You have partied with the Addams family and done the monster mash with the Munsters. Now, “Meat the Carvers,” a new animated horror-comedy series.
From the depraved minds at Cinema Dojo, Samson Cornette and Daniel Nation present “Meat the Carvers.” The new animated series is carving out its own niche in the horror-comedy landscape.
“Meat the Carvers” draws inspiration from classic shows like “The Addams Family” and ” The Munsters.” It also draws on Adult cartoons like “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” and “Rick and Morty.” It follows the macabre misadventures of the Carver family, a clan of supernatural misfits trying to balance family life with their innate urges for chaos and carnage.
Led by Delores Carver, a pyrokinetic witch voiced by scream queen Felissa Rose (“Sleepaway Camp,” “Victor Crowley”), and her devoted husband, Victor, a Jason Voorhees-inspired slasher who runs the family deli, the Carvers are anything but your typical suburban family. The cast is rounded out by their vampire son, Damien, ghostly daughter, Eve, and Delores’s feline confidant, Lucius. Added to the mix is Victor’s scheming puppet brother, Jack, and you have a recipe for deliciously diabolical entertainment.

“Meat the Carvers” boasts an impressive voice cast, including Sam Cornette in multiple roles, and guest appearances by Dave Sheridan (“Scary Movie,” “The Devil’s Rejects”) as the possessed My Monster Pal doll, Larry. Frank Dietz (“Zombie Nightmare,” “Black Roses”) plays Malachi Mysterium, a character inspired by legendary horror host Zacherley. The show also features cameos from pop culture enthusiasts Jay (Sludge Central) and Matt (Dinosaur Dracula) of the Purple Stuff podcast.
Each episode serves up a unique blend of horror tropes, pop culture references, and dark humor. From mob entanglements and cannibalistic meatballs to psychedelic journeys through classic horror films, “Meat the Carvers” aims to push the boundaries of animated storytelling.
“Meat the Carvers” is a passion project by creators Sam Cornette and Daniel Nation. It came to life thanks to Cinema Dojo’s self-funding and a modest budget of under $10,000. The two-person operation became a collaborative effort, bringing on board Paul Coffey for animation and editing, Joshua Drake for music and VFX, and Nicole Davis for additional artwork.
Horror fans can tune in to watch season one on YouTube. We’ll keep you posted, as season two is already underway.
