Wanting to honor even more of Pike's large library of beloved titles, the pair got the rights to include several more of Pike's books and fold those stories into the main spine of the series. Time and fate finally caught up to the dream, as Flanagan and his producing partner Trevor Macy turned The Midnight Club into a Netflix series for Netflix which premiered on Oct. He got nowhere with the right but he never gave up. In fact, one of those readers was writer/director Mike Flanagan ( Midnight Mass) who, as a college grad, wanted to adapt Pike's 1994 novel, The Midnight Club, into a movie. His horror and thriller titles, like Slumber Party (1985), Witch (1990), and The Visitor (1995), amongst many others, were books that transitioned generations of young readers into the more adult worlds of Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Anne Rice.

If you're a Gen Xer or Millennial, there's a good chance you grew up reading the YA novels of Christopher Pike.
