This threw me. "Penny Dreadful" must mean something somewhere, because that was the name used for a B-rated Afterdark horror movie, and it was not the equivalent of League of Extraordinary Gentleman: The Villains. Though it's an interesting concept

Whoa, great find. Makes me question the motives behind naming the horror movie this, then. Makes no sense from that perspective lol But thanks for the research nonetheless

[Shauna]

It wasn't really research, I knew about them beforehand. xD Linking to wikipedia is just easier than using my own words. But you're welcome. :3

Looks kinda cool and kinda cheap. I'll definitely give it a try to see how it measures up to AHS.

I think this behind the scenes video gives a pretty good feel for the show and what it's about.

[Shaibana]

and im convinced its 1 contineus story

p.s seeing the trailer makes me a little scared that it has as much sex-scenes as Spartacus :l

The song is from Mass Effect in that hahahahaha omg. It was from mass effect. I'm such a soundtrack nerd. Just take out the reaper noises.

OMG I MUST LOVE THIS SHOW. IT'S IN THE MUSIC. Start at 1:00 of that trailer behind the scenes you posted then listen to this



Seriously, listen to it. My obsession with soundtracks paid off.

[Dark_Valentine]

I've been waiting for it to come out! The fact that it's being directed by the guy who did The Orphanage is awesome
