My wife and I spent Christmas Eve at the movies, and while most people were piling in to see Avatar or The Whale, we purchased our tickets for the latest low-budget horror film to cause a stir, The Mean One. From what we had heard The Mean One was The Grinch with a slasher spin. With popcorn obtained, we couldn’t be more excited to take on what was to be one of the weirdest and wackiest parodies in recent times.

Growing up there were a few go-to movies at our house. One was Star Wars and the other was The Road Warrior. It ultimately depended on Dad as to who I’d fear that night, Darth Vader or a mohawked, leather-clad biker.

Adult Swim fans received an early holiday gift last night with the reveal of a new feature horror film from Casper Kelly, the acclaimed writer/director behind the viral Adult Swim short Too Many Cooks. Fans who stay tuned for the Adult Swim Yule Log after last night’s Season Six finale of Rick and Morty witnessed a traditional holiday fireplace video transform into Adult Swim’s first-ever live-action feature. After last night’s surprise airing on Adult Swim, a must-see uncensored version of Adult Swim Yule Log is now available to stream on HBO Max and to purchase digitally.

This one is a long time coming as I've been watching Josh for years. As an emerging talent from College Humor or a familiar face on Dorkly, he was hard not to adore. I’ve watched numerous interviews, and he's always come across as a decent enough guy, which made me that much more curious as to how he was able to get inside the mind of Bruce, his character in Travis Stevens' A Wounded Fawn.

I was lucky enough to catch Shinzô Katayama’s Missing while covering Fantastic Fest. It’s a layered story, jam-packed with so many twists and turns, M. Night Shyamalan would fall over. I’m not exaggerating either, my wife and I still discuss this one daily.

Terrifier 2 is something else, and while I am a fan of Art, I'm not really sure how to feel about this one. I want to love it because it was such a success for horror films and indie filmmaking in general. To me, the film felt like a glorified music video with Art as your guide through awkward exposition and countless montages.

Weeks before I started covering Fantastic Fest, I received an e-mail about a random documentary. Like most similar instances, I respond nonchalantly. Little did I know, I was setting up a viewing for arguably the best film of the festival.

It's that time of year again. There's a chill in the air, leaves are changing colors and jack-o-lanterns are back on your neighbor's porches. Hulu is getting hyped up to celebrate the scares of Halloween, or Huluween, season this year.
