John Carpenter, the legendary director of horror and sci-fi classics like Halloween and The Thing, is set to executive produce a supernatural horror anthology series for Elevation Pictures. The series, titled 'John Carpenter Presents', will be created and showrun by Michael Amo and Will Pascoe, known for their work on Pure and The Listener, and Orphan Black and Absentia, respectively. The first season will be set in the remote wilderness of Alaska, where a diverse group of characters will encounter a chilling mix of supernatural and existential terror, exploring the hidden fears and social anxieties of our time. This expansion into television marks a significant move for Elevation, which has been a powerhouse in film distribution in Canada, releasing a mix of art house and multiplex fare from producers like A24 and Neon. The series will channel Carpenter's iconic visual style and musical sensibility, as he wrote the scores and soundtracks for most of his films. The producers are excited to bring this series to audiences, with Amo and Pascoe sharing executive producer credits with Storm King Productions' Carpenter and Sandy King Carpenter. The series is set to explore the darker side of human nature and the unknown, with a focus on the supernatural, making it a must-watch for fans of horror and suspense.
