One of the best series on Quibi is the Sam Raimi-produced horror anthology “50 States of Fright” (review), which recently returned with an all-new season that explores stories based on urban legends from Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, and Washington.
Quibi partnered with five artists from Gallery 1988, LA’s popular gallery showcasing emerging artists focused on pop culture and entertainment, with each creating original artwork inspired by the new episodes, representing the urban legends of their own hometowns, showcased in the series.
