Executive produced by Sam Raimi (who also directed "The Golden Arm" episode), the horror anthology series 50 States of Fright originally premiered on Quibi back in April, and now new episodes have been added to the mobile streaming service, introducing viewers to urban legends from Iowa, Washington, Colorado, and Missouri.
These disturbing urban legends are brought to life by talented filmmakers Scott Beck & Bryan Woods, Lee Cronin, Daniel Goldhaber, and Cate Devaney, and you can get an idea of what to expect from the new episodes of 50 States of Fright in the trailer below. Also, in case you missed it, check out highlights from our conference call with Raimi earlier this year.
50 States of Fright explores stories based on urban legends from every state, taking viewers deeper into the horrors that lurk just beneath. This horror anthology series launched in the spring, showcasing stories from Michigan, Kansas, Oregon, Minnesota and Florida. New tales will be released from Iowa, Washington, Colorado and Missouri starting September 28th.
