The Midnight Club's Season 1 Soundtrack Is Full Of '90s Jams
The nostalgia is so strong, it's scary.
With The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, series creator Mike Flanagan established himself as one of Netflix’s go-to names for horror. His latest project, The Midnight Club, continues this tradition. Also in line with the Haunting series, The Midnight Club is not solely Flanagan’s brainchild, but rather pulled from the works of a great author — this time, it’s teen horror master Christopher Pike. And the songs on The Midnight Club’s Season 1 soundtrack take Pike’s 1990s-era book setting and turn it into a 21st-century love letter to throwback jams.
Warning: Spoilers for The Midnight Club Season 1 follow. Initially published in 1994, Pike’s The Midnight Club was set in a hospice center for teens facing terminal illnesses. Netflix’s The Midnight Club could have easily been updated to a present-day series; the lives of terminally-ill children may have a bit more technology to contend with, but the unfairness of their shortened lives and the grappling with mortality are the same. But Flanagan kept Pike’s world in its pre-broadband internet setting, giving the soundtrack a chance to revive a slew of tunes from a time before Spotify.
