Is The Hospice In ‘The Midnight Club’ Real?
The Midnight Club takes place at the fictitious Brightcliffe Hospice in the early 1990s. The name of the facility in the show has been altered from the book, which was Rotterham Home. Even Rotterham Home isn’t a real place mentioned in the book.
“The hospice has a very colorful history,” The Midnight Club‘s co-creator, Mike Flanagan, said. Adding, “There’s a rumor … about a living shadow that prowls the halls of Brightcliffe. Some of the kids speculate that it might be death itself. And some of the kids, especially toward the end of their lives, talk about this thing, getting closer and closer to them.”
Lastly, another location was spotted in the series and it’s Central Park at 3883 Imperial Street.
