by MoreHorror.com Staff,

This one isn't completely in the realm of horror, but since we love the dark and creepy tales from master Rod Serling's "Twilight Zone", we thought we'd mention it.

Femme Fatales is an upcoming Late-Night Series from Cinemax that was created in the vein of “Twilight Zone.”

Each episode is introduced by a mysterious and enigmatic host Lilith, played by Tanit Phoenix, and features different casts and storylines, some of which are intertwined.

In each of the 13 stand-alone episodes, women find extraordinary ways of coping with their problems, channeling their survival instincts and bringing out their inner guile.

From the creators of Femme Fatales Magazine, the show is inspired by and styled in the tradition of pulp stories, film noir and graphic novels, and takes place in contemporary settings. The half-hour program features stories similar to such noir movies as Bound, Dead Calm and Red Rock West. »
