Wear Obsession on your sleeve with Focus Features‘ official apparel and merchandise from the upcoming horror film.
The collection includes T-shirts ($35-36), long sleeves ($40), crewneck sweatshirts ($70), pullover hoodies ($90), hats ($31, tote bags ($49), lapel pins ($10), eye masks ($21), and candles ($42).
Select apparel is designed in collaboration with The Cinegogue, while the candle — scented with notes of tonka, amber, and oud — is crafted by Mise en Scènt.
From writer-director Curry Barker (Milk & Serial), Obsession opens on May 15 via Focus Features.
In the movie, after breaking the mysterious One Wish Willow to win his crush’s heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.
Michael Johnston (“Teen Wolf”), Inde Navarrette (“Superman & Lois”), Cooper Tomlinson (Milk & Serial), Megan Lawless (“The Girl from Plainville”), and Andy Richter (“Conan”) star.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of TIFF, “While Monkey’s Paw scenarios often yield predictable outcomes, and this outcome is practically telegraphed from the start, Barker manages to surprise with the journey itself. And it’s one insane journey paved with blood-soaked violence and no shortage of nightmare fuel.”
Obsession is also getting its own popcorn bucket.

Eli Roth’s ‘Ice Cream Man’ – Free Cones and Exclusive After Hours Party at The Horror Boodega [Event]
Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel, Thanksgiving) returns this summer with Ice Cream Man, which chills theaters this August 7 from Roth’s own label The Horror Section. To celebrate, Bloody Disgusting invites its Los Angeles readers to some frozen festivities this weekend at The Horror Boodega and The Mystic Museum.
This Saturday, August 1st, fans of all ages can stop by The Horror Boodega (3116 W Magnolia Blvd #104) to snag free ice cream cones (while supplies last) and meet the titular maniac. If that sugar high isn’t enough, you can shop the Boo-dega for all kinds of twisted tasty treats for your Summerween celebrations. This event starts at 1 p.m. PST.
Later that night — and right next door — The Mystic Museum (3204 W Magnolia Blvd) will host an afterparty for its 21+ fans featuring dancing, frozen frights, a costume contest, killer photo ops, a mini-bar with film-themed drinks, exclusive merchandise, and plenty of frigid surprises. This party begins at 8 p.m. PST and requires a ticket.
Come one, come all! We’ll see you there!

Written by Roth and longtime friend Noah Belson, Ice Cream Man is set in the idyllic summer town of Bayleen Bay, where sheer terror ensues as an ice cream man serves up sweet delights — with horrifying results.
Ari Millen (“Orphan Black”) stars in the titular role along with Benjamin Byron Davis (Red Dead Redemption), Karen Cliche (Thanksgiving), Dylan Hawco, Sarah Abbott, Shiloh O’Reilly, Kiori Mirza Waldman, Charlie Zeltzer (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), and Charlie Storey.
Snoop Dogg — who’s also working with Roth on Don’t Go in That House, Bitch — is contributing music to the film, along with composer Brandon Roberts (Thanksgiving).
The prosthetic makeup effects are handled by Oscar winner Adrien Morot (The Whale, Thanksgiving) and Steve Newburn (Frankenstein, Thanksgiving).
Ice Cream Man is Executive Produced by Grammy-winning rap icon Nas.
It’s worth noting that Roth’s Ice Cream Man has nothing to do with the ’90s movie starring Clint Howard. A sequel to that film, however, has been trying to get off the ground for years.
