'Into the Dark: Pooka' actor Nyasha Hatendi hates holiday films, explains this episode is an exception

"Once that mask goes on, it's easier to be mischievous, it's easier to be less palatable, you can just get away with more," Hatendi said of the episode's premise

Hulu managed to garner rave reviews over the span of just a couple of months with the launch of its new anthology horror series, 'Into the Dark.' The uniqueness of the show is that every month it releases just one new episode, and each of these episodes revolve around a festival that represents that month. This sets it apart from other anthology horrors like 'Black Mirror' or 'American Horror Story'.

And now, anticipation is heating up for the show's third installment arriving in nearly a day's time - the inevitable Christmas nightmare 'Pooka.' The title derives from the main source of horror in the psychological thriller, which will also have a pinch of dark humor in the form of social satire, as both the preceding episodes of the show has portrayed.
