Yule Log Turns Into Another Horror Movie At Adult Swim

Two years ago, Adult Swim surprised viewers when its traditional holiday fireplace video turned into a horror film.

Adult Swim Yule Log was created by writer/director Casper Kelly, the man behind viral horror short Too Many Cooks, and aired in 2022.

Tonight, the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned cable network aired Adult Swim Yule Log 2: Branching Out.

The original film stars Andrea Laing as Zoe and Justin Miles as Alex. The sequel sees Laing returns as Zoe tries to escape the horrors of the first film by fleeing to a new country, but the murder log has travel plans of its own.

Both films are now streaming on Max.

“This holiday, we’re giving the gift that no one thought to ask for, again,” said Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim. “And we lost the receipt, so you can’t trade it in. You’re welcome and happy holidays from Adult Swim to you.”

“I am thrilled to bring this second genre-defying installment in the Adult Swim Cinematic Yuliverse to fans,” added Kelly. “With luck, and your viewership, I will get to fulfill my vision of 31 interconnected Yule Log films, including Adult Swim Yule Log: Next of Kindling and Adult Swim Yule Log: Revenge of the Three French Hen Ninjas, putting Adult Swim squarely in the forefront of the movie franchise space where it belongs.”
