Hallmark Brings Rick Grimes to Your Christmas Tree This Year
All I want for Christmas is… stuff… and things.
Hallmark isn’t exactly a company you’d expect to be giving love to the horror genre, but for the past couple years, they’ve been doing just that. For the 2014 holiday season, horror classics like Jaws and Frankenstein were turned into Keepsake ornaments, and the fun continued in 2015 with Beetlejuice, Gremlins, and Predator ornaments. Last year also saw the release of Hallmark’s very first “The Walking Dead” ornament, and there’s another one headed our way this year.
Joining Daryl Dixon on the tree this year is main character Rick Grimes:
In a post-apocalyptic world, survivor Rick Grimes stands tall at the heart of a ragtag group who must fight off zombies—and the living. Time and again, he makes tough calls and risks his own life to protect those around him as a valued leader on AMC’s The Walking Dead.
The artist-crafted ornament, which measures 1.8″ W x 4.45″ H x 1.13″ D, arms Rick with his trademark revolver, and judging by the look on his face, we’re thinking Negan just stopped by Alexandria and slipped something down his throat. Okay so look. We’ve seen way better Rick Grimes figures over the years, but it’s just cool to see Hallmark spreading that horror love.
Hallmark’s Rick Grimes ornament is expected to arrive in late November.
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.
