Screambox series “Serial” delves into the chilling personas of the two depraved killers; Mabel Monroe, portrayed by true crime YouTuber Stephanie Harlowe, and Harold Nuemeister, brought to life by the talented Michael Ciesla. The series pays homage to the slasher films of the past, while weaving its own unique tapestry of suspense, mystery and terror.
In the series, “The residents of Ashbourne Falls, accustomed to a life of routine and safety, are about to face their worst nightmare as two brutal serial killers begin to stalk their community.”
With nods to classics like Halloween, Scream, and Friday the 13th, each episode is a thrilling ode to the genre’s most beloved tropes, with unexpected twists and turns aplenty.
Creators James Coleman and Vince Coleman, known as the Coleman Brothers, specialize in horror, thriller, and short films. They are best known for their 2019 horror fan film Halloween Inferno, which has surpassed 1 million views on YouTube and helped them grow an audience of over 20,000 subscribers. The viral success of Halloween Inferno ultimately paved the way for their debut feature film, The Burned Over District, which in turn led to the creation of their episodic series “Serial.” Shot across Upstate New York in and around Rochester, Albion, Spencerport, Webster, and Buffalo, “Serial” allowed the brothers to blend horror with sharp humor while giving themselves greater freedom to experiment with storytelling.
