Created by Adam Green, Holliston is FEARnet's first original TV show and will premiere later tonight. The scripted comedy/horror series follows Adam Green and Joe Lynch on their quest to become successful horror filmmakers.
Horror fans will easily spot a number of special guests in the first season, including Bill Mosely, Derek Mears, and John Landis. To get you ready for tonight's first episode, we have the synopsis and multiple video clips:
Holliston is a riotous and offbeat multi-camera, buddy comedy starring Adam Green (director, “Hatchet,” “Frozen”), and Joe Lynch (director, “Knights of Badassdom,” “Wrong Turn 2”). Set in the town of Holliston (near Boston), the series shines a light on the post-college life where everything is a struggle, and nothing works out like it’s supposed to, with terrifyingly funny results as Adam and Joe struggle to become big-time horror filmmakers, and Adam embarrasses himself as he tries to win back his high school girlfriend. Think of “Holliston” as “Big Bang Theory” meets “Evil Dead 2.”
The ensemble cast also includes Laura Ortiz (“The Hills Have Eyes,” “Horton Hears A Who”), Corri English (“Unrest,” “The Bedford Diaries,” lead singer of Brokedown Cadillac), Dee Snider (Twisted Sister, “Strangeland,” radio/television personality), and Oderus Urungus (Alien lead singer from legendary heavy metal band GWAR).
Episode 1 (PILOT) - "The Hooker": Adam agrees to go out on a double-date with his ex-childhood sweetheart, Corri, and resorts to hiring a hooker as his date when he can't find anyone else willing to go with him.
Episode 1 guest stars Deanna Pappas (“The Bachelorette”).
The first episode premieres tonight at 10:30 EST on FEARnet. For more information, visit: http://www.fearnet.com/holliston/index.html
