10 Best Characters From Mike Flanagan’s Netflix Series

When it comes to spooky TV, one man has reigned supreme on Netflix for the past five years: Mike Flanagan, who has delivered a deluge of fantastic characters across five captivating series.

Starting with The Haunting of Hill House in 2018, Flanagan caught viewers’ attention with his jaw-dropping directing and emotionally engaging adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s original story. He then took on Turn of the Screw with his interpretation of the story via The Haunting of Bly Manor in 2020. In 2021, Flanagan tackled religion and the potentially devastating consequences of blind following with Midnight Mass. In 2022, he translated some of Christopher Pike’s stories in the series The Midnight Club. And most recently, he dazzled with his fifth and final outing at Netflix, The Fall of the House of Usher, which pulls from the library of Edgar Allan Poe for inspiration.
