Did that headboard look familiar to you?
This past weekend saw the Netflix arrival of brand new Stephen King adaptation Gerald’s Game (read Brad’s review), which has firmly cemented director Mike Flanagan‘s status as a true master of horror. Previous Flanagan horror films Absentia, Oculus, Ouija: Origin of Evil and Hush hinted at his mastery of the genre, but goddamn does his latest take his career one big ole step further.
Gerald’s Game, like IT before it, is an all-time great horror masterpiece.
You may remember that Flanagan placed the haunted “Lasser Glass” from Oculus in Ouija: Origin of Evil, and there’s a similar Easter egg in Gerald’s Game.
As Flanagan himself confirmed on Twitter over the weekend, the headboard of the bed in Gerald’s Game is a dead ringer for the Lasser Glass’ frame!
Similarly, as pointed out by Twitter’s @CultureCrypt, Hush main character Maddie Young’s book “Midnight Mass” is also featured in Gerald’s Game.
