Midnight Mass Drinking Game + Cocktail

Salvation or damnation — either way, you'll need something strong for the sermon.

The Rules

  • Sip — whenever Father Paul Hill delivers a sermon that goes just a little too long
  • Sip — whenever Riley Flynn stares out at the ocean during one of his long guilt-soaked silences
  • Sip — whenever Erin Greene and Riley share a late-night conversation on the island dock
  • Sip — whenever a miraculous healing on Crockett Island is attributed directly to God
  • Sip — whenever Bev Keane passive-aggressively enforces her interpretation of the church rules
  • Drink Twice — whenever the creature under Father Paul's robes is glimpsed or implied
  • Drink Twice — whenever a character voices doubts about the miracles and is silenced by faith
  • Drink Twice — whenever the book of Psalms is recited to justify something clearly monstrous
  • Shot — whenever a character chooses to accept vampiric blood as a form of communion
  • Shot — whenever the congregation awakens during the Midnight Mass and violence begins
  • Chug — whenever all the buildings on Crockett Island are set ablaze at dawn
