Which Horror Icon Should ‘Mortal Kombat X’ Add Next?

Published

on

There’s a very good chance that a third Kombat Pack is headed to Mortal Kombat X, with a reveal expected at EVO tournament (July 15-17). And since the game has added four horror icons already — Jason Voorhees, Predator, Alien and Leatherface — it’s possible that NetherRealm isn’t finished teasing the TerrorDrome-esque horror movie fighting game it seems to have been gradually building up to since Jason joined the roster about a year ago.

So, if you could play as any of the great many horror movie villains we’ve seen on-screen, who/what would it be? You can choose your top three from the poll below, or you can name your own.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
