The Worm and the Butterfly

“The Worm and the Butterfly” is a concept for a new TV series that follows a family of “freaks” with a past better left behind. A past that will come back to haunt them in terrifying ways. The folks in Freak Magnet are sideshow royalty because they were born different―bound together not by blood, but the shared pain of rejection. They’ve been beaten and abused but together they rise above as they tour the country. They are a family by choice, because all they have is each other.

But that bond will be tested time and again as each season brings a new horror that threatens to tear them apart. And it all begins with one battered book of EDGAR ALLAN POE stories... 

Created by William D. Prystauk and Vicki Speegle, “The Worm and the Butterfly” fills a horror gap that’s been left wide open with the terror and mystery that fans who love the works of Edgar Allan Poe crave. Each season is inspired by tales from the horror master himself.
