We’re Loving These Retro Style Rubber Horror Toys
One of my favorite things growing up was a rubber Frankenstein toy (or Frankenstein’s Monster, if you insist on being a stickler). I still to this day have no idea where he came from (though I’ve heard different origin stories over the years), but he was bright green, had a gash on his forehead, and was rocking a red shirt with a black jacket and black pants. He was super jiggly due to being made of rubber, and I absolutely loved him.
I have no idea where that toy went, but I bring it up today because I just came across an artist who is basically turning other horror icons into that same style rubber toy. His name is Louis Kiss, and his appropriately titled Etsy shop Rubber Monsters is currently stocked with retro-style hanging rubber toys of memorable villains such as The Ring‘s Sadako, The Evil Dead‘s Cheryl, the Davis baby from It’s Alive, and even the iconic maggot-eyed zombie from Lucio Fulci’s Zombie. Just like the Frankenstein toy of my youth, they have strings coming out of the backs of their necks so that you can hang them up or dangle them from your finger, and Kiss regularly updates his shop with new color variants and even brand new monsters.
Check out some favorites below and grab one in the Rubber Monsters shop for just $20!
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.
