Shudder‘s “Creepshow” is back with a brand new episode this Thursday, October 21st, and we’ve learned today that the latest episode will include an animated tale of terror.
Season 3 continues with an animated story, “The Things In Oakwood’s Past,” featured in the upcoming episode (305) starring Mark Hamill, Danielle Harris, Ron Livingston, Fayna Sanchez, Kate Thulin and Andy Daly. In the segment, “The town of Oakwood has a storied past, and the opening of a time capsule is an exciting moment of remembrance. But can a local librarian keep a darker part of the town’s history from repeating itself?”
Greg Nicotero & Dave Newberg directed “The Things in Oakwood’s Past,” written by Daniel Kraus and Greg Nicotero. You can check out some sneak-peek images below!
The episode’s other segment is titled “Time Out.” In that tale, directed by Jeffrey F. January and written by Barrington Smith & Paul Seetachitt, “Tim finds the answer to always wishing there were more hours in the day, but the success he can now achieve might not be worth the cost.”
“Time Out” stars Matthew Barnes, Devon Hales, Jibre Hordges, Lauren Richards, Jabari Marshall, Grant Feely, Shannon Eubanks, Kamran Shaikh, Emerson Bennett, Jody Whitehurst, David Alexander Kaplan, and Garrett Zehner.
A lonely Carrie White seeks friendship and answers in the first teaser for Carrie, a brand new adaptation of Stephen King’s classic story from horror master Mike Flanagan.
Along with the new teaser comes the announcement that the eight-episode limited series premieres on Prime Video on October 7.
The series follows misfit high‑schooler Carrie White (Summer H. Howell), who has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.
Carrie is written and executive produced by showrunner Mike Flanagan (Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House) with Flanagan also directing four episodes.
Stephen King also serves as executive producer.
Also starring in the series are Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette as Tommy Ross, Josie Tota as Tina, Arthur Conti as Billy, Thalia Dudek as Emaline, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.
Each of the show’s episodes will apparently open with the introduction of “a different, unique story of a different woman, somewhere else in the world and in time, coming to terms with their own abilities.” Flanagan teased, “Carrie’s specific place among that group of women is part of the real joy that we get to discover over the course of the season.”
Expect Flanagan to expand King’s story in unexpected ways, using a modern lens.
