Aja and Englund team for VR anthology series Campfire Creepers

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Alexandre Aja is currently in production on a new horror anthology series called Campfire Creepers, and the thing that's going to set this series apart from others we've seen up to this point is the fact that it's not going to be on a television network. It's a virtual reality series that will be available exclusively through the Oculus Store.

Created by Aja with Casey Cooper Johnson and Martin Andersen, who have written the first season, Campfire Creepers 

invites the viewer to join the fire circle at Camp Coyote as a group of campers take turns telling scary stories, each one leading you on an immersive ride into your darkest childhood fears.

Aja is directing all of the episodes, and horror icon Robert Englund has a role in one of them.

It's said that the director, working with VR studio Future Lighthouse, will be pushing "the VR story telling limits" with this series, "always playing with what could be possible", "utilizing new camera movements, editing, macro shots, etc."

This sounds like a cool project that horror fans could have some fun with, although I suspect that I'm never going to watch it. This new frontier of virtual reality is not a branch of entertainment I'm interested in exploring.

The first episodes of Campfire Creepers are expected to reach the Oculus Store this Halloween.
