guard AGAIN 🤣🤣🤣

[@justinehercthehuman]

I love how this show starts us with knowing who dies so that the mystery is "how do they die? and why do they need to die?"

[@Leakampff]

I think yall are REALLY gonna like this one. This is a RIDE, honestly feels like a great culmination of a lot of shat Flanagan has built with the other shows. Its fantasticccc, tnx for the reaction 🥰

Verna is the name of the mysterious woman. It's an anagram for raven. I'm only saying this because you've already noticed that she's the raven.

[@artandcard]

Verna. It's still an anagram, but not Nevar.

[@Marcus_1001]

Loved this show! I would place it third on my list of favorite Mike Flanagan series. Haunting of Hill House will always be my number one, but Midnight Mass is a pretty close second. Flanagan is truly a master of his craft. The man just knows how to tell excellent and compelling stories.

[@eddietucker7005]

I have been waiting for you to see this show. BUCKLE UP, FELLAS!!! The names of the past characters that the actors played really doesn’t matter. They are playing new characters. Maybe get to know their actual names… This is THE BEST of the Flanagan series. But guys, you TRULY have to watch “Gerald’s Game” right after this series. You’ll understand why later. Then go on to your next show. Run reaction, guys!!!

[@babygirl6054]

This is my favorite Mike show! FYI if you do Midnight club a lot of actors from this show are from this one and midnight mass. Plus Heather Langenkamp aka Nancy from Nightmare on Elm Street is in it too!

[@DarthTingleBinks]

If you want to traumatize Blake, check Mike Flanagan's Gerald's Game. And if you just want more Mike Flanagan, he's also done Before I Wake, Doctor Sleep (watch The Shining first), and Oculus. He also has an earlier film, starring frequent collaborator Katie Parker (who is maybe the most beautiful person alive), but the title eludes me. And he's set to take charge of the Exorcist franchise after the most recent movie bombed hard (and was critically panned). So you guys might check out those movies eventually. And the show, too (it's the best Exorcist anything). If you guys DO check out the Exorcist franchise, two of the movies, Exorcist: The Beginning and Dominion: The Prequel to the Exorcist, are basically the same movie. They have the same cast, the same sets, the same general plot and story, and some of the same characters. This is because there were a lot of creative differences between the director and the studio and a lot of reshoots, so they ended up shooting the movie twice, which resulted in two clearly different movies that anyone will likely confuse with one another if they try to remember what happened in them. It was an interesting production process on the film(s). And I think he's currently working on a series for Amazon, but I don't know what it is or when it's coming out.

[@ayaehab]

That was quick! LETSSS GOOO!

[@thomasbaker2067]

I enjoyed watching this show when it came out on Netflix, I can`t wait to see where you guys rank the Flanagan TV shows.

[@Arcannabis]

I just watched Doctor Sleep, and so many familiar faces. I highly recommend anyone watch that movie, it’s easily a top 5 horror movie to me.

[@coldrains2]

This! It's my favorite Flannigan movie. They are watching The Shining first, then Doctor Sleep. The Shining might be on their Patreon already. I forget the date they said.

[@IAmJustR]

This is my very favorite of the Flanaverse 🤗🤗🍿

[@DannX68]

When I first started this show I was a little meh on it, but something clicked, and I started seeing it as a satire. From then on it worked for me.

[@marklouis1890]

69 brothers is crazy lol Cojo 😂😂😂

[@jareeohs]

Anyone else enjoy getting back from walking the dog. Have the edibles kick in and then laugh at Blake wince …. I’d pay money to see him on a night walk through of the Vallisca Axe Murder House in Iowa …..

[@tetamale4280]

for me, this is my favorite Flannagan show besides Hill House, i love how take Edgar Allan Poe’s stories and make this masterpiece

[@ellaprague247]

Finally 🎉 brilliant show❤

[@rickbotic6063]

damn, idk if its the break due to the hurricane but it feels like you guys have been uploading like crazy. This is a fun one for Poe fans.

[@imanollorenzo1529]

[@andylikesstuffchannel]

Some really good character actors in this 💯

[@PeterDB90]

I actually loved Mark Hamill's performance here. I know he's very well known for playing Luke Skywalker, but I'm not a huge Star Wars fan so that doesn't mean much to me (plus those movies and therefore acting techniques in them are so outdated that it's painful to watch for me), but this is the show where I was like "whoa, Mark Hamill's a great actor!" For me it was kind of like seeing Robert Pattinson in Tenet after not knowing any of his work aside from Twilight where you think he's kind of silly as an actor and then realizing that he's actually really good if he has material to work with.

Hi guys!! I follow you from Argentina! I love Flanagan's universe but I hated "Midnight Club". In fact, I advanced the episodes because in addition to being bad and boring, it's extremely childish. For 15 year olds, basically. So I don't support you on this. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I hate that series!!😅 Ha ha ha! That being said, I love "Dark"!!! It's going to blow your minds!!!

I haven't seen Midnight Club but I've tried to watch DARK 5 different times because holy crap is it SLOW. I was finally able to soldier through season 1 with my bestie and we didn't want to start season 2. I've kept hearing great things about it at that point so I guess my expectations were high, but it felt like a pretentious performative art piece dragging out a predictable plot.
