These ‘The Bye Bye Man’ Clips Can’t Be Erased Once You’ve Said His Name!

Published

We laughed when Ray thought of Stay Puft as the Earth’s destroyer in Ghostbusters. But what if he thought of something even more menacing, like Freddy Krueger?

This is the set up of STX’s The Bye Bye Man, in theaters Friday the 13th, January 2017. The selling point is that once you say his name, or even think it, he’ll come for you. His name gives him power. Every trailer, TV spot and piece of footage has reiterated this. But most of all, these four clips hammer it come.

In one clip, we see why the Bye Bye Man is hanging out in a library – one of the kids is attempting to erase his name; but it doesn’t matter, he’s already been called. Another shows a seance in which the rules are reiterated, and the same stupid ass kid says his name, which results in, well, you get it. There’s two more that stabilize tis idea even more, but mostly they’re actually pretty entertaining clips…

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
