Before 'Late Night With the Devil,' Watch This Halloween Special Gone Wrong

2024 is shaping up to be the year of television horror; not just spooky series but horror films about the weird and wild world of TV Land. The two big horror releases in question are A24's I Saw The TV Glow, by We're All Going To The World's Fair director Jane Schoenbrun, which promises to be just as mind-bending but even more star-studded, and Shudder's Late Night With The Devil, directed by Colin and Cameron Cairnes. The latter comes out March 22nd, with David Dastmalchian as the host of a failing '70s late-night talk show. It promises a truly twisted lost Halloween special as demonic forces are summoned into the studio to keep the audience, and sponsors, happy. All this talk of horror, television, the subtle terror of obscure nostalgia, and the lengths people are willing to go to for an audience brings to mind a film that is, unfortunately, a little difficult to find as of writing this article: 2013's WNUF Halloween Special.
