"The Midnight Club" Carefully Hid Some "Hill House" And "Midnight Mass" Easter Eggs In Episodes, And Here They Are

🚨 Warning: There are massive spoilers ahead for Netflix's The Midnight Club! 🚨

Out of everything currently streaming on Netflix, I have to say that my favorites are without a doubt Mike Flanagan's horror shows. From The Haunting of Hill House to Midnight Mass, Mike knows how to craft a pretty perfect show from start to finish that leaves me crying and flailing for days.

So, it's no surprise that Mike's latest series, The Midnight Club, is all I want to talk about for the foreseeable future.

Created by Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong, and based on the works of Christopher Pike, The Midnight Club tells the story of a group of terminally ill teenagers in the '90s who reside at Brightcliffe Home, a hospice hospital. It's at Brightcliffe that these teens meet every midnight to tell each other scary stories.

The show brilliantly blends together various genres as this group of teenagers creates their own stories to tell each other. From a detective noir episode to a beautiful and haunting look at the afterlife, The Midnight Club is yet another amazing show to add to the "Flanaverse."

Now, because this is a Mike Flanagan series, there are always bound to be Easter eggs and great details you might miss the first time around but are so cool once you spot them.

And while there are a ton of '90s Easter eggs that are fun to find — literally Netflix compiled a list of them — I want to dive into the details that actually connect to other Mike Flanagan projects! So, here they are:

1.First, Kate Siegel, Carla Gugino, and Hamish Linklater, who notably starred in The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, and more Flanagan projects, make very quick voice cameos in The Midnight Club.

During Episode 7, when Anya dreams of being healed and returning to her life, there's a moment when she heads home and begins watching an episode of a detective show titled Order and Reprimand.

If you listen closely, it sounds like you can first hear Carla Gugino as the narrator introducing the episode. This is similar to Carla's cameo in Midnight Mass where she voiced the judge who sentences Riley to jail in Episode 1.

Then, Kate Siegel and Hamish Linklater voice the two detectives in the episode Anya is watching.

2.Jamie Flanagan, who is Mike's brother and who wrote episodes of The Midnight Club, Midnight Mass, and The Haunting of Bly Manor, appears in Episode 7 as Anya's group leader.

He's appeared in several other Mike Flanagan projects, like when he played the funeral director at Olivia's funeral in The Haunting of Hill House.

Of course, The Midnight Club also stars other "Flanaverse" actors like Igby Rigney, Annarah Cymone, Matt Biedel, Samantha Sloyan, Zach Gilford, Rahul Kohli, Michael Trucco, Katie Parker, Alex Essoe, Henry Thomas, Robert Longstreet, and more, who have each appeared in numerous Mike Flanagan projects.

3.In The Midnight Club Episode 6, if you look closely in the basement when the ritual is being performed, you can actually see the Lasser Glass from Mike Flanagan's 2013 film Oculus.

The mirror has appeared in numerous other Mike Flanagan projects over the years, like Hill House, Bly Manor, Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep, and more.

4.In The Midnight Club Episode 1, Ilonka talks about how everyone becomes a story at the end of their life.

This is reminiscent of a moment in The Haunting of Hill House when Olivia talks to a young Shirley after one of the kittens she rescued dies.

This isn't the first time Mike has subtly referenced a quote from one of his previous projects. He also did this in The Haunting of Bly Manor, when Hannah alludes to Nell's confetti line from Hill House.

5.In Episode 3, Dusty, aka Kevin in this story, pulls out a copy of Stephen King's The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger, which is the first novel in The Dark Tower series. Mike has said that he wants to adapt the series at some point.

6.Mike Flanagan has been leaving Easter eggs for upcoming projects in previous ones, so in Midnight Mass Episode 1, you can spot a Christopher Pike book on Riley's bookshelf in his childhood bedroom.

Of course, Christopher Pike's stories were adapted in The Midnight Club. Aside from The Midnight Club, the other Pike books that are adapted in this show are See You Later, Witch, The Eternal Enemy, and more. In fact, Kevin in The Midnight Club is named after Christopher Pike, whose real name is Kevin Christopher McFadden.

7.And finally, these Easter eggs won't reveal themselves for a little while, but Mike Flanagan stated that there are nods to The Fall of the House of Usher, his next project, hidden throughout The Midnight Club. He told Variety, "There are a couple little clever turns of phrase and a couple little nods to The Fall of the House of Usher, we hit a little Poe."

The Fall of the House of Usher will be adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's works and will star "Flanaverse" favorites Kate Siegel, Carla Gugino, Rahul Kohli, Henry Thomas, T'Nia Miller, Kate Siegel, Samantha Sloyan, Annabeth Gish, Michael Trucco, Lulu Wilson, and more.
