- Most similar to their character in real life?
I guess I can say Sauriyan [Sapkota],
but only because Amesh is so funny
and lovable, and that's literally just Sauriyan.
He's so easy to love and it's just like -
Oh, oh my god. Sorry, I just threw a cup of iced coffee. [Laughs]
- Hey, MTV News! This is the cast of 'The Midnight Club'
and these are the Top 8
most unexpected moments from the show.
- The first unexpected moment from our show
would be in episode five.
There's this really cool stunt that happens at the climax
of my scary story that I tell at midnight.
Just to get to see that on set
and just to see the professionals work, it's,
I'm gonna give you a spoiler,
it's somebody getting hit by a car.
And I've, you know, I've never seen somebody
get hit by a car before.
That was pretty cool to see, but it was also very scary.
- Another unexpected moment from our show
is the consecutive, like, jump scares in episode one.
I think that is the most amount
of jump scares in one episode, I think ever? [Laughs]
There's like a world record for the amount
of jump scares that we did with that.
You know what, despite thinking that I wouldn't be scared
by any of them, there were some really good moments
where I would just kind of jump
at the back of my seat for a moment.
Most cases I usually don't scare that easily,
so it's pretty impressive in itself.
- I would say, like, the cult that we have in the Paragon.
That is, like, totally unexpected and not part of the books,
so it's really cool to see this other dynamic
and looming aspect of the show.
Like, a critical part of the show now
that's not in the books,
so that was kind of unexpected for me.
Yeah, I read some of it
and then I started noticing that some -
There's some differences from the script,
so I started moving over to just reading the script
because I wanted to really focus on the content
that we were working on.
But I started reading it,
and I think it's definitely something people should read.
- I would say an unexpected moment is
when Anya confesses to killing her parents.
I just binged the entire season
and I was like, "How did I miss that in the script?"
And how did all of you fail to tell me
that Anya was a murderer that whole time?
I just, I never put that together.
I don't know what script I skipped over,
but yeah, that had me shocked
at like 3 AM the other night, so.
- It was an accident!
- Y'all gotta fill me in on that later still.
Like I - yeah. [Laughs]
- Well, we didn't have all the scripts straight away,
so we kind of, we kind of gradually got to know the story,
you know, as well.
It's not a complete, how would you say, like, parallel?
Parallel to the book?
So, you never kind of knew what was coming for this show.
I read the first two episodes
and I was like, "Oh, it's not looking good."
[Laughs]
- Another unexpected moment,
and my favorite, is kind of, like, the whole new life
that the stories, the kids tell.
So like, each story has this new genre
and in mine, episode four, was so, so cool.
It was me and Chris a lot
and it was - The whole thing is in black-and-white.
Which is so cool 'cause you don't
see that anymore, ever really.
And so that was one of my favorite and unexpected moments.
Me laying there, spoiler,
just, like, bleeding out and Chris,
like, Chris' tears just, like, drenching me.
- Yeah, I just remember Annarah, like, giving me this,
like, blood-curdling monologue while dying out on the floor.
And I just remember there was, like, a pile of blood
just spilling out, like, over the whole room
and I was just holding her.
And then Igby and Iman come and they're just, like, angels.
And I don't know, I thought I was on some drugs that day,
but was sober.
- And I was painted blue, do you remember that?
- Yeah, yeah. [Laughs]
She was painted blue because black-and-white,
all the colors are different, so it was actually weird.
- The next unexpected moment is
a bit in episode six
where Sandra does something really nice for Anya
despite the fact Anya has just done nothing
but give her [beep] and torment her the entire series.
There's a ritual to try to save Anya
and Sandra's not sure about showing up, I don't blame her.
[Laughs]
And she does, and she makes a beautiful speech about
her little special trinket
that she, like, sacrifices, basically, for Anya.
I don't know, that moment just got me, got me in the scripts
and it got me when we were filming it as well.
When I read the script, I didn't expect her to do it
'cause it somewhat compromises her beliefs a little bit,
but I think it shows what a nice person Sandra is
that she's willing to do that for her friends.
- My favorite unexpected moment is when Dusty's mom
starts crawling on the ceiling.
I believe that's the last episode.
It is absolutely insane
and it was terrifying to film while I was there.
- And finally, the last shocking moment is,
for those who haven't read the book,
I would say it's a little bit more unexpected.
It's this moment towards the end of the series
where Ilonka discovers Anya's ballerina
has been put back together
and it's, you know, this - You know,
we have this, kind of, reoccurring theme throughout the series
about the cast and the characters
looking for a sign that one of us has made it,
and it's kind of a full circle, beautiful moment
that one of us, you know,
has made it to the other side and has given a sign.
We hope for a Season 2.
I hope that, you know,
even if not every character is continued,
you know, there's still space and room for
more storylines and more stories to be told, you know?
Every character is so dynamic and has so many layers.
So I, you know, I hope that we uncover
more about the Paragon,
I hope we get to know more
about Stanton's involvement with it.
You know, I hope Ilonka gets the validation
and, you know, she kind of goes through
a process of acceptance,
as far as with her illness,
and, you know, I just hope she uncovers more
with the Paragon because she wants to so badly. [Laughs]
