Curry Barker Returns With New Horror Short ‘Mama Bear’
Curry Barker is back with a brand-new horror short, Mama Bear, released just in time for Halloween.
After the huge success of Obsession, Barker returns to his YouTube roots with another unsettling story, this time involving a mysterious phone call, a doppelgänger, and something terrible happening inside a man’s home.
If you’ve followed Barker’s work, you probably remember The Chair and Milk & Serial, two projects that helped put him on the map before his breakout success in Hollywood. You can find those here on Buried Films too if you haven’t watched them. I highly recommend you do. And if you haven’t seen Curry and Cooper’s comedy stuff, holy shit. It’s pretty great too. Look for that stuff.
What I really like about Barker is that even with everything happening in his career, he’s still making short horror films and putting them online for everyone to watch. It’s a good reminder of just how much opportunity there is for independent filmmakers, especially in horror. Which is awesome and something we need more of.
Mama Bear premiered October 29, 2026, on the that’s a bad idea YouTube channel, in collaboration with Windows.
