Creepy Rigatoni: Channel Zero, The Dream Door- 'Bizarre Love Triangle'

In the time between covering this Show, it was cancelled by Syfy!  This is the first time that anyone has ever been upset by such a thing!!!

Oh well- might as well enjoy the last 3 that I get.
In the Cold Open, we see the first time that our Heroine and the freaky Contortionist/Clown met.
In the Present, she tries to take control over the creature, which is driven by her anger.
Can she stop the creature that has already survived most things that would kill a person?
She then goes off with the person who can help her control her powers.  Is he someone you can trust though?

To find out, watch the Show (now on DVD/Blu-Ray/Streaming).
I missed this Show.  I took a break for many reasons- issues with the Show was not one of them.  The Story is still solid.  I like how it grows over the short course of Episodes.  As mentioned many times, each 'Season' is one Story and there's no follow-up on it in other Seasons.  They are 6-Episode, self-contained Stories.  As such, things move at a nice, steady pace.  After all, there's no time to hold things off until Season 2- there is none!  It's a shame that stuff like American Gods and Castle Rock didn't learn the lesson so far.  The villainous Contortionist/Clown is a freaky threat and a true testament to practical effects.  Could you imagine if they tried to make him CG on this Budget?!?  This Episode drops a couple big bombs and has some major moments that I won't SPOIL here.  I'll miss the Show when I'm done, but I'm going to sure enjoy it while I have some time left with it.  Speaking of enjoyment, a Character Actor from stuff like Payback and Bates Motel is here!
Next time, things escalate as more truths are revealed.  What creature will show up next?  See you then...
