TV: Flavor Flav's 'Nite Tales' Continues on Network
"Tales," described as "30-minute tales of irony and twists," originated with the BET movie that aired on Halloween and is set for DVD release Feb. 3 by BET, Paramount and Deon Taylor Enterprises.
Taylor describes the new show as "Tales From the Crypt" meets "The Twilight Zone," with Flav playing a role similar to "Crypt's" Cryptkeeper as he did in the BET movie. The show will have a Web presence, including an online contest Taylor is planning in which fans can name Flav's character.
Taylor said the show will be shot at his Sacramento-based soundstage. He is targeting a young audience that might not have grown up on "Crypt" or "Zone," for whom "Tales" would be a new concept.
Taylor also is planning a "Tales" movie every Halloween, including one called "Terminated," written with Thomas H. Fenton ("Saw IV"), that is intended for theatrical release this year. Taylor's other credits include the feature film "Chain Letter," starring Nikki Reed.
Yeah, I don't appreciate the spelling all that much either, but I saw the movie and it was actually decent, mostly due to the presence of Tony Todd.
Is it racist of me to hope that every 'Tales' actually is titled with a 'z' or a 'da' in the begining? Like,
'Da haunting'
'Werewolvz'
'Who da killaz?'
I would totally watch it if it were.
