Halloween Television 2017

From the press release I saw this morning...

Fall is officially here, which means it is time for some “scary” good TV.  For your readers with an appetite for anything and everything Halloween and horror-centric, we wanted to share the following spooktacular series and videos from Indigenous Media’s 60 Second Docs; Eli Roth, Jason Blum and Jack Davis’ Crypt TV; Stage 13; Google Play; and SYFY:

• “60 Second Docs and Crypt TV Present Profiles in Fear, a Social Docu-Series” – Each 60 second documentary from 60 Second Docs and Crypt TV will profile unique stories about the cultures around the strange and unexplainable.

• “Channel Zero: No-End House” - Inspired by Brian Russell’s “creepypasta” tale, this Nick Antosca-created anthology series tells the story of a young woman named Margot Sleator, who visits the No-End House, a bizarre house of horrors that consists of a series of increasingly disturbing rooms.  When she returns home, Margot realizes everything has changed.  Episodes air Wednesdays on SYFY.  Series trailer: http://bit.ly/2fqSZ9y.

• “Two Sentence Horror Stories” - A fresh and provocative anthology series inspired by the viral fan fiction, each episode is inspired by its own horror story told in two sentences and taps into universal primal fears — death, abandonment, and loneliness.
