Coming on the heels of Stranger Things, Nick Antosca’s mini-series Channel Zero: Candle Cove focuses on the 1980s and is one of the most intriguing and stylish horror series in recent years, airing on Syfy. With the success of Stephen King’s It, and a follow-up film confirmed for 2019 release, the 1980s continue to be a great point of reference for the horror genre. STARBURST had the pleasure of discussing Candle Cove with Nick recently.
STARBURST: Stephen King’s IT is doing excellent at the cinema and Candle Cove is timely alongside Stranger Things for tapping into the same period. Why is the 1980s still fascinating to filmmakers?
Nick Antosca: It’s relevant because the filmmakers are in the age for that nostalgia. I was a kid in the 1980s and I am sure that in ten years there will be a reflection of 1990s culture.
