Keep up to date with our Channel Zero news hub, which includes the latest debrief for "Guest of Honor" with the show's creator.
Syfy's horror anthology Channel Zero finally brought creepypasta to cable television and the results have been promisng.
The series from the minds of Nick Antosca (Hannibal) and Max Landis (Chronicle) and it uses a frame story of a man’s obsession with “mysterious television programs from the 1980s and his ever-growing suspicions about the role it might have played in a series of nightmarish” events from his childhood. The first season consists of six episodes.
“As lifelong fans of experimental horror and science fiction from The Twilight Zone to Tales from the Crypt, we are overjoyed to have the opportunity to offer exposure to a new generation of creators,” said the duo. “Channel Zero is a great opportunity to explore new frontiers in the genre in a way that allows us to really dig in and get weird.”
They have big plans for the first and (tentative) second seasons of the show. Season 1 will be based on a creepypasta story called "Candle Cove" by Kris Straub. You can follow along with our exclusive interviews episode-by-episode here:
