Guillermo del Toro Toys Include ‘Devil’s Backbone’ and ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ #SDCC
NECA owns every event and has just won the San Diego Comic-Con with the reveal of the Guillermo del Toro collection, which begins with a pair of toys from del Toro’s horror fantasy Pan’s Labyrinth and the ghost Santi (Junio Valverde) from his The Devil’s Backbone (2001).
The two larger Pan’s Labyrinth statues depict the iconic Pale Man and Faun(o) from the 2006 Pan’s Labyrinth, which were both performed by the great Doug Jones.
If we’re going to get greedy, and god damn am I going to be greedy, I’m hoping to see toys based on Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, Hellboy, Cronic, Mimic and even Blade II.

New ‘Sleepy Hollow’ Movie in the Works from Director Lindsey Anderson Beer
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
