Editor’s note: This article includes mild spoilers for “Adult Swim Yule Log.”
All due respect to James Cameron and his underwater actors in “Avatar: The Way of Water,” but you can’t beat the filmmaking gamble of Casper Kelly’s “Adult Swim Yule Log.” Adult Swim’s first feature-length live action endeavor dropped without warning December 11 after the season finale of “Ricky and Morty”: A cozy two-minute yule log video morphs into a disturbing home invasion horror movie that becomes a supernatural cabin-in-the-woods thriller with a young couple (Justin Miles and Andrea Laing) who may be at the mercy of a haunted fireplace.

Fortunately, official credit eligibility has recently been expanded so that script contributors can be acknowledged as such, but things weren't always so clear-cut. It's no surprise that battles over acknowledgment have led to so many conflicts; no one wants the wrong person to get all the praise.
