It feels a little like a documentary at times, but the stories are\u00a0told in a way that&#8217;s very engaging. As stated on\u00a0<em>Lore<\/em>&#8216;s web site, it&#8217;s akin to a &#8220;campfire experience.&#8221;\u00a0I&#8217;ll be interested to see how well this translates into a TV show, especially since they could go a few different directions with the presentation.<\/p>\n<p>The Amazon series will be produced by Gale Anne Hurd (producer of AMC&#8217;s\u00a0<em>The Walking Dead<\/em> among other great shows and movies) and will have Glen Morgan\u00a0as the series showrunner. Glen Morgan was a producer on <em>The X-Files<\/em> series and also wrote some of my favorite episodes including &#8220;Home,&#8221; &#8220;Squeeze,&#8221; and &#8220;Ice.&#8221; With these two names attached, I&#8217;m very optimistic\u00a0that\u00a0<em>Lore\u00a0<\/em>will turn out to be something good. And looking at Amazon Video&#8217;s fairly sparse selection of horror TV shows, some good horror will be a very welcome addition.<\/p>\n<p>While you&#8217;re waiting for the show to debut, take a listen to the podcast over at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/Lorepodcast.com\" target=\"_blank\">Lorepodcast.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">References &amp; Links<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/phx.corporate-ir.net\/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&amp;p=irol-newsArticle&amp;ID=2209935\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/phx.corporate-ir.net\/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&amp;p=irol-newsArticle&amp;ID=2209935<\/a> (Amazon Press Release)<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The critically acclaimed horror podcast Lore is headed to Amazon Video next year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":685,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[330,331,332,328,329,228,333],"class_list":["post-681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-amazon","tag-gale-anne-hurd","tag-glen-morgan","tag-lore","tag-podcast","tag-television","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/lasttheater.cnjradio.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/lasttheater.cnjradio.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/lasttheater.cnjradio.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lasttheater.cnjradio.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lasttheater.cnjradio.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=681"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/lasttheater.cnjradio.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":693,"href":"http:\/\/lasttheater.cnjradio.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681\/revisions\/693"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lasttheater.cnjradio.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/lasttheater.cnjradio.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lasttheater.cnjradio.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lasttheater.cnjradio.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
