Strange Darling (2024): "Squatch Watch"

Update: 2025-08-05

Description

Spookies, Au-Guessed That You Might Want Us to Continue the New Release Theme Into August, which is why we're keeping our coverage recent with Strange Darling (2024). Though it first debuted on the festival scene in 2023, JT Mollner's out-of-order story hit theaters just last year, and it left audiences buzzing. Not only did Willa Fitzgerald and scream king Kyle Gallner deliver powerful performances as The Lady and The Demon, the nature of the narrative also lent itself to some major discourse. On top of that, it features cameos from Barbara Hershey, Ed Begley Jr., and the most intense breakfast we've ever laid eyes on, so needless to say we've got a lot to sink our teeth into on a new Spooky Tuesday. Bon appétit!
