What Will You Watch on TV Tonight?
As Summer TV nights go, this one is actually relatively big. Two new shows — Fear Itself and Swingtown — are premiering, while an established Summer favorite — So You Think You Can Dance — reveals its top 20 contestants. Plus, there's the start of the NBA finals and the end of Step It Up and Dance.
TV Tonight: Fear Itself
Making a horror series to the standards of network television can't be an easy task — but NBC has put some of the genre's best on the case. Fear Itself, the network's horror anthology series, premieres tonight, with the directors of films such as American Psycho and Bride of Chucky taking turns creating spooky one-hour episodes for the next 13 Thursdays.
There's nothing overly gory about these episodes — in part because that kind of thing would never make it past broadcast censors but also because the producers (who also did Showtime's Masters of Horror) thought that those R-rated elements had been pushed as far as they could go in films and on cable.
NBC Gets Top Talent for 13-Episode Horror Anthology
NBC has lured top-notch horror writers, directors and actors to collaborate on Fear Itself, a 13-episode anthology series of suspense and horror stories that sounds like it's going to be genuinely cool and scary.
Some of the notable actors involved include Brandon Routh (Superman Returns), Shiri Appleby (Charlie Wilson's War), Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men), Cynthia Watros (Lost) and Eric Roberts (Heroes). The group of writers chosen to contribute features Steve Niles (30 Days of Night), Dan Knauf (Carnivale, Supernatural), and a bunch of guys from Masters of Horror, among others.
