"Unraveling the Chilling Mysteries of True Detective: Night Country"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Entertainment Weekly News

True Detective: Night Country showrunner Issa López drew inspiration from rat kings, frozen shrimp, and mummies to create the horrifying "corpsicle" in the series, which she describes as the MacGuffin of the season. The entangled bodies of the missing Tsalal researchers were influenced by grotesque mental images, Dante's Inferno illustrations, and Mexican mummified bodies. López worked closely with the production team and prosthetic makers to bring the corpsicle to life, even adding lines about it in postproduction, and the entity is now a central element of the show.

Unraveling the Mysteries of 'True Detective: Night Country'

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Ringer

In the series "True Detective: Night Country," a group of perished scientists found frozen together in the Alaskan barrens, dubbed "corpsicle," becomes a central mystery investigated by the Ennis Police Department. The creation of the corpsicle involved intricate prosthetic work by Dave and Lou Elsey, with actors posing for intimate body scans and molds. The series' attention to detail extended to researching the effects of frostbite, and the corpsicle's chilling discovery was filmed in Iceland. The production team's dedication to realism and the darkly humorous nature of the project added an extra layer of complexity to the creation of this grisly centerpiece.
