Hearing Bly Manor described as a "failure" sent a sad chill up my spine 😭 It's one of my personal favourites of his library.

I may not love everything he puts out but Flanagan is by far one of my favorite new voices in the horror genre . Hill House and Bly Manor will always have my heart

I am the person riding hard for Midnight Mass online 🤣 I’m not sure if a piece of media has ever spoke to me on such a personal level. My religious trauma and death anxiety felt so seen 🤣 Even the hymns used were ones I grew up singing!

@andresgonzalez407 3 years ago

Watched Midnight Mass together with my mom and we were both crying at the end, talking about what death meant to us. Surely a very special memory and a great series.
Great dive as always!

Im not sure if anyone else mentioned, but fun fact that Mike Flanagan tries to have the Occulus mirror make a cameo in all his projects since, somewhat like Sam Raimi's car does.

I'm a FlanaStan but Midnight Mass is the best show I've ever seen. Not just horror show, but show, period. Masterpiece.

I first saw Karen Gillan on Doctor Who back in 2009/2010. That’s where she got her breakthrough and she uses her normal accent in the show. It’s always fun to see people’s reactions to finding out she’s Scottish because I was shocked when I found out how good her American accent was 😂

@Krysten_now 3 years ago

As far as Bly Manor, it is a let down only if thinking it would be so similar in tone and scares as Hill House. It shines in regards to romantic gothic storytelling as well as addressing LGBTQ themes. The love story is so tragic at the end and leaves me in tears to think about it. It is why it hasn't gotten a rewatch from me, knowing how heavy of an emotional wreck I'll be at the end.

I always forget how strong this man's career started off and really hasn't slowed down Quality wise. He has something unique to offer in nearly every project he has done.

My personal Flanagan G.O.A.T has got to be Midnight Mass!

Mad props on the video Maggot Mommy, very informative, very well researched can't wait to see more like it ! 👑

Kylie on Geralds Game: “Theres horror thats just so relatable” cut to shot of wild dog biting woman handcuffed to a bed ….i hate it when that happens! :)

@N2kenionaverse 2 years ago

I know I’m late, but Flanagan does not miss in my opinion. He never ceases to rip me apart in a thousand pieces and put me back together again. Bly Manor and Doctor Sleep are my favorites. I also love how seamlessly he incorporates diversity of all types in his stories. ❤

9:49 omg he's hated cats SINCE THE BEGINNING

@HugeTheWarningFan-mu5fr 3 years ago

Doctor Sleep has that one scene, everyone knows it. I'm a hardcore horror fan, and am very difficult to get to. The baseball boy scene disturbed me badly. Great movie!

@emilyhoward6538 2 days ago

I’m OBSESSED with Midnight Mass. It is absolutely incredible storytelling. I’ll never get over it. His best work imo.

@zackzaharko89 3 years ago (edited)

Flanagan is amazing, definitely one of my favorite working horror directors! Doctor Sleep was such a fantastic follow up to my favorite horror film The Shining. Sleep is probably in my top 12 all time favorite horrors. His work is so consistent too

@NightOwl_30 3 years ago

OMG Kylie. Mike Flanagan followed you and joined your patreon!!!!!! I'm so proud of you. Quality content every freaking time. MIKE FLANAGAN IF YOU SEE THIS COMMENT GIVE KYLIE A JOB IN YOUR NEXT PROJECT loool.

17:28 I knew Karen Gillan from Doctor Who, she was one of the many variations companions. Im glad her career kicked off from then because it seems Who actors actresses acting careers don't always go super far afterwards.

@Futurebound_jpg 2 years ago

Oculus is my favourite horror movie and one of my favourite movies in general! The cinematography and the way they go from flashback to current reality to delusion is just… omg… its art

@josephdeluca7602 2 years ago

Now that House of Usher is out, my top three are Hill House, Midnight Mass, Fall of the House of Usher. The last is a love letter to Poe BTW. Its great!
