Glass Eye Pix, celebrating 40 years in operation with a vast slate of captivating independent genre movies that include DEPRAVED, I SELL THE DEAD, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, STAKE LAND, DARLING, and MOST BEAUTIFUL ISLAND, is pleased to announce a sixth season of their sensory-rich genre audio drama TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE.

 

Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid’s audio series is back with a new slate of Tales to keep you awake at night. Says McQuaid, “Here we are, a little older, none the wiser, and once again trudging beyond the pale with a brand-new collection of Tales. This season gathers some of the sharpest, strangest, and most brilliant writers we’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. The mics are hot, the celery’s snapping, and the tape is rolling.” Fessenden adds, “It’s delightful to be back making mischief with artisans old and new. In a time when mounting a movie is so arduous, it’s fun and essential to be able to tell stories in a more spontaneous format.” 

 

TALES celebrates its return with today’s frightful little teaser, starring youngsters Jaxon Bartok and Leon Barrett, directed by Fessenden, and penned and scored by McQuaid. The sixth season’s poster is by Tales regular Brian Level and the series’ returning theme is composed by Jeff Grace.
