Netflix's The Midnight Club: Ol' Mike Flanagan (Hill House, Bly Manor, Midnight Mass) is back, this time with a teen drama. It's, um, easily the worst of his Netflix shows, and I think that's partially because it was intended to be an ongoing series rather than a one and done. There's a lot of awkward CGI spook 'um ups that happen front and center that feel really out of place in a Flanman project but I get why for this particular narrative they couldn't rely on "spooky guy hanging out in the background" like in the Hauntings.
It's set in a hospice for teens (you should be able to discern from that if this is the kind of show you'd enjoy), where every night they gather in the library to tell spooky stories. The stories themselves use the show's actors (and occasionally other Flanagan regulars) in wig of varying qualities, which I think is always really fun.

Something really cool happens later on that made me go "Holy shit" but then they backed off it hard, which I guess makes sense because I don't even know where they'd go from there but man talk about your pulled punches. Also one of the least interesting stories gets revisited twice.
