the core
of what makes the show is directly taken
from the comics
our show is a little more grounded in
reality and
in psychological thrill and horror this
is my first foray in the horror
we've shot this in a way that it could
be anyone's life
the show lives in these two different
worlds the world of
reality what is sane what is normal and
then we also have this other world which
is inhabited by
demons and by evil this family's
unnatural behavior i've never
experienced anything like it
what happened to them wasn't some random
family tragedy
their father was evil their mother
cursed for discovering the truth
hellstrom is a dark show but this is
life it's on an epic scale yes but
people
make choices with regard to good and bad
every day we're digging into some deep
layered heavy stuff this is the first
time that i've seen
a superhero show that go beyond powers
so we'll have the superhero fighting and
excitement but then you have these
incredibly
quiet intense scenes that are
so different from anything i've ever
experienced
my sweet little boy
who never should have been born
it's wonderful when you write something
and
you're like i wonder if this is going to
work and then you get talented actors
and you start to write to them we work
together then maybe we can bring mom one
step closer to being free
god i can feel the earnestness coming
through the phone
damon became warmer smarter and
sensitive he's been plagued his whole
life
by knowing that real evil runs through
his veins
an evil that he is constantly battling
to try and pull himself away from
excuse me for wanting to save her and
that is exactly how you got played
it gave you false hope that you could
save her playing on your unending
stupid guilt and what would you have
done i wouldn't have let it get this far
because sydney has such amazing range we
started to write
more towards an emotional side the
beauty
of her character is the singular mission
that she's on
to use the powers that she's inherited
to bring justice to people
the most important part of bringing
these characters to life was
making people care about them it is at
its core
a family show about a very messed up
family
