Here are the coolest horror collectibles unveiled this week!
Jurassic Park Virtual Pets from Tamagotchi
Ready for a double dose of ’90s nostalgia? Tamagotchi – the beloved virtual pet keychain from our youth – is celebrating Jurassic Park’s 30th anniversary with dinosaur virtual pets. Due out in March, amber and egg versions are available to pre-order for $20.99.
Depending on how you interact with your baby dino, they may evolve into over 20 different dinosaurs, including rarities. If you don’t take proper care of them, they’ll leave you. When your prehistoric pal is in a bad mood, give them a snack (leaves and nuts for herbivores; meat and fish for carnivores) or play one of three mini-games (Which One?, Escape, and Catch Food).
Stephen King will publish Holly on September 5 via Scribner. It follows private detective Holly Gibney, who first appeared in King’s Bill Hodges trilogy (Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, End of Watch), then in The Outsider, and most recently in If It Bleeds.
In the 464-page suspense novel, Holly reluctantly accepts a case involving an elderly couple harboring an unholy secret in their home. She must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmaneuver the shockingly twisted professors.

Suspiria Button-Up from Middle of Beyond
