Arrival of the month of October marks the beginning of the scariest season of the year and also becomes the perfect excuse to enjoy horror with the best series and movies of the genre. One of them returns this week with its second season and is perhaps one of the most original series to come out of Dreamworks, the production company behind great hits like Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, and Shrek.

It is A Family Curse, an animated series created and produced by Jim Cooper and Jeff Dixon also featuring John Krasinski (The Office, A Quiet Place) among the executive producers. It follows the Vanderhouven family, a typical family except for the small detail that a curse has turned one of the protagonists into stone. To save him, the rest of the family will have to embark on a chilling adventure.

This results in a series that blends the best of action and adventure stories with the most chilling monsters. It's also a production that can be ideal for introducing younger members of the household to the horror genre.

Season 2

'A Family Curse'

In the new episodes of the series, we will see what happens after reversing the curse that has so far been a great adventure, just after Alex could reunite with his family, who are still working to undo the damage caused by their greedy ancestors.

They soon realize that there is something not quite right with Alex, so the family must come together more than ever to solve the mysteries lurking, both out there and within the walls of Briarstone Manor.

Terror suitable for all audiences

One aspect to consider about the series is that it is especially aimed at the younger audience and, although it has many elements related to horror, it's not a series that is very scary.

This is one of the new animation proposals from the Apple TV+ catalog, which has hit the mark with its more youthful programming. In this case, through an endearing and entertaining story where we find fantasy and a few monsters.

Furthermore, A Family Curse also has a very distinctive animation style that is not common on television, halfway between realism and a type of stroke with captivating colors and light.

Both its narrative elements and those related to its style fit perfectly into a light production that has already captivated viewers. And now that the series has returned with its second season, it may be an ideal occasion to give it the chance it deserves.
