The Midnight Club has earned a Guinness World Record for the amount of jump scares in a single episode, but that is not what people are being warned about.
Mike Flanagan's The Midnight Club is beautiful meditation on life, death and beyond. Flaunts of a lovely cast and engaging screenplay. It plays out like an anthology of fear stories. Great camera work and soundtrack as well. Works better as a mystery drama than horror tbh. pic.twitter.com/M46GQwClTE

Viewers are describing scenes which include mental illness, heavy drug use and alcoholism as triggering.
The show follows five terminally ill patients at a hospice who spend each night telling each other scary stories.
