There's a New Holiday Horror Saga Called INTO THE DARK Coming From Hulu and Blumhouse Pictures
Hulu and Blumhouse Pictures have announced that they will be teaming up to produce a 12-part holiday horror series called Into the Dark. Each episode of the series will be set during a holiday and it will start with Halloween.
During the Hulu Upfront presentation (via io9), Blumhouse founder Jason Blum said that each episode in the series will be the length of a film and each other will be directed by a different filmmaker. As for the content of the episodes:
The series starts with "The Body," about a hitman who uses social media to make his latest conquest extra special, followed by November’s "Flesh & Blood," which focuses on a teenager with agoraphobia who thinks her dad is a killer. Blum also teased episodes around a pageant winner on New Year’s Day and an overprotective mom for Mother’s Day. He said no holiday is off limits. Not even Easter.
Blum then amusingly added, "We hope you’ll never look at a calendar the same way again."
Into the Dark will premiere this October and will air the first Friday of every month. Hulu’s chief content officer Joel Stillerman said "the series premiere will be joined by a month of Halloween horror content called "Huluween," in its second year running, along with a fan film festival where amateurs will be paired with horror creators to create new short films."
I love horror movies, and the ones that revolve around the holiday seasons tend to be the most fun like Halloween, Trick 'r Treat and Krampus. I'm excited about this series and it will be interesting to see how it turns out. Hopefully it's great!
