Curry Barker, known for the horror film “Obsession,” releases the unsettling short “Mama Bear” on YouTube. Multiple outlets describe it as a fast, creepy, approximately five-minute horror project available to stream for free, timed ahead of Halloween.

Sources also emphasize Barker’s creative control: he wrote, directed, and edited the short, and it appears on his “That’s a Bad Idea” YouTube channel. Several reports note that “Mama Bear” is made in partnership with Windows, with one outlet describing the release as exclusive to YouTube. Coverage further adds that the film stars Jon Lee Richardson, Katie Sarife, and Ericka Kreuz, presenting it as Barker’s next follow-up after “Obsession.”
