Todd McFarlane, creator of the Spawn comic-book, feature film, video game and animated TV franchise, is teaming with AngryFilms to develop a Twilight Zone-type series for the Fox network, according to Daily Variety. Titled Twisted, the half-hour anthology show is based on the comic-book series of the same name, which McFarlane owns. Each episode will feature a different tale of horror or sci-fi hosted by McFarlane himself.
Joining McFarlane and Angry Films in the production is Fox TV Studios’ alternative division, headed by Dave Madden. Trey Callaway (I Still Know What You Did Last Summer) will serve as exec producer/showrunner, with McFarlane, Terry Fitzgerald, Rick Benattar, Susan Montford and Don Murphy taking on exec producer duties.
McFarlane made his first foray into the video game business with last year’s release of Namco’s Spawn: Armageddon. In addition, he has written a sequel to the 1997 live-action feature film and is working with IDT Ent. on a new Spawn animated series. The first Spawn toon series aired on HBO from 1997-1999 and won two Emmy awards.
