I have reviewed over 150 horror films on Dead and Lovely and taught a class on the undead at the University of Tennessee, so I know a thing or two about horror. The first episode of season 1 will be released on May 4. Episodes will be released every other week. The first season will end on July 6, after which I'll take a short hiatus to research and write season 2.
