Review: Midnight Horror: Six Nights (2022)

Quick Review 

Each episode has its own story. Overall, I think this drama was so-so, with episode 3 and 6 being the most interesting. It is a little bit gory, so if you don't like this genre, then maybe you should watch something else instead. 

Rating: 2 of 5 

• Original title: 미드나잇 호러: 6개의 밤 
• Title: Midnight Horror: Six Nights
• Genre: Horror 
• Episodes: 6
• Duration: 25 minutes
• Streaming service: Seezn 
• Streaming period: 2022-Dec-27 -

Main Cast 

• Kwon Han Sol (ep1)
• Jang Sung Yoon as Kwon Hyuk Jin (ep2)
• Seo Young Hee as Kim Jin Kyung (ep3)
• Kang Mi Na as Soo Hyeon (ep4)
• Miyauchi Hitomi as Mei (ep5)
• Jung Da Eun as Soo In (ep6) 

Episode 1 

I thought the first episode was a bit confusing. It is based on The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe.

Episode 2

Kwon Hyuk Jin, is a young woman who makes dolls. On Real Homeshopping live TV-shows, her dolls are used as voodooo dolls to the horror of its viewers.

Episode 3

Kim Jin Kyung works for SOS Hope Line. Probably, much because of the death of her sister Eun Kyung. Her mother holds on to the memory of her lost daughter, while Jin Kyung prefers to move on.

The world is full of suffering, but also full of those who overcome them.

Episode 4

Soo Hyeon studies to become a flight attendant. She works late alone in a convenience store. This part-time work turns out to be a nightmare.

Episode 5

Mei is struggling to run the Raccoon Restaurant in South Korea.

Episode 6 END

Soo In works as a security guard. One night she is called to a location. However, it turns out she isn't alone in the building, someone is following her.

I kept thinking, "Take off your shoes!" You can be heard. It looks like this episode is based on a 2019 4chan thread about a fictional place called The Backrooms. It made me think of the movie Cube from 1997. A Japanese remake Cube was made in 2021. Leaving one room, only to end up in another, with no exit in sight.

Crocheted Blue and White Striped Newbie Blanket

This blue and white striped blanket was one of my first crochet projects. After seeing others creations online, I decided to pick up crocheting in summer of 2022. With the help of some YouTube videos, it took about a week to learn the basic stitches. It ended up taking longer to complete because I took a break during summer, and there were times when I had to wait for yarn. In total, it took about one year to finish, breaks not included. I could have probably used a little larger hook, but I didn't know it at the time.

• Worsted yarn: Lauri by Kehrä (75% wool, 25% polyester)
• Hook size: 5,5 mm
• Measure: 150 cm x 210 cm (59" x 79")
• Worked on: 2022-Nov-01 - 2024-Feb-24 (breaks included)

Crocheted Deep Sea Infinity Scarf

This deep sea infinity scarf was crocheted using two, or three skeins of worsted Sport yarn by Falkgarn. 70% wool, 25% polyester. I thought this variegated yarn was mostly used when knitting socks, but it worked for this, too. I completed it on December 22, 2023.

Crocheted Ocean Blue Beanie and Scarf

I used this scarf as a project to practice crocheting straight edges. Afterwards, I realized that an 8 mm, or 9 mm hook could have been used. No tassels were added since it's so long. Later on, I crochet a matching beanie.

Crocheted Blue and Yellow Hats
