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. Alongside Hulu, 20th Digital Studio is back with the third installment of Bite Size Halloween.
Twenty new spooky shorts from emerging filmmakers premiered October 1 on Hulu, blending horror with other genres such as comedy, thriller, and science-fiction. Shot in seven different countries, the upcoming season takes on a range of topical issues from racism and gender to parenthood, sexuality, and identity.
Michael Schwartz is responsible for one of my favorites this season, Snatched. It features the She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, herself, Tatiana Maslany, in her first on-screen role with her husband, Brendan Hines, who plays Josh Bennet in Netflix’s Locke & Key. The off-screen couple star alongside the Freaky breakout star Misha Osherovich, who plays their child.
To put it lightly, Snatched is damn near perfect. Not only is the central theme of identity handled eloquently, but the black boy in the hoodie is the hero! For someone that doesn't come from horror, it's incredible how much polish Schwartz packs into ten minutes. Get Snatched on Hulu today!
