- 'Midnight Mass' (2021) Even if Midnight Mass is the shortest series developed by Flanagan so far, it’s also the work that lingers the longer after the credits roll on the last episode.
- 'The Haunting of Hill House' (2018) With a fantastic cast that includes a team of children surprisingly capable of handling challenging scenes, The Haunting of Hill House charms audiences with the drama of a family trying to move on with their lives after living in a haunted house, which led to the suicide of the mother of five.
- 'Oculus' (2013) The best film in Flanagan’s career was only his second. After Absentia gathered a lot of public interest, even with the limited budget, Flanagan made a deal with Blumhouse to transform one of his student short films into a full feature.
- 'The Haunting of Bly Manor' (2020) The anthological sequel to The Haunting of Hill House repeats the success of the first miniseries by crafting an extremely satisfying narrative in which layered characters must face the ghosts of their own pasts.

- 1 The Season Of Passage - TBD. Flanagan's third and final confirmed project is a movie based on Christopher Pike's 1992 sci-fi horror novel The Season of Passage.
- 2 The Dark Tower - TBD. In late 2022, Flanagan announced he'd purchased the rights to develop a television series based on King's The Dark Tower books, intending to spend several seasons adapting them.
- 3 The Life Of Chuck - TBD. While none of Flanagan's Amazon projects have official release dates, a movie based on Stephen King's short story "The Life of Chuck" is definitely happening.
- MIDNIGHT MASS (2021) Midnight Mass, Flanagan’s latest Netflix series about a mysterious priest who comes to a remote island, is his best work. It’s a meditation on grief, recovery, and faith – not to mention, it’s also terrifying.
- DOCTOR SLEEP (2019) Not only is Doctor Sleep an adaptation of Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining, but it also serves as a cinematic sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (1980), one of the most iconic horror movies ever made.
- THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (2018) Netflix. Flanagan’s first series for Netflix was a rousing success. Loosely based on Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel of the same name, The Haunting of Hill House is a ten-episode look into the Crain family and their relationship to the paranormal Hill House that they once occupied.
- HUSH (2016) Hush is an 81-minute crash course on how to create a thrilling slasher movie using essentially two actors, one set, and virtually no dialogue.
