Trailer For E4’s Brand New Demon-Slaying Horror Comedy CRAZYHEAD

by Dave Elliott

E4 has a brand new horror comedy coming the channel this Autumn called CRAZYHEAD, and it’s looking brilliant!

From the creator of Misfits, Howard Overman, the series stars Chewing Gum’s Susan Wokoma and Downton Abbey’s Cara Theobold as Raquel and Amy, two 20 twenty-somethings who find themselves battling demons! A little bit Buffy, but with a very British twist, it’s definitely going to be a show to watch out for when it lands this Autumn.

When people die most go quietly into the night. But some have unfinished business: scores to settle, blood to spill, axes to plant in people’s heads…These tormented souls work through their issues by possessing the living. Most of the time they walk freely amongst us, unseen by all but a special few.

Amy (Theobold) is one of those few. She works in a bowling alley and never really imagined herself battling the legions of hell. It can play havoc with a girl’s love life. Not to mention her mind. Thankfully Amy isn’t alone. Enter Raquel (Wokoma). Armed with Wikipedia and a baton she bought on Ebay, Raquel’s a self-made demon hunter with a whole lot of baggage and an impressive lack of social skills.

An unlikely friendship is born as Amy and Raquel attempt to navigate their way through the choppy waters of their early twenties whilst simultaneously kicking the ass of some seriously gnarly demons. What could possibly go wrong?

“I had this idea that these girls were both battling their demons in friendship and love and all the sort of messed up sh*t you have to deal with in life, as well as actual demons.” comments creator Howard Overman. “It’s as much about their friendship as the horror genre elements, about two slightly lost girls who find each other.”

CRAZYHEAD, is co-funded by Netflix, so we will get it on E4 in the Autumn here in the UK, then it will land on Netflix for the rest of the world in 2017.
