Hey folks, hope you're all keeping safe out there. Hopefully our daily Quarantine Quiz and content is helping you a bit. As this week draws to a close, here's our weekly horror news round up. Greg Nicotero gave us all some wonderful nightmare fuel as he unveiled a huge Spider puppet for Series 2 of Creepshow.
"Even though filming for CREEPSHOW season 2 is delayed, I wanted to give you a little glimpse at one of the puppets IN PROGRESS before “the pause”. A wee bit more hair work and need to connect controllers for body and mandible articulation. It’s tough to get too close to this cause I am terrified of spiders but good therapy I guess. #creepshowtv #creepshow #animatronics"
