Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Shudder has ordered more episodes of both Creepshow and Slasher.

The fourth season of Creepshow will continue to bring to life a series of vignettes, exploring terrors ranging from murder, creatures, monsters and delusions to the supernatural and unexplainable. (Click here for our previous coverage.)

Slasher’s fifth season is subtitled Ripper, starring Eric McCormack. He will play the role of Basil Garvey, a charismatic tycoon whose success is only rivalled by his ruthlessness, as he oversees a city on the cusp of a new century, and a social upheaval that will see its streets run red with blood. There’s a killer stalking the mean streets, but instead of targeting the poor and downtrodden like Jack the Ripper, The Widow is meting out justice against the rich and powerful. The only person standing in the way of this killer is the newly promoted detective, Kenneth Rijkers, whose ironclad belief in justice may wind up being yet another victim of The Widow.

Both series are entering production this Spring for broadcast later in the year.
