Watch the Haunted “Candle Cove” Episode From Syfy’s “Channel Zero”! (Exclusive)
With only three episodes left, the mystery behind Syfy’s “Channel Zero” is only intensifying. It’s clear that “Candle Cove” exists, but who created it, and why have they returned? What’s the motive behind the haunted children’s show and how does Mike Painter’s (Paul Schneider) twin brother mix into all of it? The chilling “Candle Cove” is the centerpiece of “Channel Zero” and I’ve been dying to watch it in full. So I asked Syfy, who gave us an exclusive look as a very special Halloween treat! Enter the cave and find the treasure below!
“Channel Zero” has the same emotional feel as reading a creepypasta; it’s horror poetry in motion. There’s so much strange and unsettling imagery mixed in with the otherworldly/fantastical vibe. It’s a weird cross-hybrid of genres that feels like softer-paced In the Mouth of Madness, only the huge mystery in the center of this storm is based around a 1980s kids television show instead of a book.

“Candle Cove”, the first season that consists of six episodes, is based on Kris Straub’s unnerving “creepypasta” short story that gained notoriety on the popular horror site. It centers on one man’s obsessive recollection of a mysterious children’s television program from the 1980s – and his ever-growing, dreadful suspicions about its possible connection in a series of nightmarish and deadly events from his childhood.
In tomorrow’s episode, “A Strange Vessel”, when Mike’s daughter Lily mysteriously arrives in Iron Hill, we learn more about the murders of 1988. Mike and Jessica also take drastic measures to heal the past and protect Lily from Candle Cove.
Nick Antosca (“Hannibal”) wrote the pilot and serves as showrunner and executive producer alongside Max Landis (Victor Frankenstein, Chronicle). Harley Peyton (“Twin Peaks”) is writer-co-executive producer, while Don Mancini (“Hannibal”, creator of Child’s Play) also serves as a writer-supervising producer.

Mike Painter (Paul Schneider, “Parks and Recreation”) returns to the hometown he left as a kid only to relive the happenings of years ago when his brother was one of five children murdered in a case that was never solved. Old memories return to the surface when one mother’s child goes missing after mentioning that she had been watching CANDLE COVE, an eerie children’s puppet show he used to watch around the time of his brother’s murder. Although others remember watching this show, they are startled by the realization that it never truly existed and they had been staring at TV static.
“Channel Zero: Candle Cove” returns tomorrow at 9/8c on Syfy.
Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.
Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.
If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.
In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.
“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.
“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”
Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.
Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”
The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
