Stingy Jack

Jack, a perpetually drunk farmer, makes a wager with the Devil himself in an Irish pub. When he tricks Satan into climbing an apple tree and carves a cross into the trunk, the fallen angel vows to haunt him for eternity. Now Jack wanders the earth with a hollowed-out turnip containing a burning coal from hellfire — the original Jack-o'-lantern. This 2025 horror-fantasy-comedy reimagines the ancient Celtic legend as a ridiculous adventure about history's most unfortunate trickster. A blend of dark humor, folkloric motifs, and absurd situations creates a unique genre fusion where horror meets comedy, and mysticism clashes with mundane troubles.
