Shudder Announces a Queer Horror Doc Series (and Renews Creepshow!)

Good information for horror followers: at immediately’s ongoing Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour, AMC Networks introduced that spooky-centric streamer Shudder—already our go-to for new worldwide horror, in addition to a few of our favourite classics—will debut a brand new restricted sequence specializing in queer horror, within the vein of its glorious prior doc Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror.

The new sequence is titled Queer for Fear: A History of Queer Horror; it would run 4 episodes and be produced by Bryan Fuller (Hannibal, Pushing Daisies, the one good season of American Gods).

Shudder additionally had some information to share when it comes to renewals: doc sequence Cursed Films, anthology Slasher (the brand new season, titled Slasher: Ripper, will star Will & Grace’s Eric McCormack), and fan favourite Creepshow will all be returning. It’ll be season 4 for Greg Nicotero’s Creepshow, an anthology sequence impressed by the cult-beloved George A. Romero and Stephen King anthology movie.

Deadline had a number of extra particulars on the brand new season of Slasher, by the way in which: “The series, which has been renewed for its fifth season, is heading back in time to the late 19th century—there’s a killer stalking the mean streets, but instead of targeting the poor and downtrodden like Jack the Ripper, the Widow is meting out justice against the rich and powerful. The only person standing in the way of this killer is the newly promoted detective, Kenneth Rijkers, whose ironclad belief in justice may wind up being yet another victim. McCormack will play Basil Garvey, a charismatic tycoon whose success is only rivaled by his ruthlessness, as he oversees a city on the cusp of a new century, and a social upheaval that will see its streets run red with blood.”

No phrase on after we would possibly see any of those on Shudder, apart from later this 12 months. Which are you most enthusiastic about?
