Well, not literally but horror icon, Robert Englund, is coming to a tv near you in the new Travel Channel show True Terror with Robert Englund.

The icon will be introducing recreations of “real” scary stories from America’s history.

“I’m calling it a dark docudrama-Twilight Zone,” the actor told Entertainment Weekly. “What I like about it is, even though it’s myths and legends, they all were reported in a newspaper. They have a certain journalistic-reportage-cred that I think differentiates it from a show about UFOs or paranormal [activity]. We have our share of ghost stories, but these are ghost stories that were reported in newspapers and periodicals. So, even though perhaps we’ve outgrown some of those superstitions and we can explain some of those things better now in the 21st century, I still like the idea that these were stories that came from newspapers and I love the fact that they are part of our history. And then there are the ones that are obviously true, like people being buried alive during the yellow fever epidemic.”

The project was announced last April, you can check out the trailer below:
