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.
