That's a wrap on THE LIFE OF CHUCK. This has been a tenacious little miracle of a movie from the start & I'm forever indebted to this wonderful cast and crew. This film is deeply special to me, and I'm elated that it's going to exist in the world.
I'm very disappointed that Netflix has decided not to pursue a second season of THE MIDNIGHT CLUB, but as promised, here are the answers to the unresolved mysteries of season 1 (along with our plans for season 2)
Big day today. New show is out and I really, really hope you enjoy it. And, I'm five years sober today - a milestone that fills me with gratitude. Difficult to celebrate much, given the state of the industry today, but wanted to express my thankfulness.
Got woken up by the earthquake this morning, sat there for a few minutes just thinking "I'd really love to make a horror movie in the STAR WARS universe..."
A few minutes ago we wrapped production on THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, closing a huge chapter of my life. I've worked in Vancouver almost nonstop since BLY MANOR in 2019. We made 4 series in 3 years, only taking a short break for the COVID lockdown in early 2020.
In addition to being horribly unfair to the cast and crew, this also underscores the importance of physical media. WESTWORLD is available on blu-ray, but this will happen to shows that aren’t. The cancellation of a series is sad enough - but the erasure of a series is horrifying.
'The removal of shows from HBO Max means WB Discovery is able to save money in residuals paid to cast and crews of productions, on top of the money saved by not continuing with the shows at all.” Literally how middle class actors survive.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is one of the best films I have ever seen. Ever. In my whole life. Ever. I was crying - while smiling - for well over an hour. Holy hell. I’m speechless.
I'm 3 years sober today & there is not a single corner of my life that hasn't been profoundly improved. Thank you to everyone who helped me find the way, but especially
@k8siegel

@theyearofelan
and
@MollyQuinn93
. I never imagined how rewarding this would be. Humbled, & so lucky.
Really, really appreciate our MIDNIGHT MASS fans today. It's been very cool to see you guys rally, and it means a lot. Thank you for the messages and tweets, you guys are the best.
Okay… okay… looked out the window during a meeting this morning and saw THIS - my chain-smoking doppelgänger - on an adjacent balcony. I’m in a
@JordanPeele
movie and I am FREAKING OUT
Has it really been a year?! This one will probably always be my favorite. It's a piece of my heart, transformed into 7.5 hours of light and sound. Many thanks to all of you who gave it a chance.
"The word was unearthed by his fear like the tomb was unearthed by the storm. And the word was 'angel'. Angel. And he was so afraid."
Today marks the FIRST ANNIVERSARY of the critically-acclaimed miniseries MIDNIGHT MASS.
Rewatched Fincher’s THE SOCIAL NETWORK. Forgot how truly goddamned terrific it is. Movie hits even harder now. Cast is uniformly brilliant, but man - Andrew Garfield is just sublime.
I've gotten a lot of questions about ep 106 of
@haunting
. Netflix released an awesome little BTS video, but for those that want more information, here's a little thread: Episode 6 was part of the very first pitch for the show, promising an episode that would look like one shot.
Have seen a few people think that we used footage from THE SHINING in the DOCTOR SLEEP trailer... actually, we didn't. Outside of one shot (the bloody elevators), everything else was our own recreation, and here's a cool side-by-side comparison...
That’s a wrap on THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR. Congratulations to the cast and crew, the familiar faces and the new, and congratulations to the filmmakers who came on board to make this season their own.
I love working for
@netflix
, and have been strongly encouraging them to rethink their position on physical media. I recommend you all do the same. Physical media is incredibly important, and I very much wish all of my work was available.
Happy birthday to

THE LIFE OF CHUCK.
It’s been a long time since I’ve made a completely independent movie, and it would not be possible without the herculean efforts of our producer, Trevor Macy, who has willed this film into existence, along with our partners at QWGmire.
NOPE is absolutely astounding. A truly spectacular achievement by

and his amazing cast & crew. Man, he just keeps raising the bar. What a celebration of the big screen; a masterful deconstruction of the blockbuster. I loved every single frame.

So I decided to redo it bigger and better

Really grateful that so many of you are spending your Friday with
#TheHauntingofBlyManor
. I’m on set today, and I was also on set when Hill House launched two years ago, so both times I’ve felt weirdly disconnected from it. But so relieved and happy to see people enjoying it.
HUGE congratulations to the whole team behind FNAF. My 13 year-old son is a mega-fan, and this delivered everything he hoped for. Very grateful that I got to share this gateway horror moment with him.

Just curious - for people who are logging in to watch MIDNIGHT CLUB tonight - is it coming up on your homepage or do you have to search for it? Either way, hope you enjoy!
Well here we are: just hours away from the release of
@midnightmass
on
@netflix
. It's no secret that this project means more to me than the others. But as of tonight, for the first time in a decade, this show won't belong to me anymore - it'll belong to all of you.
This is true. She never does the same thing twice. Much to appreciate about the great Katie Parker. Even I have a hard time remembering she was Poppy Hill, she disappeared so completely into that part...
A Katie Parker appreciation post. Because of all Mike Flanagan's recurring actors, this chameleon actress is so good at losing herself in her characters that she rarely gets recognized.
And a new addition to the dark worlds of Intrepid and of Edgar Allan Poe, playing a character surprisingly at home in the shadows, we are thrilled to welcome... the iconic MARK HAMILL.
I won’t be watching
#TheOscars
this year. Instead, I’m going to select a stellar example (or two) of cinematography and editing from my library, and revisit those films. At the end of the evening, I’ll tweet about the films I chose and what they taught me.

Happy 1-year anniversary to THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE: the most difficult, challenging & rewarding project of my career. It’s particularly surreal to reminisce while standing in Bly Manor. Excited for the blu-ray this week, & I’ll always be grateful for the

In general, “Worst-of” lists are useless. Snide. Masturbatory. Pretention-Porn, frankly. And this one, making the rounds right now, is no exception. Seriously, why do this? What is the point? What is the benefit? It’s just... ugly.
5 years ago today, I married my best friend. She truly is the collaboration of my life - a life I'll always aspire to deserve. Our amazing kids, our insane work, all the adventures in between - I have no idea why I should be this lucky. I love you
@k8siegel
, Happy Anniversary.
Re-watching Doctor Sleep and when Dan drives over that surface in the car (at 1:36:08), it kinda sounds like the same sound the tricycle make on the floor of the Overlook (at 03:49).
@flanaganfilm
was this on purpose or am i imagining things?
THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, revised and remodeled by Mike Flanagan. I don't usually care for this kind of revisionism, but this is great. Close to a work of genius, really. I think Shirley Jackson would approve, but who knows for sure.
#Terrifier2
is wild. Very ambitious and deeply disturbing. Practical FX are off the chain.
@_LaurenLaVera_
is quite terrific and Art the Clown is downright ghastly. Seems to have invented a new sub genre: the MegaSlasher. Big respect to all involved.

On a flight this morning, I swapped seats with Kurt Russell so that he could sit next to Goldie Hawn. I would love to say I made it through the exchange without stammering like a complete and total idiot... but NOPE.
Hi all, think it's time to finally delete the Twitter account. Please find me at Tumblr, Instagram and Facebook... always under flanaganfilm. Gonna give this a day or two to circulate but feels like it's time to go
Random thought: INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978), NOSFERATU (1979), THE THING (1982), THE FLY (1986) & THE BLOB (1988) represent the golden era of horror remakes & set a bar that hasn't been surpassed - or even approached - since. Anyway... thanks for coming to my TED talk
ZODIAC is fifteen years old today. I can’t believe it. And we bombed when we opened. So grateful so many people have found it and that it’s stuck around.
Amazed & grateful that MIDNIGHT MASS is nominated for Best Limited Series at the
@CriticsChoice
awards. Huge congrats to Hamish Linklater & Zach Gilford, nominated for Best Actor and Supporting Actor. We are honored to be included among these incredible nominees.
That's a wrap on MIDNIGHT MASS. It has been an extraordinary, unprecedented production, and I cannot be prouder of this amazing cast and crew. In fact - and I do not say this lightly - this has been the best production experience of my career.
The Director’s Cut of
#DoctorSleep
(TRT 180 mins) lands on Digital (4K streaming) 1/21, and on Blu-ray (with 4K UHD Theatrical Cut) on 2/4. Hope you enjoy!
Just left movie theater seeing “Doctor Sleep” with wife and man we both agreed how good it was!!! Love the correlation and references back to the Original “The Shining”. Job well done! Oh
@KylieghCurran
you’re AMAZING!!!! We Love you! ❤️
