Syfy’s Channel Zero: Butcher’s Block will test the series in new ways as it becomes the first season to deviate significantly from the original creepypasta story on which it is based. The third season of the horror anthology series is based on the eight-part story ‘Search and Rescue Woods,’ by Kerry Hammond. Like some other popular creepypasta, the story unfolds in sections meant to resemble a chat room or comments section. This particular story involves the peculiar goings-on encountered by a member of a Search and Rescue team, including several strange and unsettling events that go well beyond missing persons, like the spontaneous disappearance of children, supernatural beings in the woods, and the most resonant element: the unexplained and seemingly random sets of stairs found deep in the wilderness.
