Rooster Teeth Founders Unleash Christmas Horror
8 Oct
Summary
- Rooster Teeth founders are making a Christmas horror-comedy film.
- Movie is inspired by ancient, mischievous elf folklore.
- Film is slated for a theatrical release in late 2027.
A new Christmas horror-comedy film, "Bad Toys," is in development, helmed by Rooster Teeth founders Matt Hullum and Burnie Burns. Hullum is directing from his own script, which is inspired by ancient and often mischievous elf folklore, posing a question about what happens when holiday wishes go awry.
Pre-production for "Bad Toys" is scheduled to commence in early 2027. The film is currently slated for a theatrical debut around Christmastime in 2027. This project marks a reunion for Hullum and Burns, who were instrumental in building Rooster Teeth into a significant online entertainment entity.
Burns has returned to Rooster Teeth, which he revived in 2025 after its closure in 2024. This new venture allows Hullum to explore the darker aspects of holiday tales and collaborate again with his former Rooster Teeth colleagues and fans.
