Interview: Writer Erlingur Thoroddsen and Director Carter Smith on Hulu’s ‘Into The Dark: Midnight Kiss’

December 27, 2019 by Joe Lipsett

Hulu’s Into The Dark has been delivering monthly feature-length, seasonal-themed horror films for over a year. For the first time, there is an explicitly queer entry with the Dec 27 installment, titled Midnight Kiss. Written by Erlingur Thoroddsen (Rift) and directed by Carter Smith (The Ruins), the film is about “a group of longtime gay best friends head to a beautiful desert home to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Relationships are put to the test and truths are revealed as the night turns into a fight for survival.”

After screening the film, which Trace Thurman and I discuss on the Horror Queers Patreon here, I messaged Erlingur and Carter with questions. Spoilers follow (so watch the episode before proceeding). [Read more…]
