Carla Jimenez is carving out another scene-stealing role…

The 50-year-old Latina character actress is starring in Carved, a horror comedy starring Peyton Elizabeth Lee and produced for Hulu Originals by WorthenBrooks (formerly 20th Digital Studio).

The film will premiere exclusively on Hulu later this year.

Directed by up-and-comer Justin Harding, from his script written with Cheryl Meyer, Carved is based on the 2018 short of the same name, written and directed by Harding for Hulu’s Bite Size Halloween.

The story is about a heartbroken teenage playwright, her younger brother, and a group of survivors who become trapped in a historical reenactment village on Halloween night and must band together to survive a relentless attack by a sentient and vengeful pumpkin.

Others in the cast include Corey Fogelmanis (Ma), Wyatt Lindner (Titans), Sasha Mason (Ozark), Jonah Lees (The Phantom of the Open), DJ Qualls (The New Guy), Marc Sully Saint-Fleur (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Elvis Nolasco (Godfather of Harlem), Matty Cardarople (Stranger Things), Jackson Kelly (Chucky), and Chris Elliott (Schitt’s Creek).

Part of WorthenBrooks’ first-look horror slate with Hulu Originals, the film was developed by WorthenBrooks, with David Brooks, Debbie Liebling, Arbi Pedrossian and Jenna Cavelle serving as producers.

Jimenez’s previous roles include Lincoln Heights, Nacho Libre, Lady in the Water, Accepted, My Name Is Earl and Little Britain USA.
