Roth and James Frey's animated DreamWorks horror series haunts both Hulu and Peacock in October.
The Big Picture Spirits and demons are about to be unleashed upon New Orleans with the new DreamWorks animated series Fright Krewe. Billed as a gateway into horror for older kids and teens, the show sees five misfit teenagers who stumble head-first into trouble after awakening a voodoo queen along with the ancient evil lurking beneath one of the most haunted cities in America.
Fright Krewe's ragtag group of heroes opens the trailer by exploring one of New Orleans' famous above-ground cemeteries when the leader of the bunch, Soleil pricks her finger on a branch of a massive tree at the base of a large memorial. Her blood reawakens the spirits of those residing there, including the ancient evil lurking in the tree's roots - Belial .
Horror is untrodden ground for DreamWorks despite their history of creating beloved animations that can tackle more adult themes. Recently, the studio brought one of their most acclaimed films yet, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, to theaters which directly confronted death and mortality. Still, a partnership with Eli Roth, the mind behind the brutal Hostel franchise and Green Inferno was hardly seen as likely.
Who Is Joining 'Fright Krewe' in Season 1? With the trailer's release, DreamWorks was also able to announce the full cast for Fright Krewe which is packed with talent. The main crew includes Mikayla and Colimon alongside Tim Johnson Jr. as Maybe, Grace Lu as Missy, Chester Rushing as Stanley, and Terrence Little Gardenhigh as Pat.
Fright Krewe Season 1 consists of ten episodes and premieres on October 2 on both Hulu and Peacock. Check out the trailer below.
