Deformed Lunchbox Presents Terrifying Debut Horror Film “Cereal Man”

Toronto, CA – Deformed Lunchbox presents the all-new horror film CEREAL MAN, a story about a cereal-obsessed man who kidnaps, maims, traumatizes, and eats a lot of cereal. From the team behind the award-winning short film “Make Me a Sandwich” with over 10 million views, Deformed Lunchbox is the fastest-growing horror channel in Canada. CEREAL MAN is the team’s first venture into full-length films.

CEREAL MAN is a hellish 1990s Mississippi nightmare, mixing an 8mm film and Analog found-footage aesthetic that will rival the Texas Chainsaw Massacre as the new, most terrifying threat of the South.

“I feel positively disturbed by the tragic story of Cereal Man. This is the horror film that will get my parents to disown me, and for that, I know it’s going to have the right impact. This is a story that needs to be told. After creating 50 short horror films since 2016, we are excited to launch our Kickstarter and give longtime fans a chance to support what they have been asking from us for years — a full feature-length film in our colorful Deformed Lunchbox style.”
– Denman Hatch – Writer/Director of CEREAL MAN
