Sigh.  It’s November 1st, the official time of year where everyone forgets about Halloween and skips straight to Christmas. Boo.  If you, like me, have the Halloween blues, then I have a present for you: the first episode, in full, of new horror-comedy Stan Against Evil, which made it’s premiere last night on IFC.

The new series, from the mind of Dana Gould (The Simpsons), officially premieres with two back-to-back episodes on Wednesday, November 2 at 10PM and 10:30PM on IFC. The series will air the remainder of its 8-episode first season with two back-to-back episodes every Wednesday at 10PM and 10:30PM throughout November.  Each week, episodes will be available on IFC and AMC digital platforms the day after they premiere on-air.

Starring John C. McGinley (Scrubs) and Janet Varney, the show immediately embraces B-movie horror.  Light, humorous, campy, and violent, Stan Against Evil looks to give Ash vs Evil Dead some competition in the televised horror comedy department. Considering my Halloween blues, it’s the precise type of entertainment that I could use right now.

Show Synopsis
The series follows Stan Miller (McGinley), a perpetually disgruntled former sheriff of a small New England town who was forced into retirement. Stan has trouble relinquishing his authority to Evie Barret (Varney), his tough and beautiful replacement, but they form an unlikely alliance when both begin to realize things are not quite right in their quaint New England town. Together, they valiantly fight a plague of unleashed demons that have been haunting the town, which just happens to be built on the site of a massive 17th century witch burning.
