Hokum (2026): “Down the Rabbit Hole”

If scary bunnies and folk horror are your thing, you're probably already familiar with Damian McCarthy's work — but in case you aren't, his newest project, Hokum (2026), is about to put him on your radar. Starring Emmy-nominated TV actor Adam Scott, this horror movie about an author contemplating bleak endings at a remote Irish inn is about to introduce its indie darling director to a whole new American audience. But after Oddity nabbed five knives across the board when we covered it last August, can his follow-up film survive the hype? Join us on our latest episode as we dig into this flick's symbolism and realize Mommy Issues May is still alive and well here at Spooky Tuesday.
