“Stan Against Evil” Promises 172, Er…171 Demons That Need an Ass Whooping

Published

IFC’s upcoming scripted horror/comedy series “Stan Against Evil” has received a trailer that shows off John C. McGinley (“Scrubs”, Office Space) as the title character who takes on the role of a demon slayer. You can watch the action below, courtesy of IGN.

Brad has mentioned that he’s a big fan of McGinley and I have to agree 100% with him. That actor is brilliant with comedic timing and can pull off being a total asshole (Dr. Cox) while at the same time being open, vulnerable, charming, and wildly entertaining (once again, Dr. Cox). Put him in a project and it exponentially increases my interest!

“Stan Against Evil” follows Stanley Miller (McGinley), a sour, aging bulldog of a New England police sheriff who has recently lost his position as head honcho due to an angry outburst at a most inappropriate moment — his wife’s funeral. Impatient and judgmental, he’s not exactly accepting or kind towards people from different walks of life. When the new, strong-willed sheriff Evie Barret (Varney) opens his eyes to the plague of angry demons haunting their small New Hampshire town, Stan begrudgingly joins an alliance with her to fight them off.

A special Halloween night premiere at 10 PM is scheduled, followed on Nov. 2 by the official series premiere with back to back episodes at 10 PM and 10:30 PM. The 8-episode season will then air Wednesdays at 10 PM throughout the fall.

“Stan Against Evil” was created by “The Simpsons” writer Dana Gould.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
