Quibi, the short-form mobile streamer that’s set to launch on Monday, has tons of celebrities in its deep pockets—Will Smith, Reese Witherspoon, Chance the Rapper, the Reno 911! cast—but not much in terms of genre. One exception is 50 States Of Fright, an anthology executive produced by Sam Rami, that draws on the lore of America’s individual states to tell bite-sized horror stories. Today, the streamer dropped a spooky trailer for the series.
Set to a spectral rendition of “America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee),” the trailer shows snippets from a number of the show’s entries, which appear to touch on historical horrors, shapeshifting monsters, encroaching mobs, and a gigantic ball of twine that eats children.
If you’re curious to check it out before subscribing to the streamer, Quibi is offering early access to the show to anyone who enters their email address on its website by April 5.

“WHAT ON EARTH WOULD MAKE A MAN DECIDE TO DO THAT KIND OF THING?”
Points!
Speaking of which, he just put this online:
Where did he get the twine? What was going through his mind? Did it just seem like a good idea at the time?
this sounds like a good idea!
But which “largest ball of twine” are they talking about though? The cheating current holder of the title in Kansas, or the true, created by a single person one in Minnesota?
What’s The Matter With Kansas, indeed. One thing I’ve always wondered: are their really liberals in Liberal, Kansas?
Do they ever make it to the House of Mud, or do they just blow it off like the Griswalds?
Oh, man. If there’s one about Arizona’s Mogollon Monster, I may have to sign up for this stupid streaming service.
