The animated show is now on Hulu & Peacock.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Eli Roth is returning to the world of family-friendly scares with Fright Krewe. Co-created by the genre vet and I Am Number Four author James Frey, the animated horror show centers on a group of teens in New Orleans who become imbued with special powers from mystical spirits known as Loa in order to combat the rise of the malevolent demon, Belial.
Eli Roth: It was actually before House with a Clock in Its Walls, weirdly, this started in 2015. James is a friend of mine, a dear friend, a writer I love, and we sat down, and we were talking about how there was nothing scary for our kids, and how the show that that still is the greatest [for that] is Scooby-Doo.
Eli Roth: Well, when you come up with a show like this, even the pitch process is very lengthy. First, you have to get the studio on board, and I remember we pitched DreamWorks Animation, and they're so good, they're very patient, so it can sometimes take a year to get the script right, or to get the artwork right.
I love how unique this feels. It feels 3D, but also feels very hand-drawn at the same time. What was it like finding that right look, and what were some of the big things that you really wanted to ensure stayed there, regardless of which artists came in? And then, of course, getting the voice talent [is important as well]. I want everything to look like a work of art when you're watching the show, I want it to be beautiful and cinematic and feel like you're watching a movie. That was the ambition of the show, and I think that the animators just hit it out of the park. Horror is so visual, especially when you're dealing with voodoo.
