The folks over at the official Sid Haig website announced earlier this month that the highly anticipated animated web TV series "Chadam" is now available for viewing!  

Warner Brothers and HD Films along with writer Alex Pardee ("Bunnywith"), bring to life 'Chadam' who lives as the chosen one in the metropolitan island of Vulture City. His imagination is powerful enough to physically alter his world and possibly deliver it from evil.

The series will find Chadam in a place of refuge where he and others have retreated to plan their attack against a serial killer known as Viceroy.  

Chadam was created using 'Unreal Engine 3', which is the same technology that was utilized in developing the ground-breaking video games Gears of War and BioShock.

Sid Haig lends his voice to the character 'Simkin', a mutated figure made so by the evil Viceroy's attempt to remove his imagination gland.  Simkin was, however, able to escape and meet Chadam, who would may just be the one person who could defeat Viceroy and rid the planet of him for good.  Simkin becomes Chadam's mentor, in that he shows Chadam he has the strength to defeat Viceroy.  

Haig notes, "Voicing Simkin was an exercise in trying to establish the power of a character with my voice only, as opposed to using facial expressions and body language as I do in live-action.  Even though I didn't get to work with any of the other actors in person, I had a great time with Alex and the HD Films staff.  It was a thoroughly wonderful experience and I would do it all again in a second."  

Starring John Lanz in the title role, with support from Sid, Jeffrey Combs as Viceroy, Katey Segal, Carl Weathers and more, Chadam is sure to expand your mind and widen your senses.  Enjoy some shots below of the colourful characters in this world, along with the trailer for the show.  

Chadam runs in ten episodes, which are up now on the Warner Brothers website.  Follow this link to watch http://www.thewb.com/shows/chadam.  As of now, the show is only viewable by those in the United States and no DVD plans are in place, but if you love what you see (or just want to see it!) please let Warner Brothers know by contacting them on their site and telling them you want your Chadam!  This labour of love has been a long time coming and we hope you enjoy the results.
