This Ghostober, acclaimed director Eli Roth is delivering more hours of his quintessential brand of horror and mayhem to the Travel Channel with two new series: ELI ROTH PRESENTS: MY POSSESSED PET, premiering Friday, September 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Travel Channel and URBAN LEGEND, premiering Friday, October 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Travel Channel, both also streaming on discovery+. On Halloween night, Roth teams up with paranormal investigator and executive producer Zak Bagans to debut a special two-hour cinematic collaboration with THE HAUNTED MUSEUM: 3 RING INFERNO, premiering Monday, October 31 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Travel Channel and streaming on discovery+.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to grow my incredible collaboration with Travel Channel, discovery+ and Zak Bagans,” said Roth. “They’ve given me the freedom to explore new creative avenues for scary stories and to bring fresh new directorial voices to the screen. I set out to help make this Ghostober the scariest year ever. You have been warned.”
Roth, along with his highly skilled team of directors, does not shy away from the gruesome and gory. His projects for Travel Channel and discovery+ are emotional journeys that evoke feelings of fear by turning seemingly ordinary realities into waking nightmares.
“Working with Eli and his team has been a dream, although in light of the content, I should probably say it’s been a nightmare in the most spectacularly epic way,” said Matthew Butler, group senior vice president, Travel Channel and Paranormal Streaming Content. “The horror genre is a natural progression for our network, and in combination with Eli’s talent, we have elevated our offerings to both frighten and entertain all fans of this style of scary storytelling.”
ELI ROTH PRESENTS: MY POSSESSED PET explores the true, terrifying tales of what happens when evil spirits, curses and demons take over family pets. Each of the four one-hour episodes will follow the chilling and deeply personal story of someone who has had their profound and loving relationship ripped apart by supernatural forces beyond their control. Using dramatic recreations, the real owners share how the beloved member of their family, that once had brought joy to their lives, transformed into the most horrible situation imaginable.
