'Creepshow': David Arquette, Tricia Helfer and Dana Gould Join Shudder Horror Anthology Series

AMC Networks' Shudder continues to get creepier and creepier – in a good way! The premium streaming service's horror anthology reboot of 1982's Creepshow has unveiled three new additions to the cast, as well as the names for three more of the series' 12-episode order. David Arquette (Scream, Ready to Rumble), Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, Lucifer), and Dana Gould (The Simpsons, Stan Against Evil) are set to join the project from executive producer Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead) – and here's a look at their respective episodes:

Directed by John Harrison and written by John Skipp and Dori Miller (from their short story), Arquette's "Times Is Tough in Musky Holler" tells the story of leaders who once controlled a town through fear and intimidation get a taste of their own medicine.

Written by John Harrison (based on a story by Harrison and Nicotero) and directed by Roxanne Benjamin (Body at Brighton Rock), Helfer's "Lydia Layne's Better Half" centers on a powerful woman who denies a promotion to her protégée and lover – but fails to anticipate the fallout.

Written by Paul Dini and Stephen Langford and directed by Benjamin, Gould's "Skincrawlers" focuses on a man who considers a miraculous new treatment for weight loss that turns out to have unexpected complications.

"Part of what makes Creepshow fun is getting a chance to work with some terrific actors who also love the genre. It adds that level of excitement when we get to share our collective love for horror in this fashion. David and I have worked together before and Dana Gould might be my equal in terms of all things horror. Then bring Tricia into the mix and Creepshow just shines. Getting to watch her exude power, grace and intensity in a story I wrote can't be matched."

In early April, it was announced that Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog, Swamp Thing), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), and Tobin Bell (Sawfranchise) would headline "Gray Matter" for the horror anthology.
