Toons After Dark: The Shivering Truth (2018)

Give the folks at [adult swim] credit for always looking for something new.

Cartoon Network's nuttier half is so high on a new puppet-driven anthology series, The Shivering Truth, that they're previewing it online before it debuts at midnight (ET) on December 9. Shivering Truth comes from the mind of comic Vernon Chatman (ex-Louie), who has done some voice work for [adult swim] in the past. The anthology format allows plenty of room for guest stars, including Janeane Garafolo, Jonah Hill, and South Park co-creator Trey Parker.

Following is the trailer.



To me, it seems like Chatman drew some inspiration from horror anthologies of the past, such as Rod Serling's legendary Twilight Zone, as the bizarre imagery above recalls some of Serling's wilder entries in that series.

Rating: B.
