Barbara Crampton enters Channel Zero: The Dream Door

The upcoming fourth installment of SyFy's original creepypasta anthology horror series CHANNEL ZERO will be called CHANNEL ZERO: THE DREAM DOOR and today we have word that none other than Barbara Crampton will be joining the cast of this new season. Crampton will be joining the already announced cast that includes Brandon Scott (BLAIR WITCH), Maria Sten, Steven Robertson, and Steven Weber (THE SHINING miniseries).

Crampton then took to Twitter to confirm the news writing:

Beyond thrilled to finally reveal this!! I was already a devoted fan of the show and to work on it was a dream door come true!! Amazing cast and crew. Thank you @NickAntosca and @SYFY

This to me is keeping with CHANNEL ZERO's penchant for casting classic genre actors in each of their respective seasons. BUTCHER'S BLOCK sported Rutger Hauer and NO-END HOUSE boasted John Carroll Lynch. Glad to see Crampton joining the list!

Nick Antosca will return as executive producer, writer, and showrunner for the upcoming installment, which will be directed by Evan Katz (CHEAP THRILLS), who will also co-executive produce. Based on the creepypasta short story “Hidden Door” by Charlotte Bywater, CHANNEL ZERO: THE DREAM DOOR follows newlyweds

Jillian and Tom, who have each brought secrets into their marriage. When they discover a strange door in their basement, those secrets start to threaten their relationship — and their lives.

Brandon Scott will star as Tom Hodgson, Jillian's husband (and childhood best friend), a capable and thoughtful man who is deeply in love with his wife. But he’s troubled when secrets from their past threaten the marriage.

Maria Sten will star as Jillian Hope Hodgson, a landscape designer who has just married her childhood best friend. They’ve just moved into the house where he grew up — a house they hope to transform, through their combined skills, into their dream home.

Steven Robertson will play Ian, Tom and Jillian’s next door neighbor, an open-minded psychology grad student who becomes involved in Tom and Jillian’s bizarre experience with the mysterious door in their basement.

Steven Weber will recur as Abel Carnacki, Jillian’s therapist. He has been listening to Jillian long enough to know about her trust issues and where they stem from. His quiet, controlled, almost hard to read tone is sometimes infuriating for Jillian, especially when she tries to talk to him about what — or who — was behind the door in their basement."

CHANNEL ZERO: THE DREAM DOOR will premiere on SYFY later this year.
