Creepypasta "Candle Cove" Coming to Syfy, with “Channel Zero”

The six-part “Candle Cove,” the first installment of “Channel Zero,” is based on an unnerving tale written by Kris Straub.

“Candle Cove centers on one man’s obsessive recollections of a mysterious children’s television program from the 1980s – and his ever-growing suspicions about the role it might have played in a series of nightmarish and deadly events from his childhood.”
