In 1993, a mysterious children’s show host, Mr. Crocket, magically emerges from television sets to kidnap young children, brutally slaying their parents in the process. After Mr. Crocket snatches her son, one determined mother embarks on a perilous quest to track down the demonic entertainer and rescue her boy.
It stars: Jerrika Hinton, Elvis Nolasco, Ayden Gavin, Kristolyn Lloyd and Alex Akpobome.
Directed by up-and-comer Brandon Espy, from his script written with Carl Reid, Mr. Crocket is based on the 2022 short of the same name, written and directed by Espy for Hulu’s Bite Size Halloween.
I wasn’t sent a screener regarding this one, so I can’t even give it proper snark. I’ll just say the trailer looks pleasantly eerie and demonic. And to quote the great philosopher of the mid-2010s Antoine Dodson – hide yo kids, Mr. Crocket snatchin’ up everybody.
Mr. Crocket, streams October 11th on Hulu.
