The final season of Gossip Girl kicks off on October 8, 2012, and The CW’s finally debuted a teaser clip for the much-anticipated season six.

Is it creepy good or creepy bad? Until we see the feature film, it’s impossible to know if the trailer for Toys in the Attic is sending out the right vibe. At first glimpse, it appears Toys in the Attic might scare the crap out of kids – and some adults. Or, maybe once you give it a chance, Toys in the Attic actually grows on you…
 
Featuring the voices of Forest Whitaker, Joan Cusack, and Cary Elwes, Hannover House is releasing Toys in the Attic directed by Jiri Barta on September 7, 2012.

‘666 Park Avenue’ Preview: Plot, Cast, and Trailer

ABC takes a dive into the supernatural with 666 Park Avenue, a new one hour drama starring Terry O’Quinn. The new series premieres on September 30, 2012.

Terry O’Quinn stars as Gavin Doran, Rachael Taylor is Jane Van Veen, Dave Annable i Henry Martin, and Mercedes Masohn is Louise Leonard. The cast also includes Robert Buckley as Brian Leonard, Erik Palladino as Tony DeMeo, Samantha Logan as Nona Clark, and Vanessa Williams as Olivia Doran.

The Synopsis: What would you do to have everything you desire? Step inside “666 Park Avenue,” New York’s most seductive address. We all have some burning needs, desires, and ambitions. For the residents of The Drake, the premier apartment building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, these will all be met – for a price – courtesy of the building’s mysterious owner, Gavin Doran (O’Quinn). But be careful what you wish for because the price you have to pay is your soul.

When Jane Van Veen (Taylor) and Henry Martin (Annable), an idealistic young couple from the Midwest, arrive in New York City, the glamorous center of industry and media, they are offered the opportunity to manage the historic Drake. Jane, a small-town girl with big ambitions, always knew she wanted to be an architect. Henry, a member of the Mayor’s staff, is grounded, intelligent and tenacious. They are lured by the intoxicating lifestyle of New York’s wealthy elite.

Gavin, who has many skeletons in his own closet, is at the height of his world and commands the dark power of The Drake. Olivia (Vanessa Williams), his beautiful but enigmatic, supportive wife, wears her elegance, wealth, and position in society as armor… but cracks will slowly be revealed.

Jane and Henry not only fall prey to the machinations of Gavin and Olivia but unwittingly live in the dark embrace of the building’s supernatural forces which endanger the lives of its residents. These include Brian Leonard (Robert Buckley), a young playwright pining for his early success and promise. Brian’s wife, Louise (Mercedes Masöhn), is a rising hot star in the world of fashion photography.

Alexis Blume (Helena Mattsson) is a troubled young woman who is the picture of obsession — what is her real connection to Gavin, and what part will she play in Brian and Louise’s life? Tony DeMeo (Erik Palladino), The Drake’s doorman, is the eyes and ears of the building. And then there is 14-year-old Nona Clark (Samantha Logan), who has a blossoming psychic ability, allowing her to look into the future of her fellow Drake occupants.

Sexy, enticing, and captivating, home to an epic struggle of good versus evil, The Drake maintains a dark hold over all of its tenants in this new, chilling drama, tempting them through their ambitions and desires.
