Terror Films Entering The Horror TV Realm With New Series ‘THE DEAD HOUR’

Our longtime friends over at Terror Films are joining the horror tv ranks with a brand new 12 part series, ‘THE DEAD HOUR’ , coming to major streamers on May 12th. Creators Daniel B. Iske & Scott Coleman say classic The Twilight Zone was their key inspiration for the limited series. this has us very intrigued on what’s to come for the series.

The press release brings out that it’s an anthology series featuring a creepy tale each episode bookended by a twisted radio announcer (Melissa Holder) introducing each episode.

You can check out the trailer for “THE DEAD HOUR” below.

 “We created our setup, a delightful yet twisted radio DJ in a dark booth late at night telling her audience creepy tales. We would start each episode with her opening setup monologue and then we’d jump into the story as it plays out on screen. For over a year we would come up with hundreds of short story ideas before finally narrowing it down to the dozen or so that we wanted to do first.
 
Each episode has a different cast which gave us an opportunity to work with a vast array of talent. Our stories definitely are rooted in our commentary on today’s world and culture. We have our external monsters but also, we delve into the monsters inside us as well.”

The series is set to stream on Tubi, Amazon, and a few more so be on the look out for it.
 
Iske and Coleman wrote and directed the low budget horror film Fields of the Dead which enjoyed a run-on Redbox and OnDemand before turning their sights to the episodic realm.
