One of the cooler under-the-radar horror events is Hulu’s “Into the Dark”, which produces a brand new feature film every single month for an entire year. Each episode is holiday-themed, with the first two tackling Halloween and Thanksgiving.
Just yesterday we told you that V/H/S family member Nacho Vigalondo, who helmed the incredible Colossal and Timecrimes, directed next month’s Christmas-themed “Into the Dark” episode, “Pooka”, which stars Nyasha Hatendi, Latarsha Rose, Jon Daly, Dale Dickey, Jonny Berryman, and Diane Sellers.
In the episode, a struggling actor gets a holiday season job as a Christmas character in a plush suit to promote the hottest toy of the year, “Pooka.” At first, it’s a fun and friendly distraction, but he slowly develops two personalities–one when he’s in the suit, and one that’s outside it–as Pooka slowly starts to take possession of him.
Check out these chilling images of the hottest new holiday toy: Pooka!
