Where would you go if you were a Vampire, werewolf, or Zombie?

Death Valley, of course!

With the success of Teen Wolf, it is not surprising to find that MTV is premiering another preternatural show, Death Valley. In a mix of Cops meets Shaun of the Dead, Death Valley looks as if it may be an extremely funny Vampire/Zombie/Werewolf parody. Premiering August 29 at 10:30/9:30c, viewers are in for a bumpy ride as they go to the streets with the cops as they fight to end the supernatural invasion.

A year ago, vampires, werewolves and zombies mysteriously descended upon the streets of California’s San Fernando Valley. Death Valley is the dark comedy that follows the cops that capture the monsters, and the camera crew that captures the cops. 

Follow the horrific yet comedic exploits of the newly formed Undead Task Force (UTF), a division of the LAPD created to combat the emergence of monsters in the San Fernando Valley. Death Valley showcases the outrageous and courageous men and women working the toughest beat in the US: Death Valley. 

Balancing dark humor with horror, the show is built upon cold-blooded conflict and character driven comedy, following the cops bent on keeping the streets safe from the presence of the paranormal. Documenting each case of zombie, vampire and werewolf encounter is the daring camera crew that is embedded within the task force, quickly revealing that the monster problem goes much deeper than anyone could have possibly imagined. 

Full of subtext about living in today’s insane world, Death Valley is at its core a fun, non-stop thrill ride featuring chases, hardcore kills, and extraordinary creatures. The zombies are disgusting, menacing and brutal, the vampires are dangerous, smart and powerful and the werewolves are beastly and insane. From “blood-for-sex” prostitution busts to undead traffic jams, every call from dispatch will take you to a place you’ve never been: right to the bleeding heart of Death Valley.

Malfoy still villain of choice at 2011 MTV Movie Awards

MTV Movie Awards' Best Villain Tom Felton

When it comes to being bad, Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the popular Harry Potter film franchise, does it well. His sneering arrogance has worked its magic, earning him more golden popcorn at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards.

“I’ve reduced a few minors to tears,” Felton admitted in a backstage interview.

Despite defending his infamous “Best Villain” title again this year, Felton seems a very decent guy. Not only has he tweeted his thanks to Harry Potter fans

He also acknowledged it during an interview after his win, saying how amazing he found it that Harry Potter fans get more and more passionate with the years rather than diminishing.

MTV Movie Awards: Gentlemen Wolves

Say what you like about vampires that sparkle. At the 2011 MTV Movie Awards it was the wolves that shone as consummate gentlemen. With rain falling, the backstage interviews were interesting, to say the least. Members of the wolfpack, however, rose to the occasion, gallantly filling the role of umbrella for their lovely Twilight Saga costar who got to wield the microphone.

The Twilight Sage: Eclipse collected the most golden popcorn at the event. The film won in five categories: Best Movie, Best Female and Best Male Performances, Best Kiss and Best Fight.
