At its upfront presentation this evening, Syfy<\/strong> will unveil a high-profile new scripted series from Jamie Foxx<\/strong> and his Foxxhole Prods. The Oscar winner will executive produce, write and direct the five-episode horror anthology series, which will debut during Syfy\u2019s annual 31 Days Of Halloween<\/em><\/strong> programming marathon this October. Foxx might also appear on the yet-untitled series, which is produced by Universal Cable Prods.<\/p>\n

In the vein of horror classics like Tales From The Crypt<\/em> and The Twilight Zone<\/em>, the contemporary series tells creepy morality tales with themes such as envy, jealousy and superficiality. \u201cThis is a project that I\u2019ve wanted to do for a long time and I\u2019m so happy to see it come to life,\u201d<\/strong> Foxx said. \u201cGet ready to lose it when some special friends and I bring the scares this October, and who knows\u2026 maybe I\u2019ll make a guest appearance or two along the way!\u201d<\/strong> Added Syfy\/UCP\u2019s Mark Stern, \u201cJamie Foxx\u2019s passion and unique perspective will transform these universal insights on the human condition into emotionally potent and truly scary cautionary tales.\u201d<\/p>\n

Troy Miller<\/strong> (Flight Of The Conchords<\/em>) will executive produce the series through his production company Dakota Pictures, along with Foxx, writer Jeff Stilson, Jaime King<\/strong> and Julie Yorn<\/strong>. Writers on the project also include Mike Ferris<\/strong> (Terminator: Salvation<\/em>) and John Pogue<\/strong> (Army Wives, Everwood<\/em>). In addition to the Foxx series, Syfy today is also announcing the green light for three new unscripted shows<\/a>.<\/p>\n
