Series history

FreakyLinks (originally titled "Fearsum" until a few months before airing) was developed by Haxan, creators of the film The Blair Witch Project, and screenwriter David S. Goyer. Haxan Films is a Production company headquartered at the Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando Florida The Blair Witch Project is a low-budget American Horror film released in 1999 David Samuel Goyer (born December 22 1965) is an American Screenwriter, Film director and Comic book writer The talents of Haxan were highly sought after following the then-recent success of Blair Witch that had taken the entertainment industry by surprise.

Haxan decided to follow a similar marketing strategy as Blair Witch and created a website, long before the show was set to air, called "Freakylinks. com" which was cleverly designed to look like an amateurish, home-brew website made by real-life paranormal enthusiasts.

The website was fairly successful and seemed to create some amount of "buzz" but this did not translate into high ratings when the show finally aired. The show went on hiatus for a few months before returning the air to finish out the season, but was not renewed for the next fall television season.

However, during its brief run the show developed a devoted cult following. A cult following is a group of fans devoted to a specific area of Pop culture. Following the show's cancellation, an outcry arose among the fans and an online petition was created to ask the Fox Network to bring the show back for another season, without success. A petition is a request to change some thing most commonly made to a government official or public entity
