Did You Know In MIDNIGHT MASS…

That the show has many nods to the work of popular author Stephen King? Midnight Mass is a terrifying miniseries from the director of fellow Netflix fright-fest ‘The Haunting of Hill House’, Mike Flanagan. In the first episode of Midnight Mass, a copy of Stephen King’s ‘Salem’s Lot’ can be seen on the bookshelf of Riley’s childhood bedroom, while a copy of King’s other famous novel ‘The Dark Tower’ can also be seen in the room. Flanagan has spoken of his admiration for King’s literary work and the appearance of these masterpieces of literary fiction in Midnight Mass shines a light on the narrative inspiration for the show. In Salem’s Lot, a mysterious town finds that it has been unknowingly inhabited by vampires, while the Dark Tower features a vampire-hunting priest.

Loved Midnight mass and it had the exact same vibe as the 1979 version of Salem's lot.

King's influence is all over Flannagan's projects. It's very evident to anyone who's a fan of King's work.

[donovanphillips]

No shit it has king references. Flannagan’s a massive King fan who has directed multiple successful adaptations, wants to do the dark tower series, and has gotten praise from the man himself.

Crockett also reminded me a lot of Little Tall Island from Storm of the Century

When we first see Riley's dad, he is on the couch reading Revival.

While I enjoyed midnight mass, I felt the ending was a little rushed.

Just discovered this piece of cinematic art in story telling 4 days ago thks to tic tok, ....

The priest from the dark tower is literally the priest from salems lot. Someone didn’t read the dark tower…

[pamelalansbury]

Everything Flanagan does feels like it’s a Stephen King fanfic.

[wesleydraves]

Well the priest in the Dark Tower is from the ‘Salem’s lot novel but he ran away from the town of ‘Salem’s lot after witnessing Kurt Barlow kill Mark Petrie’s being utterly horrified

[kendrom]

I love Stephen King’s stories, but I gotta say, I think Midnight Mass was better than Salem’s Lot.

[twistedelegance_]

Lol did you know? It's basically a copy paste job.

[benmcneely]

Midnight mass was 70% whiny monologues lol

[davidjeffreys]

It wanted to be Salems Lot but really was a rip off of 30 Days Of Night

[adrianmargean]

"terrifying" 😂 what a joke. It's a snore fest.

[bleachedout]

It started good but then the show just got boring.

[JordanAnastasio]

The dark tower has nothing to do with a "vampire hunting priest"
