March 30, 2007 (NewKerala.Com / PHILADELPHIA) - Fearnet, the U.S. on-demand, horror-thriller video network, is getting off the ground with the help of high-flying "Spider-Man" director Sam Raimi.

Raimi is producing Fearnet's first two original series with the first -- "Devil's Trade," about three teens cursed by an item they buy online -- expected to be ready for audiences in early June, Variety said Friday.

The second series, due sometime in the fall," will be a prequel to "30 Days of Night," a vampire movie set in Alaska that will be released in October. Both are being written by Ben Ketai.

Raimi is producing the projects through Ghost House Pictures, a joint venture he's involved in with Robert Tapert, Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane. Fearnet is the multiplatform site kicked off five months ago in a joint venture by Sony, Comcast and Lionsgate.

Philadelphia-based Fearnet President Diane Robina said each of the ad-supported series will start with seven episodes with carryover storylines.

"I'd like to do four or five (projects) this year," she said.

Startling Revelations

People stand and stare at Me
eyes accusing, watching Me
makin' remarks and downin' Me
but still today I'm here.

They'd make me want to hurt Myself
want to break and bleed Myself
till My soul would leave this hell
but still today I'm here.

I got real strong to stop the tears
made Myself forget My fears
turned away and closed My ears
and today I am truly here.
