Horror legend Robert Englund will bring his iconic voice to the Travel Channel, THR reports this morning, as he’s been tapped to host the upcoming series “Shadows of History”!
“The cabler has picked up six episodes of Shadows of History, in which the Nightmare on Elm Street star Robert Englund investigates “frightening, odd and creepy” stories from America’s past, as initially printed in newspapers,” THR details.
“In each episode, Englund will track down the story behind a bizarre or mysterious account printed in an American newspaper in the past. He will enlist historians and scholars to get to the truth behind the reports.”
“How can you make fascinating and petrifying stories even more scary? Add the genius of Robert Englund,” said Travel Channel GM Jane Latman. “As if tales of flying monsters, zombie cannibals and ghost ships were not enough, we are cranking up the volume for maximum impact. And our fans are going to go nuts for this legendary actor.”
“Shadows of History” is produced by Workaholic Productions. Luke Ellis executive produces for Workaholic and Daniel A. Schwartz for Travel Channel.
