Syfy has revealed that season four of the acclaimed horror anthology, inspired by original “Creepypastas” will be titled “Channel Zero: The Dream Door” based on Charlotte Bywater’s short story “Hidden Door”.
Synopsis for The Dream Door:
The latest season stars Brandon Scott (Channel Zero: Butcher’s Block) and Maria Sten (Straight Outta Compton) as newlyweds and childhood friends, Tom and Jillian. The pair return to Tom’s childhood home, with the desire to remake it into their new dream house. But, there appears to be many troubling secrets beneath the surface, and following the discovery of a secret door in the basement, these secrets might destroy their lives.
Supporting cast includes Steven Robertson (Elementary) as Ian, Tom and Jillian’s neighbor and psychology grad student. Due to Ian’s curiosity, he becomes involved with his neighbors and the horrors surrounding the secret door in their basement.
Steven Weber (Dracula: Dead and Loving it) stars as Abel Carnacki, Jillian’s therapist with questionable motives. Jillian confides in Dr. Carnacki about her relationship with Tom and the secret door, but grows frustrated due to his cold demeanor.
Nick Antosca, the creator of the Channel Zero series, will return as executive producer, showrunner, and writer. Evan Katz (of the brilliant, Cheap Thrills) will be directing this time around.
If you haven’t seen any of the previous seasons of Channel Zero: Butcher’s Block, No-end House or Candle Cove. They are definitely worth the watch, especially if you are an avid reader of “Creepypastas” and enjoy unconventional–thoughtful horror. You’re doing yourself a disservice, if you have been avoiding this series.
Butcher’s Block Via JoBlo
“The story of a young woman named Alice who moves to a new city and learns about a series of disappearances that may be connected to a baffling rumor about mysterious staircases in the city’s worst neighborhoods. With help from her sister, they discover that something is preying on the city’s residents.”
No-End House Via Horror Freak News
“The story of a young woman whose life is forever changed after she visits a bizarre house of horrors that consists of a series of increasingly disturbing rooms.”
Candle Cove Via JoBlo
“One man’s obsessive recollections of a mysterious children’s TV show from the 1980’s. Returning to his hometown after 30 years, Mike Painter tries to determine if his brother’s disappearance is somehow connected to a series of similar incidents that happened in the past—and to the bizarre children’s television show that seems to be on the air again.”
You can stream them all on Syfy… but only with the appropriate provider (figures). That being said, each season of Channel Zero is unique, creepy as hell and beautifully shot and scored. If you get the opportunity to watch them, I highly recommend it.
Channel Zero: The Dream Door premieres later this year on Syfy.
