Social Media Page of the Week

FEARnet has given , a "horror-sitcom" named for the town in which the show is set. The show is the brainchild of accomplished film directors Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2, The Knights of Badassdom) and Adam Green.

Hollistonians might already be familiar with the 36-year-old Green, who is a native son. Horror fans know Green as the director of Hatchet, Hatchet II and Frozen, among other films. His latest venture brings him back, in a way, to his hometown.

According to FEARnet's announcement, the show is an "outrageous and offbeat multi-camera, half-hour buddy comedy series" in which Green and Lynch will play "lesser versions of themselves." The sitcom will follow the lives of "Adam" and "Joe," two recent college graduates who aspire to become horror movie directors. They work at a cable access television station in Boston, where they host a a late-night horror film show called "The Movie Crypt."

Holliston will follow their struggles with women, money and their careers.

Created on August 7, the show already has a Facebook page, which has 113 "likes."

Unfortunately for Holliston residents hoping the town will go Hollywood, the show will not be shot on location. It will be shot in the real Tinseltown, which will serve as the fake Holliston.
