The Cat in the Hat is the next family-friendly pop culture icon to become a horror movie maniac, with fan short 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…
