Hulu's 'Mr. Crocket' Introduces a New Horror Icon

The film blends 90s nostalgia with a chilling narrative centered on a sinister TV host.

Mr. Crocket, originally a short film from Hulu's 'Bite Size Halloween,' has been expanded into a feature-length movie.
Set in 1993, the film follows a malevolent children's TV host who kidnaps kids and murders parents, evoking classic horror vibes.
Director Brandon Espy drew inspiration from his son's obsession with Blippi, merging it with elements from 'Nightmare on Elm Street.'
The film is notable for its predominantly Black cast and crew, bringing fresh perspectives to the horror genre.
Elvis Nolasco stars as Mr. Crocket, a character that combines the charm of Mr. Rogers with the menace of Freddy Krueger.
