Travel Channel has greenlighted Trending Fear, a paranormal docuseries from Adam Ellis, author of the #DearDavid stories. The six-part series will premiere at 11 Pm Friday, December 20.

In 2017, Buzzfeed author and illustrator Ellis captured the image of a ghost child in his New York City apartment and wrote his first of many spine-tingling tweets: “My apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child and he’s trying to kill me.” In a state of fear and confusion, he documented his haunting on social media under the hashtag #DearDavid. Some 14 million people feverishly followed his terrifying experience, yearning for answers behind the little boy who invaded Ellis’ life.

In their ongoing quest to bring most of Charles Band’s Empire Films from the ’80s to Blu-ray, Scream Factory is releasing another double feature containing two of the studio’s better efforts: 1984’s The Dungeonmaster (aka Ragewar) and Eliminators from 1986.

Though omnipresent in the horror genre since Dead of Night in 1945 (or even Waxworks in 1924 if you’re willing to count it), the anthology film has rarely extended into the realm of sci-fi or fantasy—Heavy Metal aside, of course.
