The Midnight Club Breaks World Record for Jump Scares
Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong’s new Netflix series The Midnight Club has achieved a Guinness World Record for the most jump scares in one episode, with a total of 21 scares. The series, based on Christopher Pike’s ’90s horror books, is filled with spooky stories that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Plot Summary and Characters
The Midnight Club follows a group of eight young people living at a palliative care facility called Brightcliffe Hospice. Each night, they gather in the library to share chilling stories they’ve created, revealing more about themselves and trying to scare each other. One particularly intense story in episode 1 involves a school girl ghost who constantly jump scares a boy, leading to a total of 17 scares in rapid succession.
In a self-aware moment, the character Spencer calls out the use of jump scares, emphasizing the difference between true horror and mere startles. The series delves into themes of death and fear, offering a unique and deeply moving horror experience.
For those sensitive to jump scares, it may be wise to adjust the volume during certain scenes of The Midnight Club.
