Madballs shirts! Madballs socks! Madballs heaven!!

A relic of my own childhood, gross-out toy line Madballs originally debuted on the scene back in the 1980s, introducing the world to monstrous pals like Horn Head, Slobulus, and Skull Face. The squishy balls have come and gone over the years, but here in 2017, they’re back and better than ever. A brand new wave of Madballs, featuring new takes on classic characters, can currently be found in stores such as Target, and we’re happy to report that our friends over at Fright Rags have just picked up the license for a new clothing collection headed our way this Wednesday!

The Madballs Collection, exclusively available on the Fright Rags website on Wednesday, April 19, at 10am ET/7am PT, includes five t-shirt designs and three different pairs of Madballs-themed socks. The shirts, designed by Scarecrowoven, Coki Greenway, Jeff Zornow and Kyle Crawford, bring some of your favorite Madballs characters (including Oculus Orbus, Slobulus and Skull Face) into your closet, and the Joe Guy Allard-designed socks put Horn Head, Slobulus and Skull Face onto your feet. The socks will be a pre-order item, shipping in early May.

Check out the full collection below, which we’re excited to exclusively reveal today!

New ‘Infested’ Exclusive Clip Will Make You Intensely Afraid of Bathroom Drains

Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.

Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.

If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.

In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.

“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.

“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”

Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.

Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.

In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”

The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
