What is “Midnight Mass”

Just to preface our explanation, “Midnight Mass” is a miniseries in the truest sense of the genre. It is the brainchild of Mike Flanagan, who also created the Netflix miniseries “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” “The Haunting of Hill House,” and most recently, “The Midnight Club”.

As with any good story, “Midnight Mass” has a distinct beginning, middle, and end. It doesn’t lend itself to being renewed – in fact, the very plotline and character development trajectory would make another season pretty much unnecessary. So luckily, fans who marathon the show won’t finish wondering what’s next.

Like many other pieces of the Mike Flanagan universe, “Midnight Mass” isn’t a shallow morsel of entertainment candy. Rather, it’s a psychological thriller with cinematic merit. Netflix’s official teaser trailer sets the stage with gusto.

“Midnight Mass” controversy

Perhaps the most controversial of Flanagan’s creations, “Midnight Mass” had the Catholic Church quite riled up. The Catholic Register’s youth reporter Paula Ducepec went so far as to deem the show hazardous.

In a March 2, 2022 piece, Ducepec wrote, (“Midnight Mass”) is very dangerous because it not only attacks the usual senses — sight, sound, touch — as the horror genre usually does, it attacks what people crave spiritually: salvation and redemption.”

But viewers and critics with an analytical bent contend that the show’s deeper meaning is that of forgiveness – just like the Catholic Church’s tenants after all.

“Midnight Mass” filming location: main characters

Without ruining the show with too many spoilers, it is still important to situate folks who have yet to see the horrific limited series. “Midnight Mass” was released in 2021, smack-dab amid the Netflix and Chill Revolution, coinciding with the pandemic lockdown.

It took viewers to a location of a sparsely populated, primarily Catholic island town where who knows what could happen. (It is a horror show, after all, so just about anything is possible. Yet you know it wasn’t going to be pretty.)

The main character, Monsignor John Michael Pruitt, had come back to Crocket Island after a pilgrimage. He was a radically transformed individual, to say the least, and no longer devout. He is now a monster and yet continues to preach the gospel, albeit acknowledging to his disciples that curiosity about faith and phenomena is only natural.

Since their religious leader is so down to earth upon his return, believers take a long time to realize that the monsignor himself cannot be saved. Further, his shepherds are leading the flock far away from salvation and straight into the arms of danger – a thinly veiled metaphor for the devil.

The inability to escape the island makes people – and, sadly, animals – easy prey. But Crockett Island is, thank goodness, a fictional setting. So what were the “Midnight Mass” filming location choices? The answer is a common one these days.

Vancouver, Canada, offers many different incentives to studios and production companies that opt to take advantage of the gorgeous natural surroundings. According to the Daily Hive, film and television revenue brought the province of British Columbia more than $3.4 billion in 2020 alone.

The pandemic might have slowed – but certainly didn’t halt – filming in the area. In fact, after a significant pause in March 2020, filming in Canada began again. Productions re-ensued and related jobs returned thanks to Canada’s COVID-19 measures.

Vancouver and the surrounding areas are widely appreciated for the predominant climate’s misty and ominous effects. That’s extra fitting for a show like “Midnight Mass,” which relies on such symbols to generate audience reactions.

To be specific, according to Atlas of Wonders, the crew built the set for Crockett Island at Garry Point Park in Richmond, British Columbia. Buildings on the set used pre-weathered wood, and it effectively captured the tone of an isolated village with 127 souls.

Several piers in the region were used as key locations in “Midnight Mass”. Specifically, the 6th and 7th Avenue Piers on Richmond’s Moncton Street – both of which are private.

Anderlini Farms in Langley, British Columbia served as the site recreation center, town square, school, general store, and that spooky-looking church that has become iconic to the show.

Finally, certain shots were filmed in Vancouver proper, at the Vancouver Rowing Club. As with so many other Vancouver-based productions, post-production and editing took place at The Bridge Studios in Burnaby. It’s just about 20 minutes from Downtown Vancouver and neighbors East Vancouver.
