We Really Wish Funko Would Actually Make These Italian Horror POP! Toys
In the years since launching their POP! line of vinyl toys, Funko has given so many pop culture characters and real-life figures the treatment that it’s at this point impossible to even keep track. They seem to announce new ones every single day, and you can’t throw a rock without hitting a big display of them.
To their credit, Funko has brought tons of horror characters from both film and television into the line, but we realize that there are just some movies they’d never bother with. After all, as much as I may want it, I’d probably be the only person who would actually buy a Clint Howard Ice Cream Man toy.
On that note, Photoshop master Frank Browning just imagined a line of POP! vinyl toys based on Italian horror films, his contribution to this year’s Italian Horror Week over on Doc Terror. The blog’s owner, James Harris, passed away earlier this year, but the annual celebration is continuing in his honor.
“Prepare yourself to see The Beast from Anthropophagous, the Etruscan Zombie from Burial Ground, Dr. Freudstein from The House by the Cemetery, and the Worm-Eyed Zombie from Zombie aka Zombi 2 aka Zombie Flesh Eaters as you have never seen them before,” Frank writes. “As Custom Funko Pop Figures!”
We can at least dream, right?
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
