Zachary Quinto feeds off the souls of children in first trailer for NOS4A2

A soul-sucking vampire preys on young children in AMC's new supernatural horror series, NOS4A2.

Zachary Quinto plays a soul-sucking vampire who preys on children and traps them in an alternate dimension where it's always Christmas in the new AMC series NOS4A2 (pronounced "Nosferatu," after the classic 1922 vampire film). The series is an adaption of the 2013 award-winning horror novel of the same name by Joe Hill, and the first trailer just debuted earlier today at WonderCon in Anaheim.

(Some spoilers for the book below.)

Hill comes by his horror chops naturally; his dad is an obscure novelist named Stephen King. NOS4A2 is Hill's third novel, about a woman named Vic McQueen with a gift for finding lost things, who discovers that children have been disappearing. The culprit is a supernatural child abductor named Charles Manx, who hunts for his victims in a 1938 Rolls-Royce dubbed the "Wraith." He feeds off their souls in order to remain immortal, trapping whatever is left of them in a prison dimension in his imagination called Christmasland. The novel moves back and forth between multiple time periods: Vic as a young girl in 1986, Vic as a rebellious teenager in 1996, and an older Vic with a son in 2008 and 2012. Naturally Manx targets her son, and Vic must defeat him once and for all to save the boy.
