True Terror with Robert Englund

With the outside world closing down, the ratings of television shows are surely going to be rising – and if you're a fan of Robert Englund, horror, Westerns, and/or American history, there's an interesting show premiering on the Travel Channel tonight, March 18th.

That show is True Terror with Robert Englund, and it's set to air for the first time at 10pm Eastern. 

I was able to watch all six episodes of the show a couple weeks ago and gave it a 7/10 review. Each episode contains three spooky stories, digging into 

the creepy and odd of America’s past, bringing viewers real stories that reveal sometimes our fears aren’t mere figments of our imagination after all.

Describing the show as "comfort food viewing", which is something many of us need right now, Englund told Forbes that the stories featured are 

not just something that was said around a campfire. They’re not myths, they’re not rumors. Some of them are urban legends now, but they didn’t begin that way. What I like about it, is every single story we tell was chronicled in an American newspaper back in the 19th [century] and even as far back as the 18th century and the early 20th century. I love that it has that certain amount of cred."

Check out the trailer for True Terror below, and get ready for the show to start in just a few hours.
