Sam Raimi's '50 STATES OF FRIGHT' Gets A New Lease On Life At Roku!

Starting on October 15th, The Roku Channel will be presenting Sam Raimi’s 50 STATES OF FEAR. The series was originally slated for Quibi but with that service going under, Roku picked up the slack.

50 States of Fright, executive produced by Sam Raimi, is a horror anthology with terrifying tales state by state.

“When the Streetlights Go On” and “The Expecting” also come to Roku in October.

When the Street Lights Go On, written by Eddie O’Keefe and Chris Hutton, tells the story of a double homicide in a small midwestern suburb that rattles the lives of a group of teenagers and sends investigators searching for answers in the fall of 1995. The show will premiere on Friday, October 8th.

The Expecting, directed by American Psycho’s Mary Harron and executive produced by the team behind A Quiet Place, and starring AnnaSophia Robb, Rory Culkin, and Mira Sorvino, is an edge-of-your-seat sci-fi thriller about a mysterious pregnancy and the potential dark secrets surrounding it. The show will premiere on Friday, October 29th.

Launched in 2017, The Roku Channel is the home of free and premium entertainment on the Roku platform. In addition to Roku devices, The Roku Channel is available on Web, iOS and Android devices, Amazon Fire TV and select Samsung TVs and can be accessed internationally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.
