👉 Babe Macabre is a short-lived 1999 animated comedy film written and directed by John Straczynski that parodies the macabre themes of Stephen King's novels through a surrealistic lens, featuring a talking corpse who sets out to find his mate and become human. The film's unusual blend of dark humor and whimsical imagery aimed to bring attention to King's works but was largely dismissed as an eccentric experiment in animation.
