Midnight Mass: Did Beverly Keane Murder Father Pruitt? Theory Explained

Midnight Mass never explained what caused Father Paul Hill’s (initial) death, but one theory claims it could have been the show’s villain Bev Keane who killed him and if that’s the case, many wonder “why did Bev poison Father Paul?” Mike Flanagan’s Midnight Mass is a small-town horror series with a lot to say about faith, organized religion, and community. Compared to Flanagan’s earlier shows The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass is a relatively straightforward series that takes its time to get going and tells a comparatively simple story. However, Midnight Mass is not without its unsolved mysteries, despite the plot’s relative simplicity.
