BITE SIZE TERROR Anthology to Premiere on Tubi This Fall
Executive producer Peter Rice and GJMD Studio's David Worthen Brooks lead the anthology's roster of emerging horror filmmakers.
Tubi has announced a new Original short-form horror anthology series, BITE SIZE TERROR, as part of Tubi's Terror on Tubi Hub. The ten-episode anthology series will introduce a new generation of filmmakers and is scheduled to premiere exclusively on Tubi this Fall in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
BITE SIZE TERROR is an anthology of short-form horror stories that explores every corner of the genre, from the supernatural and occult to body horror, dark comedy, monsters, and the macabre. From executive producer Peter Rice and GJMD Studio, the series brings a fresh take on the short-form horror format to Tubi previously explored in Hulu's 'Bite Size Halloween.' Across the season, grief, ambition, intimacy, and vulnerability become entry points for something darker, as characters searching for connection, control, or a way forward find themselves confronting forces they do not understand. With a new story and a new nightmare in every episode, BITE SIZE TERROR delivers a sharp, unpredictable collection of horror built to unsettle, surprise, and linger long after each story ends.
'Our horror shorts have become an extraordinary engine for discovering new writer-directors, 90 shorts, nine first features, and counting', said Executive Producer Peter Rice. 'We're thrilled to partner with Tubi to introduce the next generation of horror filmmakers, with BITE SIZE TERROR on Tubi'.
'With a different nightmare in every episode, BITE SIZE TERROR is a thrilling showcase for the next generation of horror filmmakers,' said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi. 'It brings bold, unpredictable stories to the Terror on Tubi Hub, adding to an already compelling destination for fans with more than 53 million hours of horror to explore. We're proud to partner with Peter, David, and GJMD to bring these distinctive new voices directly to our growing audience.'
