 Thanks for checking out this video as the title says I'm going to be talking about the new creep show series that's being put together by shutter streaming service and First of all if you don't know about shutter I have a video all about shutter and why you should be subscribed to shutter if you like horror It is basically in my opinion at the moment like the premier place to go Especially for streaming for horror at the moment It is like five bucks a month if you do month a month, but I think it's like four if you pay for a year up front Anyway, they've been doing a lot of cool exclusive stuff I don't know if you've heard if people have heard But I think they announced it like early last year that they're doing a creep show series Yes creep show as in the movie from 1982 that was done by Georgia Romero in Concert with Stephen King and I think Stephen King actually showed up in it at one point As well as the Sun Joe Hill who is currently a writer, but anyway, they had a press release They put out I had said on another video that I'm currently getting the shutter press releases So I'll continually be doing these kind of update videos for shutter As I get information so I can pass it along to anyone who just wants to watch a video about it As opposed to read about it and have to like look around So if you're interested in that kind of stuff definitely do a subscribe for me Because you'll know When I'm doing these videos, especially I hit the notification bell then and you'll know every time I'm putting one of these up Like I was saying I just got this press release today. So this is hot off the presses. This was just announced today One of the things this creep show series is supposed to be kind of a series like masters of horror Which was done on the on I want to say show time. No, I think it was stars Back in the early 2000s and that was kind of like an anthology of a bunch of horror films like short films That was curated by mcgaris, which by the way, I'm almost done watching through every single one of those I didn't originally see it But I'm going through all those now and ranking them and going to do an overall review video with all my ranked episodes So that'll be coming out at some point. I still have two more to go It's been slow because I'm getting it through netflix dvd. Yes, I still do that because I have a great selection Better than the blu-ray because a lot of stuff hasn't come out on blu-ray. That is awesome and old So anyway, just going to read out some information About creep show that was put out today. So it is going to be serial like an anthology and At the moment they just announced their first casting prior to this. They hadn't been saying who was casting They had said that greg nicotero, who is very well known for doing awesome Practical effects and has been involved. I believe with the walking dead, which sorry. I don't watch the walking dead It's not my thing So he's helming the whole thing. He's producing it. He is doing a little bit of directing They did confirm that this I believe it's this first one that they're announcing the casting for He is directing that I don't know if he's directing any others They kind of insinuate with the way that they wrote it that he's not directing all of them And maybe he's only doing that one. Maybe he's doing like another one here or there But he's mainly overseeing the show And I'm fine with that greg nicotero very well known in the horror community very well respected. So I have very high hopes for this and I kind of have a feeling This is just a feeling because I I can't go off anything with this I kind of feel like it's probably going to be better than the twilight zone that's currently being done Which I think is on like cbs and jordan peels overseeing that I don't think it's because of jordan peel. I think he's awesome I think it's because that's on like a network channel and this is on shutter where they can show nudity and gore and profanity and like you can get crazy. You can do whatever you want So I'm more excited for the creep show series than Twilight zone, but I will watch the new twilight zone. So anyway, so the casting There's going to be a short story that's adapted from a steven king short Short story a short film that's adapted from steven king short story called gray matter and it's being adapted by Byron willinger and philip de blasie Not really familiar with them. Uh, it says they they were Involved with the commuter. I have no idea about that They may be kind of like new-ish to this kind of stuff as far as like horror goes. I don't know Don't know those names, but they're they've announced three people who have been cast In gray matter, uh, john carlo esposito from better better call sol Uh, I haven't really seen much from him, but the other two people I have tobin bell Who's best known for his turn as? um john in saw That some people will say he's jigsaw, but he I mean he is but billy's kind of jigsaw So it's got I don't know but anyway Tobin bell from the saw films people know him best for that But he was also in the movie the firm and he did a really good job in the firm He was also in a really awesome episode of the x-files. Super cool. I met the guy Really really nice guy super nice guy. Uh, he and I actually talked about my name carlin We ended up talking about george carlin for a while and he was talking about how He wishes that type of comedy was still alive and Yeah, it's interesting. I have a personalized thing signed by him On my wall up here where you can't see it, but Someday i'll maybe take that down show it, but anyway, uh, so it's it's um John carlo esposito tobin bell and adrian barbeau a stalwart of one of the stalwarts of the horror And sci-fi communities. Uh, adrian barbeau who i've also met and is a An extremely lovely person. She's so nice. She's so wonderful. Um So she's gonna be in that as well. So i'm I mean, I was sold on this as soon as they they, um, announced that they were doing a creep show series on shudder I was sold because a shudder has been doing an awesome job Be greg nicotero is overseeing it c steven king has some of his material being sourced for it and d Now this now these now I see these people um, so Gray matter there's a little synopsis of what gray matter is going to be like Doc and chief two old timers in a small dying town brave a storm to check on richie an alcoholic single father After encountering his terrified son at the local convenience store The story was published in 1973 originally and it was part of king's best-selling 1978 collection called night shift Um, yeah, so that's kind of the backstory on it Obviously the description doesn't give you a ton But going further down there's more information about some of the other people involved with it And this is another thing that really sold me on it. I saw legit Horror writers like people who write short stories and write horror books Who's materials going to be sourced for this now that gets me excited because a lot of like A lot of horror films and a lot of shorts not that it's a terrible thing But they end up getting um written by people who haven't ever done books or done short stories And I just feel like the richer better developed stories come from people who are legitimate authors So when I see them working in conjunction with legitimate horror authors, it gets me crazy excited as you can kind of tell So a little bit of information It's going to be six episodes in the season For which to me is a little bit depressing because I would like definitely like more than six I feel like that's a little bit light But honestly, I'll take whatever I understand They just need to see like how it's going to go initially and then they can kind of renew So okay with six. I mean, I'd like more but you know, I understand it So they're going to have a one called by the silver water of lake champlain and that is sourced from A script. I actually I believe the script is is done by joe hill who is uh, steven king's son There's a whole story behind why he goes by joe hill It's not super long though, actually I'll just tell you real quick. He was actually writing as joe hill for maybe about 10 years And the reason was because he wanted to run under that name because he didn't want people to know He was the son of steven king because he didn't want any preferential treatment He wanted to get published on his own merits So I think it was around 10 years or so He had been writing under that name and he was getting awards and he was you know selling books And then finally king clean was just like i'm actually steven king's son So gave him even more notoriety, but you know got to respect that There's a segment called house of the head and this one's going to be done by josh mallerman now people may not know josh mallerman's His name i sure do i'm on his third book He's got a fourth book coming out this year and a fifth book coming out this year to be honest This guy's pumping out books. He was in a band. I forget the name of his band never heard the music But he's busted on this scene in a very big way. He wrote the bird box book Which however you felt about the film I didn't really like the film all that much on netflix mainly because I had read the book that he wrote Well prior to that and I think the book is so much better It's really really hard to take a book that's focused on someone who can't see And make that put that into a visual medium and still Tell the story effectively in my opinion. So I don't really like that about it, but Um Josh mallerman's awesome. I read his book black mad wheel I was on that his writing is really good with that book But I just didn't like the overall story and i'm currently on his book unbury carol, which is super interesting And once again, the writing is really good And he's got another one coming out very soon called inspection and then he's gonna have one at the end of the year coming out that is a Prequel to bird box, which was kind of a surprise announcement very recently within the past few weeks. I think so I like josh mallerman I'm all in then there's one called the companion and it's going to be written by joe r landsdale Casey landsdale and keith landsdale. I don't know the relation there. I assume their family. There's my cat She likes shudder too. Don't you chloe? No, she's not paying attention. Anyway, um Uh joe r landsdale. I've actually not read any of his stuff I have seen a short film here and there that his material was sourced for And I've heard him do some interviews and he seems like a really cool guy and probably an awesome writer I do plan to start reading his stuff too. I know he's been around for a while as far as horror authors go But I will be getting to it. So i'm excited about that. I know he is good He is very well respected then there's one called the man in the suitcase and this is by christopher buhlman Don't know anything about chris from christopher buhlman, but the man in the suitcase sounds interesting There's one called all howlows eve That is by bruce jones I don't know. I also don't know bruce jones, but all howlows eve always for something with that type of title Then there's one called night of the paw and this is by johnis bezito I mean it sounds kind of like a monkey's paw type thing, but hopefully it's not most likely it won't be because that's a little overdone And then the last one is bad wolf down by rob shrab Shrob shrab something like that um And they say additional titles and casting are going to be announced relatively soon So most likely when I get that I will make one of these videos And apparently the series is going to be wrapping with filming this week when this video comes out It should be wrapped up by the by the end of this week. So That gets me excited. There's nothing in there about when we can expect it to be showing up on the shutter streaming service But hopefully it's on the sooner end rather than later um Honestly, I'd be I'd be cool if they hit it around october So that you know when people's maybe a little bit like mid september or something So people start getting geared up for halloween and for october in general. So, um, I don't know but we'll see anyway, uh, hopefully this was uh informative for people they found information that they wanted on it and, uh, Please hit that subscribe really helps me a lot and you always know when I'm doing these videos So anyway, thanks again and until next time keep it brutal
