CURSES! is an animated family adventure comedy about the Vanderhouvens, a family that has a generation curse that has turned their father Alex into stone. In order to reverse the curse Pandora, Russ, and their mom Skye have to do right by these artifacts and get them back where they belong.

The series features the voice talents of Emmy Award nominee Gabrielle Nevaeh (“Monster High”) as “Pandora,” Andre Robinson (“The Loud House”) as “Russ,” Emmy Award nominee Lyric Lewis (“Waffles + Mochi”) as “Sky,” SAG award winner Reid Scott (“Veep”) as “Alex,” Rhys Darby (“Our Flag Means Death”) as “Stanley,” James Marsters (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) as “Larry,” Emmy Award winner Rhea Perlman (“Barbie”) as “Margie,” Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad (“A Raisin in the Sun”) as “Georgia Snitker,” and Robert Englund (“A Nightmare on Elm Street”) as “Cornelius.”

I talked to creators and executive producers Jim Cooper (“DreamWorks Dragons”) and Jeff Dixon (“The Hurricane Heist”), as well as director and supervising producer Leo Riley (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Tron: Uprising”) about creating an Indiana Jones-influenced series, but in reverse, creating family-friendly horror, the unique animation style, and what an animated version of themselves would wear.

Curses! premieres October 27 on Apple TV +.
