Channel Zero	comment	Channel Zero is a SyFy original horror anthology series. Channel Zero presents six-episode seasons that are each based on a creepypasta.The first such season began airing in October of 2016 with the creepypasta Candle Cove as its basis. In Channel Zero's version of the story, famous child psychologist Mike Painter begins having nightmares about a show he watched on television as a child. The show had a brief run of only two months, but these two months also saw a series of bizarre and disturbing events befall the young Mike which culminated in the abduction and murder of his brother and several other local children. Seeking answers, he returns to his hometown of Iron Hill only to discover that the show he remembers, Candle Cove, has returned to the airwaves and a new generation of children are seeing it for the first time...The second season, based on the creepypasta "The No-End House", began airing in September 2017. Margot Sleator, a young woman still dealing with the recent death of her father, and a group of her friends attend the No-End House, a roving "art exhibit" containing bizarre and frightening imagery within its rooms. And as Margot and her friends will soon discover, there is so much more to the No-End House than a mere haunted house exhibit.The third season, based on Kerry Hammond’s "Search and Rescue Woods" creepypasta tale, the Butcher’s Block installment tells the story of a young woman named Alice Woods, who moves to a new city and learns about a series of disappearances that may be connected to a baffling rumor about mysterious staircases in the city’s worst neighborhoods. With help from her sister Zoe, she discovers that something is preying on the city’s residents. It began airing in early 2018.The fourth season, based on the story "I Found a Hidden Door in my cellar, and I think I made a huge mistake," began airing in late 2018. The Dream Door installment follows Tom Hodgson and his wife, Jillian, seemingly happy newlyweds who hide dark secrets from one another. When one of them discovers a hidden door in the basement of their new home, they unleash a dark force that threatens their marriage - and their lives.Season One stars Paul Schneider, Fiona Shaw, Luisa D'Oliveira, Natalie Brown, Shaun Benson, Luca Villacis, Abigail Pniowsky and Marina Stephenson Kerr.Season Two stars Amy Forsyth, Aisha Dee, Jeff Ward, Seamus Patterson, Sebastian Pigott, Jess Salgueiro, Melanie Nicholls-King and John Carroll Lynch.Season Three stars Olivia Luccardi, Holland Roden, Rutger Hauer, Brandon Scott and Krisha FairchildSeason Four stars Brandon Scott, Maria Sten, Barbara Crampton, Steven Robertson, and Steven Weber.On January 16 2019, the show was officially cancelled after four seasons and 24 episodes.Not to be confused with the owner of Canadian television stations and specialty services.

This is confirmed in the finale, when his true form is shown in Eddie's realm, and Eddie says that "Skin-Taker" is his real name.

Channel Zero / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The season is filled with it. Special mention goes to the scene where Ian helps Jill destroy Pretzel Jack. He holds her hand tightly and tells Jillian to "crush" Pretzel Jack, which leaves her panting for breath and results in Pretzel Jack exploding into a cloud of white liquid. Which takes on a sinister form when Ian's powers are manifested alongside a very clear sadistic murderous streak and a possessive desire for Jill. A lot of screaming is involved along with a very disturbing affinity for decidedly phallic electric saws.

Channel Zero / int_30d2689a	comment	Ominous Visual Glitch: The brief snippets we see of Candle Cove frequently experience "channel overlap" type interference with much less benign imagery. This may have an added creep factor for older viewers who experienced the days of analogue television broadcasting. For those who missed them: when atmospheric conditions are right, broadcasts from far away or on neighboring channels can create strange "overlay" effects on a weak signal as the two images partially combine. Annoying when a ghostly soap opera invades The Price Is Right; disturbing when a surgery scene from a medical drama intrudes on Sesame Street.

Emulated, although sans any actual murder, in Room 1, where eerily-accurate busts of the young people who've entered the House are set on plinths. The lights go out, then come on again to reveal that all but one (that resembles a girl who immediately chickens out and retreats outside) suddenly appear cracked open, with disturbing red-and-black hands pulling them into pieces.

Channel Zero / int_9e86e227	comment	The End... Or Is It?: The last event to happen in the series chronologically is Candle Cove showing itself to Lily, and Mike turning off the TV for her in ghost form - this despite that the whole resolution of the series was ensuring that Eddie - and by extension Mike - could no longer affect the real world. Showing that at least Mike definitely can casts this into doubt, and having Candle Cove reappear casts whether or not Eddie can influence the world into doubt too - the only other explanation is that he wasn't actually behind the show in the first place, no matter what the psychotic Frances Booth believes. Another possible interpretation is that Eddie is still able to influence the real world exactly as he did before, but now there's Mike with him, who may be able to use that same exact power to thwart his brother's efforts. It's probably possible because, as Eddie himself pointed out during the card game, Mike is able to draw power from the place they are both locked in exactly as Eddie.

He also pulls a Heel–Face Turn and helps save Margot in the end. Most of the sympathy also comes from a brilliant performance by John Carroll Lynch.

In Alice's mother's case, she manages to stab Zoe several times. Generally averted with Zoe, whose psychosis only really manifests as non-violent outbursts, and inverted with Alice, whose fear of mental illness ultimately drives her to commit greater acts of destruction than either her sister or her mother.
