After starting out like any other Yule Log video with cheery music playing over a warmly lit fireplace for the first couple of minutes, the Adult Swim Yule Log special slowly devolves into the story of a young couple that fall prey to a series of disturbing and increasingly strange circumstances<\/a> while spending the holidays in a remote cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special actually marks the feature-length debut of Casper Kelly, who has shown his mastery of subversively creepy comedy with the likes of a Blair Witch Project parody starring Mystery Inc., called The Scooby-Doo Project<\/a> and, most famously, the hilarious and horrifying 2014 short film, Too Many Cooks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filmmaker has also written for cartoons like CatDog<\/em>, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Squidbillies, <\/em>as well as co-created the live-action Adult Swim series Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell<\/em>. One of his first contributions to more earnest horror was in the 2018 movie Mandy<\/em> where he crafted the bizarre in-universe commercial for a branch of mac-and-cheese called \u201cCheddar Goblin<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
