SYFY Pays Homage to 'Nightmare on Elm Street' with New 'Channel Zero' Teaser

To continue to build excitement for the second season of SYFY's surprisingly successful horror series Channel Zero, a new teaser for the upcoming season has just been released that gives off some serious Nightmare on Elm Street vibes. You can check out the teaser above.

In the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, one sequence featured Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) asleep in her bed and, to convey the presence of Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) invading her dreams, showed the wall above her bed being penetrated by a figure's head and hands, reducing the physical properties of the wall to resemble nothing more than a bed sheet.

Season 2 will be coming this fall, focusing on stories based around the "No-End House." Following Brian Russell's story, a young woman visits a mythic house with a group of friends, which is filled with rooms full of disturbing horrors, each one more awful than the next. The first season was called "Candle Cove," which followed a man's quest to track down the mysterious origins of a children's program from the '80s that tied into a series of kidnappings.

All of the stories that will be featured on future seasons of Channel Zero are inspired by "creepypastas," which are horror stories that originate online.

"Channel Zero certainly hit a nerve with Candle Cove," President of USA and SYFY Chris McCumber recently revealed. "We look forward to creeping everyone out again this fall with No-End House– and can't wait to see what nightmares [showrunner] Nick [Antosca] has in store for the future."

Earlier this year, Bloody Disgusting reported that Season 3 of the series will be titled "Staircases." Per their site:

"Brandon Scott (Blair Witch) and Holland Roden (Teen Wolf) were the first to join the cast, with Scott playing Officer Luke Vanczyk, a young but already jaded cop, living in the shadow of his father, the Chief of Police. Luke's world-weary exterior hides a fierce commitment to justice, and a deep love for his troubled community.

"Roden will play Zoe Woods, a sharp, tough young woman whose struggles with mental illness have worn her down over the years. She hates that her younger sister, Alice, has to take care of her and she'd give anything to go back to the way things used to be."

Nick Antosca will once again serve as showrunner with Max Landis serving as an executive producer.
