ROBOTO RELEASES KIDS’ FRIGHTENER ON NICKELODEON THIS HALLOWEEN
2010-10-29
The premiere broadcast of the upcoming kids' TV suspense drama SCARIACS, screens this Halloween on Nickelodeon. The pilot episode features two self-contained scary stories for 8 to 13 year olds.
"Bookworm" follows Annabelle as she befriends a book-hungry creature living in her Dad's shed and "Mindspace" has Albert running scared from the authorities with a powerful meteorite he finds in a park.
The pilot was funded by Nickelodeon Australia as part of their Land A Pilot com- petition in 2008, and the producers are now in negotiations to finance the series.
With additional development investment from Screen NSW in Australia, ROBOTO (the show's creator/producer duo Simon Adams and Shane Elsmore), presented Scariacs at MIPCOM in Cannes this October.
Scariacs was extremely well received by international broadcasters and distribu- tors alike, and Roboto is expecting to have the series underway in 2011.
The Scariacs Halloween special airs on Nickelodeon Australia Oct 31, 7:00pm
