Fox's Night Terrors Tells Spooky Stories
New anthology series aims to be the next Twilight Zone.
March 9, 2000
Maybe Fox is finally coming to terms with the fact that The X-Files probably isn't coming back next season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. Television is producing an anthology horror series for the network called Night Terrors. The show is "in the tradition of The Twilight Zone," according to creators and executive producers Dan Angel and Billy Brown (Animorphs, The X-Files, Goosebumps).
As with The Twilight Zone, each episode will feature a different cast. The first episode will star Aidan Quinn (In Dreams, Practical Magic) as a transportation official investigating a plane crash. His character begins to question his sanity when he finds William Shatner and some freaky creature lurking under the wing and...just kidding! Actually, things get nutty when he begins to learn more about the people who were onboard, and begins to suspect that he was a passenger on the fatal flight.
The goal of the show will be to get some hot shot movie star for every episode. Sounds like it has some potential -- maybe it will fill the void in our hearts when X-Files takes it leaves of us.
