Cuddle Up With These Horror Icon Plushies

Published

Funko has given many of our favorite horror movie characters the cute and cuddly treatment with various different toy lines, including POP!, Dorbz and Mopeez. Fan Mikey Sarago takes a similar approach with his custom-made plushies, which are a bit more outside the box than Funko’s offerings.

When not obsessing over horror movies, Halloween and everything in between, I can be found lovingly caressing my VCR or making plushies,” Mikey says.

Sold in the Etsy shop Buttercruds, Mikey’s handmade plushies stand approximately 15″ tall and are made of felt and fleece, with embroidered faces and yarn hair when applicable. The iconic characters he’s made so far include Halloween stars Michael Myers, Dr. Loomis and Jamie Lloyd, as well as Fright Night characters Amy and Evil Ed.

Most outside the box of all, he even turned The Final Chapter‘s hitchhiker into a doll!

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.

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.
