If you have a shelf full of Pike books at home (or in your mom's attic), you'll likely remember the narratives as they conjure up some major nostalgia. Some are close to the source material, and others are more riffs on the book's major themes distilled for the series. Each one is used as individual stories that the terminal teens tell one another in their secret society meetings at Brightcliffe Home hospice. Wanting to honor even more of Pike's large library of beloved titles, the pair got the rights to include several more of Pike's books and fold those stories into the main spine of the series. Time and fate finally caught up to the dream, as Flanagan and his producing partner Trevor Macy turned The Midnight Club into a Netflix series for Netflix which premiered on Oct.
He got nowhere with the right but he never gave up. In fact, one of those readers was writer/director Mike Flanagan ( Midnight Mass) who, as a college grad, wanted to adapt Pike's 1994 novel, The Midnight Club, into a movie. If you're a Gen Xer or Millennial, there's a good chance you grew up reading the YA novels of Christopher Pike. His horror and thriller titles, like Slumber Party (1985), Witch (1990), and The Visitor (1995), amongst many others, were books that transitioned generations of young readers into the more adult worlds of Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Anne Rice.
