The Parenting ⁞⁞ Halloween 2025

The Parenting is a supernatural horror comedy, centering on Rohan (Nik Dodani) and Josh (Brandon Flynn), a couple heading to a secluded rental in the countryside, unaware of its demonic history. The boyfriends are hoping to have a successful "meet the parents" weekend with both of their families coming together in one place. Ro's adopted parents, Sharon (Edie Falco) and Frank (Brian Cox), prove to be uptight while Josh's more easygoing parents, Liddy (Lisa Kudrow) and Cliff (Dean Norris), show up with dogs they are taking care of and immediately get off on the wrong foot with their counterparts. Things get more awkward as Liddy spills Josh's unemployment secret to Ro's family, while Ro & Josh's bestie Sara (Vivian Bang) accidentally texts the wrong boyfriend, revealing to Josh that Ro was planning to propose this weekend. As the awkwardness grows, Josh calls in reinforcements, leading Sara to join the group as they begin to experience strange sounds and ghostly visions. 

When Frank becomes possessed by a demonic spirit inside the house, he begins to terrorize the group, injuring Josh in the process. With the weather trapping them all inside, with no way to call for help, Josh & Ro soon discover that the source of their demonic woes may be coming from the house's kooky caretaker Brenda (Parker Posey). When they pay her a visit, she reveals the history of the house and how she's been trying to resurrect the spirit that has taken possession of Frank and needs a body, which she was hoping would be Josh instead. The boys attempt to thwart her but she manages to begin the ritual. Ro attempts to sacrifice himself, but Josh and the rest of the group save him by confusing the spirit as it attempts to travel from Frank into a new body, ultimately allowing them to defeat it. In the end, Josh surprises Ro by proposing to him as the group embraces their new extended family.
