“I grew up in a loving home. My parents have a great relationship. I had safety all around me, and I needed an outlet to explore fear.”

In conversation with Haley Z. Boston, the creator and showrunner of Netflix’s new horror series “Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen,” which is now streaming, it’s clear her stable upbringing has served her well. Boston has had a meteoric rise in the industry, and the series — which stars Camila Morrone as a bride who meets her in-laws during her wedding week and things get dark very quickly — is sure to elevate her profile. It’s scary, sexy and funny in equal measure, with mysteries that don’t drag out too long and unpredictable twists that seem primed to hook horror fans.
