Into the Dark is a horror anthology series of movies, which premiered on Hulu in October 2018. Produced by Blumhouse, each episode is focused on a different holiday occurring that month, with one new episode per monthnote except for New Year's-themed episodes, which premiere in late December instead of early January. The series ran continuously from October 2018 through July 2020; the final two episodes of season 2 (August and September) were suspended as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic; the season eventually resumed and concluded in early 2021.Not to be confused with The CW's crime series In the Dark.

Genre Shift
 Into the Dark / int_177a6464
comment
Genre Shift: The original Pooka! is a very serious psychological drama-thriller with very little in the way of comic relief. Pooka Lives! abandons the original's tone completely in favor of being a campy horror comedy that's not afraid to crack jokes even during its more intense moments. The same could be said of the entire Into The Dark series, with most of season one being psychological drama thrillers that have a social justice message to the side, while most of the second season favors black comedy with fantastic elements.

Offing the Offspring: When Luna gets loose in the police station while in his wolf form and corners her. She holds a gun and aims it at him, but begs Luna not to make her use this. At first it seems like she'll have to or be ripped apart, but then Luna does recognize her even as a wolf and refrains, relieving Esme.

Abuse Mistake

Abuse Mistake: In Blood Moon the police naturally believe Esme is abusing Luna after they find him in their basement inside of a cage. Her insistence on him being dangerous and demand he be locked up in a cell after they get into the police station only make her look worse. She's actually doing it to protect them from Luna, whom she dearly loves but is a werewolf and the full moon's near.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: By the end of Pilgrim, Dad and the neighbors are dead and Cody will have to live with the guilt of her wish, but the Pilgrims have been defeated and the survivors have come together for the first time as a family. My Valentine, bordering on a Downer Ending. Valentine is finally free of Royal’s abuse and has the rights to her music after five years because Royal and Trezzure are dead, but the bartender and Nick were killed simply for still being at the bar, and Valentine watched Royal murder “her only ally� and best friend, Julie. Valentine assumes Trezzure’s identity and ends up publicly dropping it during a show while she performs a song about how she murdered Trezzure and took over her identity. A post-credits shot with the Trezzure fans barring the door heavily implies that the last part, however, is all in Val’s head. The ending of All That We Destroy. Ashley's clone escapes death and Spencer is dead, however the clone is likely going to be jailed not only for her original's crimes but also murder despite it being self defense, with Spencer's mom and her arguably crimes against nature/humanity getting off scot free.

Cessation of Existence: In All That We Destroy Victoria tells one of the Ashley clones that when someone dies, that's it-everything that they were disappears. Though she states her belief that life is precious and every death a tragedy because of this, it didn't stop her letting her son repeatedly murder the clones.

Break the Cutie: Valentine Fawkes. Not only was she in a horribly abusive relationship with her producer, he stalked her for five years while simultaneously driving her career into the ground and cultivating a reputation of her as a liar, thief, and psychotic ex-girlfriend. He then took his new girlfriend and made her into an exact replica of Valentine, stole her songs, and Trezzure gets famous on her work. And then he murders her best friend right in front of her on the night of her comeback after a five year hiatus—on Valentine’s Day, no less—and it gets horribly worse from there.

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Alexis in New Year, New You is absolutely correct that Danielle is a cruel and deceitful person, bordering on being an outright sociopath, who pretends to be kind and compassionate as a cover and has fooled everyone for her own benefit. However, Alexis reveals herself to be little better and to be motivated less by justice in exposing Danielle than resentment over Danielle's success and fame and later has no issue whatsoever following her plan to frame an innocent woman for everything and exploiting Danielle's memory and public image to take over her fame and success for herself.

Valentine's Day Violence
 Into the Dark / int_89422f95
comment
Valentine's Day Violence: Two out of the three Valentine's Day episodes have horrific acts of violence being perpetrated on the holiday. "Down" starts on February 13th, and has Jennifer get stalked by a guy she casually hooks up with after they get stuck in an elevator. However, it continues into the next day as it turns out he's a Stalker with a Crush who kills two people and abducts her, causing her to kill him in self-defence in the early hours of Valentine's Day. "My Valentine" shows the titular Valentine preparing for a comeback concert on Valentine's Day. After being confronted by her abusive ex, Royal, and his new girlfriend, Trezzure, she winds up as the Final Girl once her best friend and everyone else at the bar is murdered and Trezzure kills Royal.

Stalker with a Crush

"Down" starts on February 13th, and has Jennifer get stalked by a guy she casually hooks up with after they get stuck in an elevator. However, it continues into the next day as it turns out he's a Stalker with a Crush who kills two people and abducts her, causing her to kill him in self-defence in the early hours of Valentine's Day.

Asshole Victim: Trezzure in My Valentine. After spending the entire episode justifying Royal’s abusive behavior toward Valentine, and toward herself, she snaps and kills Royal once she realizes she was just Valentine’s replacement. She then gets electrocuted by standing in a pool of Julie’s blood when Val kicks a severed mic cord into it after threatening to sue and destroy Valentine and freely admitting she stole her songs and looks for fame. Pretty much all of the victims in Pooka Lives

The ending of All That We Destroy. Ashley's clone escapes death and Spencer is dead, however the clone is likely going to be jailed not only for her original's crimes but also murder despite it being self defense, with Spencer's mom and her arguably crimes against nature/humanity getting off scot free.

Working-Class Werewolves: In Blood Moon, Esme and Luna are in dire financial straits due to having to uproot (and assume new identities) any time Luna’s werewolf status or activities are exposed, with Esme’s prospects of a stable career shot. She had to quit practicing law as a result, and works at menial jobs like a server in a bar.

Incest Subtext
 Into the Dark / int_bdc453a0
comment
Incest Subtext: In Pure. The girls take disturbingly wedding-like photoshoots with their fathers, complete with white dress, (purity) ring, and couple-y poses, during which the main character Shay is visibly uncomfortable. Some of the dresses they have actually are wedding dresses; the preacher's daughter Lacey has a dress which came with a veil, which the cameras linger on ominously. And, of course, the point of the weekend is for the girls and their fathers to sign a contract in which the fathers promise to guard the girls' purity until they're married and it's time to hand it over to their husbands. Combined with how controlling many of the fathers are, the pastor's weird touchy-feely-ness and habitual one-on-one "chats" with the girls, the unseen but traumatizing "Box", the fact the girls' mothers and all other adults are explicitly barred, and the literal cage kept around for "disobedient" girls, it all winds up pointing somewhere very gross. Lucky thing Lilith shows up to ruin the party.

Struggling Single Mother: In Blood Moon after her husband's death and Esme quitting law, she's shown having a very hard time providing for herself along with Luna, her son. She has a low-paying job as a server in a bar that won't cut it. Toward the latter half of the story she's shown counting her money, then sighing as she realizes it's not enough. Due to Luna being a werewolf, they have to move frequently and assume new identities any time it's exposed, which means that her law career disappeared.

World of Jerkass: New Year, New You. Danielle is a monster who bullied a girl to suicide, and whose response to being forced to confess was to try to kill her accusers by locking them in a sauna and later murders and plans to frame a completely innocent person for everything. Chloe betrays her friends for a paltry shot at Danielle's fame. But, in the end, Alexis, who claimed to want to expose Danielle, ended up following Danielle's plan to frame the totally innocent Frankie, and became every bit as conniving and deceitful to take Danielle's fame.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story
 Into the Dark / int_e4b69188
comment
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Pilgrim was based on a frightening Thanksgiving the screenwriter spent as a child with a Pilgrim reenactor who never broke character. The screenwriter described how unnerving it was, to the point where he felt he wouldn't have been surprised if the reenactor was someone with sinister intentions. In real life the reenactor went home after the holiday weekend was up, the film takes it much further. My Valentine is based on the real life careers and abusive relationships that both Mars Argo and Poppy had with their former producer and ex-boyfriend, Titanic Sinclair.

Expy: Brent from School Spirit is one of Norman Bates, down to the mother's decaying corpse. The three main characters of My Valentine: Valentine Fawkes is one to Mars Argo, Trezzure is one for Poppy, and Royal is one far more dangerous and murderous of Titanic Sinclair. Chester from I'm Just F*cking With You is basically a southern, bespectacled Joker. Pooka has become one of Slender Man by the time of Pooka Lives, with a self-generating mythos and inappropriate fanart.

comment
Hate Sink: The three fathers in Pure are emotionally abusive parents with vaguely incestuous control issues concerning their daughters. Pastor Seth is an openly homophobic gun toting leader of an misogynistic ambiguously culty camp whose strict rules drives his otherwise loyal and obedient daughter Lacey to kill herself out of guilt for simply kissing a boy. Steve repeatedly fatshamed his daughter KellyAnn (who is quite skinny) and chastises her for being at risk of not fitting into a dress he picked out for her (and insists she wear the dress he likes, not the one she likes). And Kyle is a hypocrite who cheated on Jo's mom but tried to control her actions. And when Jo proves too rebellious for him he tries to make up for his utter failures with Shay by guilting her. And to further that they plant boys their age as a Secret Test of Character, tempting them into romantic or sexual encounters and reporting them to harsh punishment if they consent. This makes Lilith mentally making them kill themselves in the end very satisfying.
