Let Backrooms, Obsession, and Oak Street be your off-ramps to The Twilight Zone
Disappointed that our summer of genre potboilers is coming to an end? Have you considered Rod Serling’s immortal anthology series?
While Obsession, Backrooms, Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma, The End Of Oak Street, and It Ends have generated buzz, the questions remain: where, when, and how will the next breakout horror film emerge? Will it stem from the YouTube-to-movie pipeline pioneered by Curry Barker and Kane Parsons, or from the digital creepypasta tales that permeate the online world?
Could a major-studio level-up be on the horizon, following the footsteps of David Robert Mitchell's time-traveling thriller The End Of Oak Street? Or, perhaps, the spark for the next horror hit could be found in a venerable TV anthology series that has long captivated the imaginations of filmmakers.
