Season one has begun
From Glass Eye Pix,the team behind I Sell the Dead, House of the Devil and more, comes a new venture in the macabre.
Inspired by the classic radio shows of Alfred Hitchcock, Boris Karloff , Peter Lorre, and Orson Welles, Tales from Beyond the Pale is a half hour downloadable audio program featuring notable thespians including Vincent D’Onofrio, Ron Perlman, Angus Scrimm, Shea Wigham, James Le Gros, Joe Swanberg, and Kevin Corrigan.
Hosted by Glass Eye Pix CEO Larry Fessenden, each thirty-minute episode is written and directed by one of todayâs horror auteurs like Joe Maggio (Bitter Feast)¸ JT Petty (The Burrowers), Graham Reznick (The Viewer) and Paul Solet (Grace).
Conceived during a fog-drenched car ride by Fessenden and frequent collaborator Glenn McQuaid, this project continues the mission at Glass Eye Pix to celebrate individual voices in the arts and to reassert the broad palette of moods that comprise the horror story.
Today, to celebrate the launch of this new Glass Eye Pix venture, a very special video from the notorious animator Voltaire will be released, featuring the Tales theme music by award winning composer Jeff Grace (Stake Land, The House of the Devil).
Rushed into release for the Halloween Season, the first episodes of Tales from Beyond the Pale will only be available through the website ($1.99 by paypal or credit card), but will soon be downloadable from itunes, Amazon and other outlets. In December, all of Season One will be presented in a deluxe CD package just in time for Christmas. Plans are ongoing to get the show onto the radio where it belongs, and look for the Tales from Beyond the Pale i-pad app very soon.
Head to the series’ official site and get to downloading Joe Maggio’s “Man on the Ledge” – the first episode!
