So if the idea of a Star Wars horror film ever became tangible, Flanagan would be the perfect director for the job.
His film Doctor Sleep, a sequel to The Shining, surprised the audience when Flanagan incorporated concepts like astral projection, superpowers, and parallel universes, which is not often done successfully in the horror genre. The Midnight Mass director is notably a master of horror flicks and has branched out into combining sci-fi with horror before. Flanagan tweeted, 'Got woken up by the earthquake this morning, sat there for a few minutes just thinking 'I'd really love to make a horror movie in the STAR WARS universe.' Though we aren't sure what exactly prompted this idea besides the earthquake, we are confident that this genre combination is a must-have.
