After becoming a genre icon by starring in Re-Animator, Chopping Mall and From BeyondBarbara Crampton made her return to horror in You’re Next. Since then, she’s blasted back on the scene, having starred in We Are Still Here, Sun Choke, Tales of Halloween, Road Games, Beyond the Gates, Replace, Dead Night, and the forthcoming Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich! Next up, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that Crampton has joined the cast of “Channel Zero: The Dream Door”, the next installment of SYFY’s horror anthology series “Channel Zero”.

The next installment will also star Brandon Scott (“Channel Zero: Butcher’s Block”, “Greys Anatomy”), Maria Sten (Straight Outta Compton), Steven Robertson (“Elementary”) and Steven Weber(“Wings”) and will premiere on SYFY later this year.

Based on the “creepypasta” short story “Hidden Door” by Charlotte Bywater, “Channel Zero: The Dream Door” follows newlyweds Jillian (Sten) and Tom Hodgson (Scott), who have each brought secrets into their marriage. When they discover a strange door in their basement, those secrets start to threaten their relationship — and their lives.

Crampton will play “Vanessa Moss” – a woman with a close relationship with Tom Hodgson, we’re told. She’s unprepared for the danger that Tom brings with him.

Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.

Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.

Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.

“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…

“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.

We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.

“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
