Dead Meat hosts James A. Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca, Osgood Perkins and The Monkey star Elijah Wood are bringing horror to Super Bowl Sunday with the first ever Horror Halftime Show.
The event will air live on Sunday, February 9th on the Dead Meat Presents YouTube channel during the Super Bowl Halftime.
Taking inspiration from John Madden, the late legendary football coach and sports commentator, Dead Meat’s Horror Halftime Show will be the ultimate twisted event for horror fans to celebrate the past year of exceptional horror filmmaking.
Just as Madden would analyze replays, Perkins, Wood, Janisse and Rebecca will review top horror films, kills, and scares complete with slow motion, frame by frame commentary. The inaugural show promises to deliver a bloody good time with the gnarliest horror scenes and plenty of comedy.
Hitting theaters on February 21, NEON's The Monkey is based on a Stephen King short of the same name included in his 1985 collection, Skeleton Crew. Starring Theo James (The White Lotus), Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), Elijah Wood (Maniac, The Lord Of The Rings, Bookworm), Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth), Colin O’Brien (Wonka), Rohan Campbell (Halloween Ends) and Sarah Levy (Schitt’s Creek), the film follows:
In The Monkey, when twin brothers Hal and Bill discover their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths starts occurring all around them. The brothers decide to throw the monkey away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years. But when the mysterious deaths begin again, the brothers must reunite to find a way to destroy the monkey for good before it takes the lives of everyone close to them.
Catch The Monkey in theaters on February 21, and make sure you tune in for the Horror Halftime Show over on Dead Meat's channel this Sunday.
