The Cat in the Hat is the next family-friendly pop culture icon to get twisted into a low budget indie horror movie, with The Cat and the Hatchet set to premiere Halloween Day, October 31.
A horror short from director Cameron Dodd, The Cat and the Hatchet is a twisted horror parody of The Cat in the Hat. The film follows two siblings, Ellie and Connor, whose boring day takes a terrifying turn when Scratches the Cat shows up at their house.
What begins as a strange and unexpected visit quickly becomes a nightmare as Scratches reveals a twisted sense of humor that is far more sinister than anything they could have imagined.
Mark Ricci stars as Scratches the Cat, with William Brandt Baker as Connor, and Lilah Hewson as Ellie. Watch the official teaser for The Cat in the Hat horror short below, and you’ll also find three brand new character posters underneath that preview the bloody carnage.
The Cat and the Hatchet is produced by Kaleb Carmichael and Mark Ricci and directed by Cameron Dodd, with production from Six Side Studios and Prime Capitol. Prime Capitol recently released the horror short Simon Says which is currently available on Tubi.
The short is a non-profit parody unauthorized or affiliated with the official IP.
