Continuance Pictures and Screen Queensland present the pilot teaser to their upcoming horror/comedy series, Cursed. From creator Connor Fairclough and producer Tristan Barr, viewers will find themselves laughing at and screaming from the scares within the horror genre.
Isaac (Kyle McCallion) releases a curse on himself after fiddling with a Ouija Board one drunken night. Through each episode, he and his useless housemate Ned (Omar Al-Sobky) must deal with countless paranormal hauntings while managing their daily mundane lives.
Here are 5 reasons we’re excited for Cursed:
5) It’s A Clever Spoof!
The horror/comedy series parodies the clichés and techniques fans typically find in the horror genre. It’s a real challenge to find the humor and make the scares real like in Shaun of the Dead. The Cursed series will draw influence and spoof such recent horror blockbusters as The Conjuring, IT, The NUN, and Annabelle.
4) It Was Made Out Of Love!
Creator/writer Connor Fairclough states, “The show was born out of my amusement when watching various horror movies and placing myself in scenes, begging the question, what would I do if faced with different entities of evil?”
3) A Head Above Water Reunion!
The Head Above Water cast will also be on the show. Perry (played by Elliot Loney) is an unassuming but aspirational entity. Neel Kolhatkar plays “Charles D,” a pompous real estate agents assistant.
2) The Upcoming Episodes!
Ever been interrupted by an inter-dimensional force of evil while on the toilet? Or had to take responsibility of a possessed doll when you haven’t even mastered personal responsibility? Had to distance yourself from a clingy demon spirit in the form of a clown?
1) The Premiere!
The official premiere date of Cursed will be announced via social media.
