On Sunday, Dec. 11, Adult Swim debuted a surprise feature-length horror movie called Adult Swim Yule Log. It is now available to stream on HBO Max.
From writer and director Casper Kelly — the madman behind viral short “Too Many Cooks” and Mandy’s Cheddar Goblin — comes Adult Swim Yule Log. It is, as presumed, anything but your standard recording of a flickering fire on loop. In “Too Many Cooks” fashion, the traditional holiday video becomes an absurd flavor of Christmas Horror on a shoestring budget. Think along the lines of ThanksKilling, specifically the out-of-bounds ThanksKilling 3, in terms of how Kelly turns a flaming log into a Christmas Horror antagonist. Adult Swim’s first fright flick is in the vein of schlocky ‘80s midnighters, where chaos trumps coherency. Maybe burn this hallucinogenic strain after you already have the munchies?
Kelly developed Adult Swim Yule Log entirely in secret, starting like any other YouTube loop of crackling fireplace ASMR and dancing flames. Kelly continually challenges our expectations by playing into convention then flipping the script, starting with background noises of a scuffle that drown out public-domain versions of Christmas tunes. The horrors of Adult Swim Yule Log toy with Airbnb home invasions (the setup mimics Barbarian), unfathomable creature features (like The Killing Tree), and out-of-this-world science fiction probes. There’s also time travel, portals to fireplace dimensions, gory deaths — it’s the guy behind “Too Many Cooks” answering the prompt, “How can we turn a Yule Log into a horror villain?” Turns out the answer is tied to America’s slave-trading past, as horror-comedy clouds break to tell a story about a cursed log cut from a hanging tree.

The problem is Kelly’s “Too Many Cooks” sitcom hellscape runs all of 11 minutes, which keeps gag transformations zippy due to time constraints. Adult Swim Yule Log embellishes subplot after subplot without the substance necessary, throwing diversion after redefinition against the wall — yet the rapid-fire containment of Adult Swim favorites like Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is sorely missed. What starts as a Texas Chain Saw riff becomes a ditzy teen slasher, fades and wipes start overlapping previous victims of the Yule Log from bygone eras, and their stories start conflicting with Zoe and Alex. Then the Thankskilling vibes embrace goofiness, yet the historical traumas of enslaved people permeate insanely cheapo digital and practical effects. All this to say, you’re damn sure watching an Adult Swim oddball — but one whose legs become wobblier and Jell-O-y as the marathon continues.
Kelly’s comedic fearlessness is both a superpower and downfall.
“
It’s a shame because Adult Swim Yule Log is genuinely madcap and worth deranged seasonal laughs in spurts. Kelly’s comedic fearlessness is both a superpower and downfall, leading to exquisite line deliveries that stink of pimento cheese breath or charmingly home-cobbled practical effects. Sometimes, Adult Swim Yule Log feels like a VHS recording of something an older sibling or cousin introduces into your life way too young — the Yule Log horror translation had me cackling fiercely upon introduction. You hate to see jokes drag until their initial shock-hilarity evaporates because Kelly’s approach is unique by Christmas Horror standards, but Adult Swim signatures sink like dead weight at feature length.
Adult Swim Yule Log bites off more than it can chew in a way only Adult Swim can. Casper Kelly psychotically spoofs the strangest of strange horror titles that turn anything into a murderous entity while unraveling deadly severe social commentaries. It’s abstract art, theater camp, found footage foolishness, hunt-and-stalk depravity — Adult Swim Yu...

Adult Swim Yule Log, AKA "The Fireplace", is a 2022 horror film written and directed by Casper Kelly ( Too Many Cooks) and distributed by [adult swim]. At first appearing to be a traditional yule log presentation, it eventually reveals itself to be a full-length horror story.
Dec 22, 2022 · Also known as The Fireplace, Adult Swim Yule Log could be destined to go down in history as one of best Christmas horror movies for its inventive approach to keeping the holidays spooky.
Yule log burning has been a wintertime staple since yore in the 17th century, Germanic pagan in origin for the sole purpose of bringing light into the darkness; bringing day into the night. The first televised Yule Log was in 1966 on New York City's WPIX (you know it) and…
