Horror fans, prepare to enter a world where the cocktails are strong, the company is delightfully strange, and things are never quite what they seem! Genre favorite Ted Raimi is putting his own wonderfully twisted spin on the traditional talk show with “Your Dearest, Darkest Friend with Ted Raimi,” and the official trailer has just made its debut!
Equal parts old-school speakeasy, surreal comedy, and spooky spectacle, the upcoming series promises a one-of-a-kind experience that celebrates the creative minds behind the horror genre. Created by Ted Raimi and streaming exclusively on SCREAMBOX beginning October 30, the show will feature a mix of established horror icons, emerging talents, and filmmaking legends, with official guest announcements coming soon.
The series is produced by Tony Wash, Charlie Queen, Lauren Leshansky, and Ted Raimi.
Check out the newly released trailer and official synopsis below!
Official Synopsis: A classy & creepy talk-show that takes the sterile interview format and turns it on its shrunken head. Our host, Ted Raimi, will take the horror-obsessed into his frighteningly fantastical home to reveal what’s behind the greatest minds in modern horror, all while mixing up some of his personal favorite boozy beverages and signature mocktails.
Guests, including horror staples, emerging talents, and filmmaking legends, are invited to spend an immersive night at the manor. They will enjoy an in-depth conversation with Ted Raimi about their craft, savor a personalized, expertly crafted cocktail, and explore Ted’s collection of oddities and haunted relics.
The experience is enriched by interactions with the manor’s peculiar residents, such as Mortimer Dustworth, the enigmatic right-hand man and original owner, and even a few Crypt-worthy creatures.
This show is for horror lovers, by horror lovers. As a self-proclaimed “Fabulist,” Ted Raimi curates each guest’s trip into a cinematic event that’s one-part speakeasy of an era past, one-part fever-dream a-la Pee-wee’s Playhouse, and a dash of spooky spectacle that doesn’t dare end without a peculiar parting gift from yours truly, Ted Raimi.
