'Into the Dark: Pooka': Is the upcoming episode of Hulu's anthology horror a 'Donnie Darko' spin off?

While no major plot details have been revealed about 'Pooka', the presence of a demonic looking rabbit costume brings back memories of the Jake Gyllenhaal starring cult classic
PUBLISHED NOV 20, 2018

The first teaser for the next episode of Hulu's currently airing anthology horror series, 'Into the Dark' arrived last week in the form of a snippet amidst a commercial break. Viewers got a glimpse of a man in a creepy, oversized rabbit costume, with sinister stuff sparking off or revolving around the attire.

What we know is that according to the show's format, each monthly episode will center around a festival that signifies that particular month. Titled 'Pooka', the third episode from Jason Blum will be a Christmas horror.

Bordering on psychological levels of both horror and thriller, this episode shares quite a resemblance with 2001 fantasy cult-classic 'Donnie Darko'.
