Here's How Midnight Mass Made Its Horrifying Monster With Practical Effects

Netflix’s moody, slow-burn horror mini-series Midnight Mass is currently available to watch in its entirety on the streaming platform. Created by The Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor’s very own Mike Flanagan, the show centers on an isolated island fishing community beset by a sudden and mysterious “religious revival” that may not be exactly what it seems. (Spoilers: it’s definitely not exactly what it seems–remember, this is a horror show.)

Now, if you haven’t already finished all seven episodes of the show this is where you might want to turn back, because GameSpot can exclusively debut Netflix’s behind the scenes look into the making of the project–specifically the practical effects work that went into making Crockett Island’s monstrous visitor–and he may be something you want to experience for the first time within the context of the show rather than the make-up chair.

If you have finished the show (or aren’t sensitive to spoilers), though, take a look at it now.
