What happened
Curry Barker, the director behind the hit horror film Obsession, has just released a new short horror film titled “Mama Bear” on YouTube. The five‑minute clip, which Barker wrote, directed and edited, is described as unnerving and slightly graphic, offering a quick scare for viewers ahead of the upcoming Halloween weekend.
It appears on his “that’s a bad idea” channel, where the description thanks Windows for sponsoring the short. Barker was also featured in an Instagram video earlier this week, promoting the release.
The short’s brief runtime and straightforward production make it an accessible addition to the horror community’s seasonal content. Fans of Barker’s work can now stream the new piece directly on YouTube without a subscription or purchase.
