Seasonal creations for streaming platforms are big business because they can be recycled and used for decades to come.
How long has Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer been making money? It turns out that seasonal movies and shows, which are often some of the cheapest to produce, also tend to have a phenomenal shelf life. So it’s not surprising that Netflix is working to get in on the game. Sadly, not every attempt is a success. Does everyone remember Seth Rogen’s attempt at a Santa Claus raunchy comedy that went belly up faster than a tank full of fish at a just-closed pet store?
This time, Netflix is turning to a Tim Burton style stop motion Halloween movie that they’re undoubtedly hoping can be their next Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s a gamble, sure, but it’s not much of one. They’ve teamed up Henry Selick of the stop motion classics with Jordan Peele, whose latest movie was a flop, but that might not matter here. People love Halloween… and anything that reminds them of Coraline or The Corpse Bride on Netflix is probably going to garner eyeballs.
So what do you think of the trailer? Let us know in the comments below. And, as always, keep reading That Park Place for all the latest news that should be fun.
