It was \u201ctbt,\u201d or throwback Thursday, a weekly excuse to post a picture from one\u2019s past. Dippold chose an image of herself sitting with a group of friends at a Halloween party, dressed as the titular character from the horror film \u201cThe Babadook.\u201d The costume\u2014doofy top hat, smeared white paint\u2014suggested full commitment to the bit. The only problem was that no one else in the photo was dressed up. Dippold captioned the post \u201cTbt to Halloween when I dressed as the babadook but my friend\u2019s house had more of a grown ups drinking wine vibe.\u201d The heady mix of emotions the image stirred up\u2014amusement, horror, secondhand humiliation\u2014made it go hugely viral. In an interview with <em>New York<\/em>, Dippold said, \u201cI feel like that tweet just shows my soul.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=586\">\u201cThe Invite\u201d Is a Witty Relationship Comedy That Could Be Wilder<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Dippold is a prolific comedy writer, who got her start on \u201cMADtv,\u201d wrote for \u201cParks and Recreation,\u201d and has worked on films such as \u201cThe Heat\u201d and the \u201cGhostbusters\u201d reboot. But her dream was to make a series that combined her lifelong passion for horror movies with her absurdist comedic instincts (essentially, the spirit of her \u201cBabadook\u201d tweet, adapted for television). She grew up in New Jersey in the eighties, and she had formative memories of visiting a haunted house on the boardwalk: \u201cIt was so scary,\u201d she has said. \u201cAnd I was also laughing so much, and I felt giddy, and that\u2019s a kind of feeling I\u2019ve been chasing my whole life.\u201d She first tried to capture this feeling back in 2009, in a spec script she wrote to land a job on \u201cParks and Recreation,\u201d which asked: What if the residents of a small town like Pawnee had to face nightmares beyond administrative red tape?<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>That episode was never made, but after what Dippold described as \u201cyears and years of trial and error,\u201d she recently realized her vision in the form of \u201cWidow\u2019s Bay,\u201d a new comedic horror series that just concluded its first season on Apple TV. There have been many scary television shows that are also funny (\u201cDexter,\u201d \u201cSanta Clarita Diet,\u201d even \u201cHannibal\u201d) and many television comedies that traffic in horror tropes (\u201cWhat We Do in the Shadows,\u201d \u201cLos Espookys,\u201d \u201cSearch Party\u201d), but few, if any, provide a seamless blend of humor and frights. The comedies often fail to elicit real goosebumps, and the thrillers often deploy comedy so erratically that they veer into camp. \u201cWidow\u2019s Bay,\u201d excelling in both modes, has the rare distinction of striking a tone that feels genuinely new. It is easily one of the best shows of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The setting is a tiny, fictional island three hours off the coast of New England, reachable only by ferry. The time is the present day, though, perhaps owing to its isolation from the mainland, the island seems to have stalled permanently in the nineteen-eighties. Cell service is spotty, so inhabitants often communicate using landlines and walkie-talkies. Many islanders look as if they\u2019ve been pulled off the set of \u201cJaws\u201d (salty beards, chum-stained dungarees) or \u201cSleepaway Camp\u201d (colorful bike shorts, knee-high moccasins). They decorate their homes in the dated style of those who have access to new furniture only via barge: chintz and wicker abound. And the anachronism is only one of the island\u2019s unique properties. Widow\u2019s Bay, alas, is saddled with an ancient curse, or so many of its denizens believe, and it may or may not be trying to kill its inhabitants as a result. A foundational part of the island\u2019s dark mythology is a belief that anyone born there cannot safely leave it; awful fates befall any natives who dare to venture out. It\u2019s a great setup for a thriller. It also happens to be a great setup for a comedy about quirky local bureaucrats whose jobs are literally hellish.<\/p>\n<p>Their leader is Tom Loftis, the island\u2019s ambitious mayor, played by the great Welsh actor Matthew Rhys. He has a job that nobody wants (he ran for office uncontested), but he takes it extremely seriously. Tom was born off the island, so he is naturally skeptical of the local lore, but deep down he has suspicions about the place. His wife, we learn, was a native who tried to leave the island while pregnant, then suffered a massive stroke during childbirth, supposedly leading to her untimely death. The tragedy left Tom as a single father, and he fears that his teen-age son, Evan, who was born in Widow\u2019s Bay, is among those who can never leave. Still, as the town representative, Tom must swat such rumors away to keep up citizen morale, and also because he dreams that under his tenure the run-down Widow\u2019s Bay will become a bustling tourist destination.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=584\">\u201cToy Story 5\u201d Won\u2019t Leave Kids to Their Own Devices<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>His blustering confidence that he can turn the place around puts him in exquisitely comical tension with some of the more intense locals, particularly a grizzled mariner named Wyck (Stephen Root, at his burly best), who, when the series opens, is convinced that the arrival of a thick fog on the water signals that the island has \u201cawakened\u201d to unleash havoc on the populace. Wyck bellows to anyone who will listen about the coming scourge: \u201cStage 1, the eyes turn white,\u201d he warns. \u201cStage 2, loss of the five senses and delirium. Stage 3, loss of erection.\u201d (In a line typical of the show\u2019s wry humor, another character interrupts Wyck\u2019s rant to ask, \u201cWho the hell is trying after Stage 2?\u201d) His premonitions are a nuisance to Tom, who spends most of the pilot convincing a <em>Times<\/em> travel reporter that Widow\u2019s Bay is \u201cthe next Bar Harbor.\u201d As he tours the writer through the town\u2019s historical museum, which features such frightening objects as a leather gimp mask and barbed wire, Loftis rhapsodizes about the raw beauty of the land. \u201cImagine arriving in an untamed wilderness,\u201d he gushes. \u201cBlank canvas, totally empty island!\u201d To which the island\u2019s historian offers the disturbing addendum, \u201cExcept for the teeth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Times<\/em> publishes a rave, and travellers come pouring in. But Tom\u2019s publicity coup comes at a cost. Wyck, of course, is right about the island being awakened, and Tom has unwittingly invited in dozens of potential victims. He spends the first half of the series in stages of denial (Rhys is excellent at transmitting smug stubbornness), but, as anyone who watches horror movies knows, those who deny the danger are usually the first to confront it. In the second episode, Tom spends a night in the local inn, and ends up in a crawl space with the ghost of a psychotic killer clown. In the next, he is pursued by a demon crone known in local legend as the Sea Hag. He finally realizes that, if only for his son\u2019s sake, he must pivot his attention to stemming the tide of terror. If that involves digging up the body of the island\u2019s founder, who was rumored to have made a pact with Satan, and then dragging the body out to sea, then so be it.<\/p>\n<p>The devilish appeal, here, is absolutely in the details. Dippold has populated the show with lovable eccentrics played by great character actors\u2014Dale Dickey, Jeff Hiller, Tim Baltz. The most inspired casting is that of the wonderful British actress Kate O\u2019Flynn, a recent favorite of Mike Leigh, as Patricia Mower, a mousy assistant in the mayor\u2019s office (and a dead ringer for Shelley Duvall in \u201cThe Shining\u201d). Patricia harbors memories of a childhood encounter with the \u201cbogeyman,\u201d but few people in town seem to believe her; a group of women she went to high school with shun her as a liar who\u2019s just out for attention. But Patricia is determined to transcend her loserish fate. In an episode titled \u201cBeach Reads,\u201d she comes across a tattered book on entertaining written by the fictional author Lucy Fours (get it?) and applies its techniques to host a \u201csunset cocktails\u201d party, which proves an epic success. Patricia wears a tiara and circulates dreamily, like a grownup Carrie at prom. It is not until the local sheriff (Kevin Carroll, a solid straight man) snaps her back into reality that she realizes the book\u2014and, thus, her f\u00eate\u2014was a work of gruesome witchcraft (a true jump scare: looking in the mirror, she sees that her festive headpiece is, in fact, a pair of bloody antlers). In the show\u2019s best episode, Patricia finally confronts the \u201cbogeyman,\u201d who chases her at a hilariously languid clip. She plays out the episode as a classic horror \u201cfinal girl,\u201d sprinting away with arms flailing. But Patricia is smarter than most slasher heroines: when she and the sheriff finally subdue the bogeyman, she follows the body into the ambulance and all the way to the crematorium, while holding a rifle to its head.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>There are many meta nods to horror classics peppered throughout \u201cWidow\u2019s Bay.\u201d A drawing of a shark on a board is reminiscent of a doodle in \u201cJaws.\u201d A metronome in city hall is a callback to \u201cMisery.\u201d In the season finale, a grainy movie reel explaining the island\u2019s history of human sacrifice seems to nod to the Dharma Initiative films on \u201cLost.\u201d But the show is at its best when it leans into its own idiosyncratic world. Dippold is the rare current showrunner who has the patience to simply sit inside a scene and let it play out\u2014holding long shots, watching conversations meander. The finale is a cliffhanger, but much of it is taken up by a quiet scene in which Tom visits the home of his elderly secretary, Ruth. He believes her to be the town founder\u2019s last living descendant, and he therefore plans to kill her. But his mission is thwarted, first by Ruth\u2019s suggestion of an herbal tea that takes a preposterous twenty-seven minutes to brew, then by the wistful stories she tells as she pores over an old photo album. He learns, eventually, that Ruth\u2019s life, like those of so many born on the island, has been touched by countless sorrows. She shows Tom a cross-stitch sampler, embroidered with a comically long quote about accepting catastrophe. You can either fight the fear, she advises, or walk in tandem with it. Perhaps this offers a hint as to what Dippold is really up to with \u201cWidow\u2019s Bay,\u201d which has been renewed for a second season. You can run away from trouble\u2014be it a haunted island or a humiliating Halloween costume\u2014or you can learn how to live with it. At the very least, you can mine it for a laugh.\u00a0\u2666<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cityrelocationnews.com\/?p=582\">The Dance Legend Lucinda Childs\u2019s \u201cMomentary Reprise\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rachel Syme reviews \u201cWidow\u2019s Bay,\u201d a horror-comedy series on Apple TV written by Katie Dippold and starring Matthew Rhys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":587,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-on-television"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
