When your wife's prank involves a knife drawer, you make a movie. Of course.

Rooster Teeth Founders Reunite for Christmas Horror Movie 'Bad Toys'

Rooster Teeth founders Matt Hullum and Burnie Burns are reuniting for "Bad Toys," a Christmas horror-comedy now in development, with Hullum writing and directing and Burns executive producing. The film draws on medieval Scandinavian elf folklore, asking what happens when a mischievous elf grants a naughty child's wish and makes them regret it. Hullum's wife inspired the idea by hiding elf dolls in places like the knife drawer. Flatiron Pictures' Suzanne Weinert produces, with pre-production set for early 2027 and a theatrical release planned for Christmas that year.
