[Trailer] Shudder Documentary Series Explores the Legendary Tales of “Cursed Films” in April
Many horror films over the years have had alleged “curses” attached to them, with the productions believed to be plagued by supernatural forces. We’re talking about films like The Exorcist, The Omen and Poltergeist, and those three will be profiled alongside The Twilight Zone: The Movie and The Crow in Shudder’s upcoming 5-part docuseries “Cursed Films.”
From showrunner Jay Cheel, “Cursed Films” is a documentary series which explores the myths and legends behind some of Hollywood’s notoriously cursed horror film productions.
“Cursed Films will reveal the events that haunted these productions through interviews with experts, witnesses and the cast, directors and producers who lived through the real-life events.”
“Were these films really cursed, as many believe, or just the victims of bad luck and bizarre circumstances?”
Entertainment Weekly brings us the official trailer today, along with the news that “Cursed Films” will premiere with the episode centered on The Exorcist on April 2nd, 2020.
Poltergeist and The Omen will then be profiled on April 9th, followed by the final episode covering both The Twilight Zone: The Movie and The Crow on April 16th.
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.
