Happy Huluween! Hulu's 2018 "Huluween" has begun with Hulu original content as well as your favorite Halloween movies and TV shows. Also in today's Horror Highlights: release details and a trailer for You Might Be the Killer, the legendary David Cronenberg on the cover of Delirium Magazine, and The Unnameable's debut and trailer.

Hulu's First Ever Huluween Details: Press Release: "Get ready for a month’s worth of scary programming as Hulu kicks-off its biggest “Huluween” celebration yet. Beginning today, viewers can head to Hulu’s personalized, Halloween-themed hub for a bone-chilling selection of popular Halloween TV episodes and movies. The curated experience will also bring viewers exclusive, new content throughout the month, including eight spooky short films from up-and-coming filmmakers, and the much-anticipated premiere of two Hulu Originals – Into the Dark and Light as a Feather.

“Inside the walls of Hulu, Huluween has been a tradition for many years, and since more than half of our subscribers consider Halloween their favorite holiday, we thought it was only right to create this ultimate viewing destination,” said Hulu Chief Marketing Officer Kelly Campbell. “This year, October will never be the same as we’re going all out with a month-long celebration where viewers can enjoy their favorite Halloween themed shows and movies, and our brand partners can connect with them in a one-of-a-kind experience.”

The new space also offers advertisers unique ways to engage with consumers through custom integrated advertising opportunities tied to Huluween. From a custom tarot card read ad product, sponsored by Jägermeister, to an authentically integrated series of spots featuring Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween main character, Slappy, Hulu is the only major streaming platform that can partner with multiple top brands in ways that are more personalized and immersive than anything on linear television.

Hulu Launches Spooktacular Content Hub and First-Ever Huluween Film Fest

Whether a fan of nightmare-inducing horror movies or more light-hearted Halloween episodes of TV favorites, Hulu has created an immersive destination that has something for everyone. Beginning today, viewers can customize their experience by adding their favorite scary movies and TV shows to ‘My Stuff’ and the Huluween hub will serve up personalized recommendations all month long. As the home to nearly twice as many episodes of popular TV shows than any other streaming service, viewers can also watch fan favorites curated into four hand-picked Halloween collections – “Thriller/Psychological,” “Pop Horror,” “Spooky Not Scary,” and “Scary As Hell” – including American Psycho, The Blair Witch Project, Once Bitten, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Hills Have Eyes and more.

This year also marks the first-ever Huluween Film Fest, which will give eight up-and-coming filmmakers the opportunity to showcase their horror-themed short films on Hulu throughout the month.

Produced in partnership with Fox Network Group’s content studio All City, the short films – “The Gillymuck,” “The Box,” “Horrifying Sounds,” “The Hug,” “Carved,” “Urn,” “Lippy” and “The Rizzle” – will premiere today within the Huluween experience and on Hulu’s social channels. Throughout the month of October, the filmmaker with the highest levels of viewer engagement and the highest scores from a panel of expert judges, including Bloody Disgusting co-founder and editor Brad Miska, will win $10,000 towards the production of their feature-length film.

Hulu Expands Original Programming Slate with Huluween Premieres From Blumhouse Television and AwesomenessTV

This Friday, Hulu and Blumhouse Television will premiere the first installment of the new Hulu Original Series, Into The Dark – the first-ever year-round event series that will bring fans 12 standalone feature-length episodes on the first Friday of every month throughout the year.

Based on a short film of the same name, The Body, directed and written by Paul Davis, co-written by Paul Fischer and starring Tom Bateman (Murder on the Orient Express, Vanity Fair) and Rebecca Rittenhouse (The Mindy Project, Blood & Oil), follows a sophisticated hitman with a cynical view on modern society that finds his work made more difficult when he has to transport a body on Halloween night, but everyone is enamored by what they think is his killer costume.

The second installment, Flesh and Blood, directed by Patrick Lussier (My Bloody Valentine, Dracula 2000), premieres during Halloween week on November 2nd and will star Dermot Mulroney (August: Osage County, Shameless, The Wedding Date) and also starring newcomer Diana Silvers in a thrilling story set on the eve of Thanksgiving.

Later this month, Hulu will release another Hulu Original Series, Light as a Feather, produced by AwesomenessTV, Wattpad, and Grammnet. The entire 10-episode series will be available to stream on Hulu beginning October 12. Light as a Feather begins with an innocent game of “Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board” that goes wrong when the five teen girls who play start dying off in the exact way that was predicted, forcing the survivors to figure out why they’re being targeted – and whether the evil force hunting them down is one of their own.

You Might Be the Killer: Press Release: " In the summer of 2017, best-selling writers Chuck Wendig (Star Wars novels, Marvel’s Hyperion, Terribleminds blog) and Sam Sykes (Aeons’ Gate Trilogy) began a live improvised storytelling Twitter exchange that created, in front of all of Twitter, a new twist on the summer camp slasher movie. Their story generated more than a million impressions, triggering national press buzz and a social media frenzy among fans (“This is horror movie gold!”) who demanded it be made into a film.

Now the first movie ever produced from a Twitter thread, You Might Be the Killer, will premiere on Syfy Channel on Saturday, October 1, 2018, at 7:00 p.m. ET.

You Might Be the Killer is fresh off its wildly successful world premiere at the renowned Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, where it was so popular, that additional screens were added during the festival. The film, which has been in limited theatrical release, will be making its international debut later this month at the prestigious Toronto After Dark film festival. And to date, You Might Be the Killer has also been selected by an incredible eight other film festivals in the U.S. and worldwide, with more to come.

Directed by Brett Simmons (Husk, Monkey’s Paw, and Animal) and starring Alyson Hannigan (Buffy, How I Met Your Mother), Fran Kranz (Cabin in the Woods), Keith David (The Thing), Brittany S. Hall (Ballers), and Patrick Reginald Walker (The Resident), You Might Be the Killer is the story of Sam (Kranz), a regular guy who finds himself on the run from a masked serial killer who has been brutally murdering his fellow camp counselors.

Desperate, Sam reaches out to his friend Chuck (Hannigan), who is an expert in all things horror. She becomes Sam's lifeline as he tries to evade death by avoiding common horror tropes and save his friends. But when Chuck challenges everything that Sam tells her, Sam must piece together what is really going on at the camp, as he races to uncover the haunting truth of the masked maniac’s identity and the mask’s supernatural powers… all before it’s too late!

Says Simmons: “This movie has such a unique and fun take on a genre that I love. It twists and shakes up the campground slasher film we're all familiar with in new and unexpected ways. Telling a familiar story in an unfamiliar out-of-order fashion through flashbacks allows the audience to have the fun of piecing things together themselves – something they haven’t experienced before in a slasher movie! And You Might Be the Killer goes even further by asking the audience to identify with a character who might actually be the killer!”

You Might Be the Killer is written by Thomas P. Vitale, Brett Simmons, and Covis Berzoyne, and produced by Griff Furst, p.g.a., and Thomas P. Vitale, p.g.a."
