Who’s ready for Toy Fair?!

The annual Toy Fair takes over the Javits Center in New York this coming weekend, and as always, you can count on us to keep you up to date with all the big horror reveals at the event; in fact, I’ve made it a point to chain myself to the desk this weekend so that we don’t miss a beat! But why wait? Ahead of the big event, we’ve got another brand spankin’ new reveal today.

Mezco held a special press event last week to show off some of the goods they’ll be bringing to Toy Fair, and for those who weren’t able to attend, they’ve been showing off those reveals on their Facebook page. Last week we showed you a pair of Dawn of the Dead toys they’re going to be releasing next year, and now we come bearing the first look at their “Burst-a-Box” line!

Five horror icons get turned into jack-in-the-box toys for the Burst-a-Box line, which puts Pinhead, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Chucky, and Trick ‘r Treat‘s Sam into boxes themed after each horror icon’s respective franchise. Like a traditional jack-in-the-box, a turn of a handle on the boxes will make each villain pop up out of them, providing a fun little jump scare.

Check ’em out below and stay tuned for more from Toy Fair!

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.
