“Mr. Robot” Created its Own 80’s Slasher
Last month, we revealed Invada’s plan to release composer Mac Quayle’s original soundtrack for the cyberthriller series “Mr. Robot“. Not a show that we would normally cover, I agree. However, the music is definitely in the same world as the recent “horrorsynth/dreamwave” revival that’s going on and I absolutely loved it, so I couldn’t say no.
Now, the show has given us another reason to talk about it as the #FSociety mask has been explained and it turns out it’s actually from an 80’s slasher that was created specifically for the show!
Here’s how the scene played out: Elliot and Darlene were watching a digital copy of The Careful Massacre of the Bourgeoisie and it’s revealed within the “movie” that this is where the show’s iconic mask originated. The faux horror film was directed by “Mr. Robot” writer/producer Adam Penn and the first eight-and-a-half minutes of the film have been made available to watch right here.
Rich, bratty siblings BROTHER and Ashley are prepping their New Year’s party. BROTHER, however, refuses to take off the “un-chic” mask of his father, a prop dad used to where on his yacht… the one where Uncle Conrad once committed suicide after losing the family business. Despite having plenty of booze and some illicit drugs (an “infinite supply of pure Colombian boca sugar”) no one seems to be showing up… though Ashley and BROTHER quickly discover they aren’t alone.

Bloody Disgusting and Creep I.E. Con Screening ‘Child’s Play’ with Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent
Looking for a big event to kick off your Summerween?
Creep I.E. Con, one of Southern California’s biggest horror themed conventions, returns for an Aftermath in 2026 — two months earlier than usual! This weekend, the Ontario Convention Center will house over 30 celebrity guests, 170 vendors, and all kinds of tricks and treats courtesy of Bloody Disgusting.
The main event is Saturday night at the Creep I.E. Cinema featuring a screening of 1988’s Child’s Play with stars Brad Dourif, this week’s Emmy-nominee Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent. Note: This is a separately ticketed event within the weekend, so be sure to secure your tickets for the screening and Q&A before they’re all gone.
Beyond the silver screen, Bloody Disgusting will also be hosting panels with stars of the Scary Movie franchise (Tori Spelling, Lochlyn Munro, Simon Rex, Jon Abrahams); return to Spooky World with David Bertolino; take a trip to Woodsboro with Hayden Panettiere; revisit Tales from the Crypt with John Kassir; and go toe to toe with Danny Trejo.
That’s not all. On Saturday at noon PST, we’re hosting an exclusive photo opportunity at our Bloody Disgusting booth with the titular puppet behind Pinocchio Unstrung. Later that afternoon, Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man will be passing out free cold sweets outside at the top of every hour while supplies last.
It all goes down this Friday, July 10th to Sunday, July 12th — at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California. Tickets are selling out fast — in fact, all VIP passes are sold and off the table — so secure your passes ASAP before it’s too late. After all, you don’t want to miss the first real horror event of the year!
