IFC Renews ‘Stan Against Evil’ For Second Season

Good news everyone! IFC just renewed its horror-comedy Stan Against Evil. What’s that? You haven’t heard of it? Well, now is your opportunity to get up on that! From the mind of show creator Dana Gould, Stan Against Evil combines everything you love of outrageous blood and guts with a no-nonsense anti-hero. The series debuted on Halloween night with an 8-episode run on the basic cable network. Despite its low ratings, the series benefited from its DVR viewership.

Just a recap for those not in the know, Stan Against Evil comes from Dana Gould, a veteran stand-up comedian who spent a good number of years as a writer and producer on The Simpsons. But Gould is also a die-hard horror fan, from classic horror movies to contemporary flicks. As evidence from his appearance on The Nerdist Podcast from 2011, Gould has an encyclopedic knowledge of all-things horror. So it was perfect for him to blend his comedic sensibilities with the genre.

In what’s best described as a mix between the cult classic Evil Dead films and the 1990’s television series Eerie, Indiana, the series took a look into the scary occurrences on a cursed small New England town known as Willard’s Mill. John C. McGinly (who perfected sarcasm and bitterness on Scrubs) stars as former sheriff Stanley Miller. He’s forced to resign after an outburst at his wife’s funeral. Did I mention that his dead wife comes back as a possessed demon?
