The spookiest time of year is fast approaching and Nerdist and Geek & Sundry are teaming up again for another season of scares during NERDOWEEN, an annual celebration of all things eerie, macabre, and just plain weird. Throughout this ominous season, NERDOWEEN will frighten and entertain once again with a full lineup of ghastly programming on Legendary Digital Networks’ Alpha, this year with three new series, Bizarre States: California, Vampire: The Masquerade – L.A. By Night, and The Dark Side. See below for just some of the hair-raising highlights:
