[Comic-Con ’13] NECA Already Won the Con…
I don’t even know where to begin as the image gallery below is a bit overwhelming. I think it’s actually best if I highlight a few items and let you kind of carouse through it.
NECA already announced that they’ll be doing a Planet of the Apes line Wednesday morning, and although no images have been shared, yet, there are plenty of other goodies on display at the San Diego Comic-Con.
The one that caught my eye was the new Predator figure, pictured above, that features Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) through the eyes of the film’s hunter. It’s easily a must-own. There’s also a 1/4 scale version of Dutch on the way, and about 100 variations of new Predator toys, including one that absolutely blew my mind (from series 11, featured at bottom).
And while we don’t have a Ripley, still, the Alien and Aliens line continues to grow. And with the tease of a 35th Anniversary Collection arriving in 2014, I remain hopefully NECA can land Sigourney Weaver’s likeness.
Lastly, I’d like to point out some more cool Gremlins 2 toys, which makes me wish I has real shelf space for them. I love the “Wicked Witch of the West” melted Gremlin, as well as the one with the Warner Bros. log on it. I think I may just nab that for shits and giggles.
More soon, NECA is known to reveal more throughout the weekend.
In the wake of this past weekend’s extended “Everything Must Go Edition,” which features 16 minutes of extra bonus footage from Kane Parsons after the movie, A24’s Backrooms is headed home soon, and A24 has dropped one more little treat ahead of the Digital release.
A24 has officially uploaded a video to YouTube titled “1 Hour of Backrooms Ambience,” and it’s probably pretty self explanatory by the title alone. The video no-clips you back into the Backrooms for an hour-long ambient experience, offering up the perfect spooky vibes to fall asleep to or keep running in the background while you go about your work day.

From A24 and director Kane Parsons, Backrooms is the second highest grossing horror movie of 2026, scaring up an incredible $349.7 million at the worldwide box office to date.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire. One night, he discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
