This won’t be the first time Englund has collected skulls.

Alexandre Aja, the man behind High Tension and The Hills Have Eyes, is heading into the VR arena with the recently announced “Campfire Creepers,which sounds like a new take on shows like “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” and “Tales from the Crypt.”

The live-action anthology series, directed and produced by Aja…

“Invites the viewer to join the fire circle at Camp Coyote as a group of campers take turns telling scary stories, each one leading you on an immersive ride into your darkest childhood fears.”

One of the episodes includes a guest appearance by Robert Englund, who just provided a sneak peek of his character over on Twitter (@RobertBEnglund). He notes that his character is named “the Skull Collector,” and, well, he looks to be doing just that in the very first image from the VR project.

“Campfire Creepers” is currently filming and the first episodes will be released this Halloween, exclusively in the Oculus Store.

Casey Cooper Johnson and Martin Andersen co-created and wrote the first season.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

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.”
