[FEAR Awards] The Best New Horror IP Of 2013!

Published

on

Because 2013 marked the beginning of the end for one console generation, the number of fresh IPs that could potentially blossom into new franchises was low, as most developers shifted their focus to sure things (sequels) or secret next-gen projects. If you’re a fan of sequels, last year had to be a deeply exciting time for you.

As for the rest of us, we had try our best to glean happiness from the paltry selection of new IPs introduced last year, almost exclusively from indie developers, and take solace in knowing that brighter times lie ahead.

Vote for your favorite after the jump!

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs

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.

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.
