About
Mike Flanagan built a horror empire through meticulous control—writing, directing, producing, and editing his own films and Netflix series. Born May 20, 1978, in the US, he helmed Oculus, Gerald's Game, and Doctor Sleep on screen, then pivoted to prestige TV with The Haunting of Hill House and The Midnight Club, often reuniting with the same ensemble. His Taurus persistence shows in his trademark collaborations: his wife Kate Siegel appears across nearly all his work since Oculus, co-writing Hush with him.

Biography
Mike Flanagan is an American filmmaker born May 20, 1978, who writes, directs, produces, and edits his horror projects with rare creative control.
