Channel Zero: The No-End House | TV Series | English

Channel Zero: The No-End House, the second season of Channel Zero, finished production on November 11, 2016. Syfy plans to air the six episodes of season 2 in 2017. It was directed by Steven Piet. Don Mancini was the producer.

This season is based on a creepypasta called NoEnd House, where one would win $500 if one could successfully get through nine rooms of a building. Each room becomes progressively more sinister. The story follows David as he enters the NoEnd House. He heard about it from his drug-addicted friend Peter. The creepypasta was written by Brian Russell. On his Blogger, Brian posted NoEnd House II - Maggie, a sequel to NoEnd House. It follows Maggie, David's girlfriend, as she investigates his disappearance after his visit to the NoEnd House. There is also NoEnd House 3, where David has to save Maggie from the NoEnd House.

In Syfy's adaptation, a woman named Margot Sleator (Amy Forsyth) visits the No-End House. This visit turns her world upside down. John Carroll Lynch will star as John Sleator. Kim Huffman will star as Corrine Sleator.

Candle Cove Portraits | TV Series | English

Check out these drawings of the Candle Cove characters. I'm talking about the characters from the kids show with the TV show Channel Zero. There's a retro feel to the pictures. The art is unsettling. I think some of them are more unsettling than than the others because some of the characters remind me of characters from other media. The skeleton obviously reminds me of Skeletor from the kid's show He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. (Side Note: Have you seen Pioneers Press' Skeletor's Guide to Self-Care or the Skeletor's Guide to Self-Care (expanded, and includes awesome extras)?) There's one picture that has the caption, "In the dreams he has a different name." For some reason, whenever I look at that one, it remind me of Slenderman. Probably because of the entity's blank face and dark clothing. The entity in the picture with the caption, "Want to see something cool?" reminds me of the Lorax.

The season 1 finale will air November 15, 2016.

Monster | 10:43 | English

Monster - Jennifer Kent from Jennifer Kent on Vimeo.

A single mother battles her son's fear of a monster in the house, but soon discovers a sinister presence all around her.



Synopsis
A single mother (Susan Prior) has to deal with the dreariness of life and her son's, Samuel (Luke Ikimis-Healey), insistence on fighting the mysterious monster living in their house. She discovers the monster is a strange doll with long hair. Samuel claims the doll is real and plans to eat him. His mother tries to convince Samuel the doll isn't real and it can't hurt him. He doesn't believe her. She hides the doll in the closet under the stairs in hopes doing so will put an end to her son's monster fighting. Instead, his mother discovers Samuel was right about the doll. The Monster (Trash Vaudeville) makes his appearance at bedtime to claim Samuel. Will his mother be able to save him?

Director and writer Jennifer Kent later adapted Monster into her 2014 feature film The Babadook.
