'Penny Dreadful' Trailer: Blood, Monsters, And Eva Green

Penny Dreadful is the new show from Showtime and Sam Mendes, a Victorian-age horror tale that is a bit like an alternate League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, basically a collection of several famous pulp characters that lie in the public domain. It features Dorian Gray, Frankenstein's monster, players from Dracula, and Eva Green. (The actress is not in the public domain, to be clear.)The first teaser was brief, but this full trailer has a lot more of Green, plus blood, bodies tangled, twisted and mangled, insects and spiders, and all manner of creepy weirdo images. There's a lot to take in, and it should be safe for work, though perhaps not for those in particularly sensitive jobs.Penny Dreadful premieres on Showtime on Sunday, May 11th at 10PM ET/PT.
