Christmas-Themed “A Creepshow Holiday Special” Coming to Shudder in December!
Coming in the direct wake of their Halloween special, Shudder has today announced that “Creepshow” will again return this holiday season with “A Creepshow Holiday Special”!
“In the holiday themed, hour-long episode, “Shapeshifters Anonymous,” fearing he is a murderer, an anxious man searches for answers for his “unique condition” from an unusual support group. Starring Anna Camp and Adam Pally, the special is written and directed by “Creepshow” showrunner Greg Nicotero, based on a short story by J.A. Konrath.”
“The Spirit of Christmas is alive and well in true Creepshow fashion,” said showrunner Greg Nicotero. “Reimagining how we look at the holidays and Santa Claus with an outrageous ensemble cast, a myriad of creepy crawlies and a few thrills and chills shouldn’t be missed.”
“A Creepshow Holiday Special” premieres on December 18th. First look down below.
“Creepshow” will then return proper for a second season in 2021.
You know video game adaptations are hot when even Golden Axe is making the leap to the screen. And indeed it is, with Deadline reporting that the Sega Genesis video game franchise that debuted back in 1989 is getting an animated series at Comedy Central.
Comedy Central has given “Golden Axe” a 10-episode order, Deadline reports today.
The voice cast for the animated series from CBS Studios in association with Sony Pictures Television and Original Film includes Matthew Rhys (The Americans), Danny Pudi (Mythic Quest), Lisa Gilroy (Jury Duty), Liam McIntyre (Spartacus) and Carl Tart (Grand Crew).
“Described as a hilarious and loving homage to Sega’s video game series, Golden Axe follows veteran warriors Ax Battler, Tyris Flare and Gilius Thunderhead as they once again battle to save Yuria from the evil giant Death Adder who just won’t seem to stay dead. Fortunately, this time they have the inexperienced and underprepared Hampton Squib on their side.”
Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Joe Chandler (American Dad!) will co-write the first episode and executive produce the series, with Chandler serving as showrunner.
The original Golden Axe video game was released in 1989, followed by sequels in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The series got a modern day upgrade with Golden Axe: Beast Rider in 2008.
