Although it beam the name of the hit 1982 film which spawned two the one-hosequels supernatural drama stakes out new ground in the world of the - burial ground - bizarre. Produced by Trilogy Entertainment ("The Outer Limits") and PMP Productions for MGM Television and Showtime, it follows the exploits of a centuries-ol- d secret society, the Legacy, that uses high-tec- h equipment and ESP to keep the forces of fvil at bay. So far. it seems to be working, "No." says series star Helen Shaver, "we haven't been haunted by any little poltergeists getting in the camera or anything like that." The debut episode, shot in Canada and Ireland, airs April 21 at 8 p.m. (Eastern), with subsequent episodes (shot in the Vancouver area) following on Fridays at 10 p.m. (Eastern), starling with "Sins of the Father" on April 26.

While in the little town of Conncmera. Rachel unwittingly runs afoul of a supernatural force impnsonod centuries ago by Druids. It's eager to make a comeback, and enthralls Rachel w ith visions of her dead husband. By the lime she has figured out what happened, she is already pregnant by the demon. According to Shaver, the seduction scene is an ultimate female fantasy, surpassed only by the horror of the subsequent accelerated pregnancy and birth. "Nobody who's about to have a baby should see this," says Shaver. "It's wild. It's not gruesome in terms of blood and gore. Imagine if you will that you have something inside you in the form of a baby, that wants to get out. You arc by yourself, and you have to get it out of you. And when it is out of you. it is still attached to you by its cord. Then how does the cord get unattached? So use your imagination and go from there." Helping Rachel survive her demonic encounter are the members of the San Francisco chapter, or "house," of the Legacy: leader, scholar and psychic Derek Rayne.

Richard Lewis is executive producer of the series. He created the legacy, which is composed of scientists, psychics and intellectuals who join by invitation only. Says Lewis: "I posited that there was a group called the Legacy that secretly bonded together to try to further understand things that couldn't be explained. Then as time went on. they amassed a tremendous amount of wealth - like the Freemasons, like most secret societies and they're basifor the good. They're really trying to cally understand the human condition. "Their houses exist all over the world, and most of them are good, but I'm positing that some of them have turned evil, because the daii side is very seductive. So the Legacy is always under siege and attack. You have the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, tapping into the Ebola virus and everything. What if you used a bit of that technology in the understanding of the supernatural?" Says Shaver, who will direst a episode: "The struggle between good and evil is the essence of everything. When you take the archetypes and act them out on a dramatic level, whatever face you put on evil or on good, it's the essence of goni story telling and drama." -- firt-seaso- "Poltergeist: The Legacy" ha a tvo-yca- r ttfdcr. and like "The Outer Limits." will eventually go to broadcast television. "Because we're on Showtime lirxt." says Lewis, "we can really push the envelope. It will be very interesting to see how the two-hou- r Poltergeist' movie will have to be changed to be put in syndication or on Fox." For inspiration. I ewis is drawing authirs who have contributed stories fantasy or horror genre, including Allen Poe. Charles Dickens. Robert upon to the Fdgar Louis Stevenson. Ambrose Bierce and Bram Stoker. He also puts forward that they along with Winston Churchill and Houdini were secretly members of the Legacy . "It's wonderful to pay an homage to some of the great writers in the wnrld. writers whom most of the audience wasn't aware wrote in the genre. If you tell a good morality tale. aii you do believe the characters, then you have a real chance to succeed. There's a reason pw pie are watching these shows, rcadm" this lit craturc.
