How ‘Milk & Serial,’ a Clever Slasher Made for $800 and Released for Free on YouTube, Became a Must-Watch for Horror Fans
"Milk & Serial" director and star Curry Barker explains how he made the film and why he released it for free on YouTube.
The filmmaker and comedian is the mastermind behind “Milk & Serial,” a 62-minute horror feature about YouTube pranksters who get caught up in some rapidly escalating crises that ideally aren’t spoiled in advance. The duo mainly posts sketch videos to their TikTok and YouTube channels “that’s a bad idea,” while occasionally showcasing other projects, like Barker’s viral 2023 horror short “The Chair,” which has been watched on the latter more than 5.5 million times. Barker is happy to keep the production online, and although the film’s bloodbath ending briefly teases a sequel by having the camera get picked up by an unseen character, he thinks that mystery is best left up to the imagination instead of explaining it in another chapter.
