DC Showcase: The Phantom Stranger

DC Showcase: The Phantom Stranger (2020) is a 15-minute animated horror short from Bruce Timm, free to watch online on iFILM. Picture a 1970s occult chiller squeezed into a quarter of an hour.

A young woman named Jess shows up with friends at a party in a crumbling mansion. The host, a smooth man called Seth, is far too charming and far too welcoming. As the night turns sinister, the silent Phantom Stranger steps between Jess and the trap laid for her. The voice cast lands hard: Peter Serafinowicz as the Stranger, Michael Rosenbaum as the oily Seth. Timm packs a whole retro nightmare into fifteen minutes flat. A tight, eerie bite of DC animation for anyone who likes their cartoons dark. Stream The Phantom Stranger online on iFILM.
