AMC has released images from the upcoming NOS4A2 TV series, based on the superbly creepy book by Joe Hill.

The series is from Fear The Walking Dead’s creator Jami O’Brien and stars Zachary Quinto as Charlie Manx, ruler of a scary horror world called Christmasland and a vampire who feeds off the souls of children.

The series also stars The Goldfinch’s Ashleigh Cummings as Vic McQueen,  and The Punisher’s Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Vic’s father.

In the book Vic has an ability that Manx can’t deal with and she’s the only one who can stand against his timeless evil.

The title, by the way, NOS4A2 is the number plate of Manx’s hell-car… and it’s a nod to Nosferatu – The Vampire. 

The more you know, right?

The supernatural horror series NOS4A2, based on Joe Hill’s bestselling novel of the same name, tells the story of Charlie Manx, a seductive immortal who feeds off the souls of children, then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland – an icy, twisted Christmas village of Manx’s imagination where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law. Manx finds his whole world threatened when a young woman in New England discovers she has a dangerous gift.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
