Horror Toy Roundup at the San Diego Comic-Con

Published

on

While we’ve shared details on all of the following, our friends at Toy Ark have done a great job of sharing images from the San Diego Comic-Con floor of a handful of genre toys coming later this year.

There’s everything from Mezco’s Pinhead from their Hellraiser line and Chucky from Child’s Play, while NECA unloaded with MEGO-style dolls of Surgeon Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2‘s Chop-top to go along with their “Ash vs Evil Dead” line and Ultimate Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th Part 3.

Mezco also put out a sneak peak at their One: 12 Collective Ghostbusters figures based on the original film, while Blitzway won the Comic-Con floor with their own sixth-scale Ghostbusters figures that are so lifelike it’ll blow your mind. Sorry Mezco…

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.”
