For horror creators on YouTube, a lot has changed between last October and the present. Creators have become hot commodities in Hollywood, and that trend has been focused almost exclusively on the horror genre. Kane Parsons' Backrooms and Curry Barker's Obsession were two of the biggest sleeper hits of Hollywood's summer season, and Markiplier brought his project Iron Lung to theaters as well. If the momentum those creators generated is going to be sustained into 2027, then spooky season is a crucial time of year. Horror movies can be big draws during the fall, but at least one of the horror maestros who broke out this year is returning to his roots. Barker dusted off his YouTube channel to premiere Mama Bear, a chilling short film that arrives two days before Hallowwen. Visit Tubefilter for more great stories.
