Exclusive Interview: The Director Behind Jokers Wild: Must-Watch DC-Inspired Horror Short

Writer: Craig BakerCraig Baker

If you're a fan of DC Comics and love a good twist on classic storylines, Jokers Wild is a YouTube short film you won’t want to miss. Clocking in at just 12 minutes, this gripping film reimagines the iconic Death in the Family storyline boldly and unexpectedly.


What makes this short even more exciting is the presence of David Howard Thornton, best known for his chilling portrayal of Art the Clown in the Terrifier franchise. His performance brings a new level of intensity to the Joker, making this adaptation a standout.


I had the pleasure of speaking with the director, Aaron Bennett, about his creative process, the inspiration behind the film, and what it was like working with Thornton!
