As part of Dread Central’s ongoing virtual panel series “Dissecting Horror,” we are excited to announce a live panel discussion on Wednesday, January 13th at 4 pm PST / 7 pm EST with the team behind the paranormal documentary series Hellier.
Panelists include executive producers/cast members Greg and Dana Newkirk, director/editor/cast member Karl Pfeiffer, and co-producer/cast member Connor Randall. The panel will be moderated by Dread Central’s Michelle Swope and Marcos Codas.
Greg and Dana Newkirk had been paranormal investigators for many years when Greg received a mysterious email in 2012 from a man claiming that goblin-like creatures were terrorizing his family in a small town in Kentucky called Hellier. After exchanging emails, the man disappeared. For the next few years, the case became even stranger. In 2017, Greg and Dana assembled a group of researchers, including paranormal investigator Connor Randall and director Karl Pfeiffer, who said he was drawn to the case by a series of synchronicities. The team travelled to rural Kentucky and what they uncovered led them on a journey that is both fascinating and mind-bending, causing them to realize that the case is much bigger than they could have ever imagined.
If you haven’t seen Hellier yet, I highly recommend you check it out before the live panel. You can watch both season one and season two Free at hellier.tv.
“Dissecting Horror” with the team of Hellier will be streamed live on Dread Central’s Facebook page and Twitch channel. The panel will also be made available on our official YouTube channel.
