"Midnight Mass" – A Haunting Glimpse in My "Gotham City" Series

August 2020 – a rainy day and restless energy drove me to explore the eerie, transformed landscape of Steveston, Vancouver.

The normally quiet waterfront had become a ghost town, fenced off for the filming of Netflix’s "Midnight Mass." Once vibrant, the area was now dominated by desolate "beach cottages" and fake power lines, with only security guards standing watch. Kenny Sue’s tweet hinted at the strange transformation, and I couldn’t resist capturing the haunting vibe.

In post-production, I brought the scene to life with a dark, cinematic touch—flickering cabin lights, ghostly street lamps, and fog creeping along the rain-soaked beach. The result is an atmospheric blend of eerie stillness and unsettling energy, perfectly suited for my "Gotham City" series.
