Is Crockett Island From Netflix's Midnight Mass Real?
Emma Terry
Netflix's latest supernatural horror show "Midnight Mass" has been creeping out audiences since the series premiered in September 2021. The show is the latest creation from writer/director Mike Flanagan, but this particular cast of characters is located on a terrifying island instead of being stuck inside a haunted house. The characters of "Midnight Mass" live in an isolated community on Crockett Island, where they're subjected to a series of mysterious events following the arrival of a priest, Father Paul, played by actor Hamish Linklater (via Newsweek).
When you watch the show, the island itself feels haunted, and it adds a layer of uncertainty to the already chilling events. Many people have wondered whether Crockett Island is a real place, mainly because they would avoid it at all costs if it really exists. Fortunately — or unfortunately, depending on how you feel about being deserted on a scary island — Crockett Island is a work of fiction.
According to Marie Claire, "Midnight Mass" was filmed in Garry Point Park in British Columbia, Canada. Though it doesn't look anything like the darkened version you see on your screen, you can visit Garry Point Park and the neighboring Steveston Village if you want to feel like you're part of the Netflix show (via Decider). There's been some debate about where Crockett Island is supposed to be located in this fictional version of reality, but Flanagan has yet to clarify where its geographic origins lie.
