The Void is a fantasy/sci-fi anthology series developed by Carey Broadbent, with Amin Caluk serving as executive producer. What's unique about this new show is the fact that it's written by the fans.

But in the meantime, VSGuide has pulled together every episode pitched and accepted by producers. Read them after the jump!

"Lights Out" has been announced as the very first episode of "The Void" to be released. The episode itself is written by series creator, Carey Broadbent, and was initially the premise for a movie project Broadbent was developing.
Now set up as the first script of this new anthology readers will see, we can expect it to set the tone for the series as a whole. Anthology series have the opportunity to tell fresh, unique stories with each passing episode, but they should all have recurring themes or tones. Being labeled as Science Fiction, Fantasy, as well as horror, gives written an almost endless amount of creative directions to take each episode, and we're hoping "Lights Out" does a good job in creating that atmosphere.
