Gore-geous Face Masks

Published

on

**iHorror cannot make medical or health claims. iHorror cannot speak on the safety measures you should take, nor on the effectiveness of these face masks. We are just sharing them for aesthetics sake.**

We are in a strange new world now where we are compelled, or even required, to wear face masks when we go outside to protect us from COVID-19.

Since many of us do not know how to sew, we have turned to the internet to find masks. Etsy has been sprouting new sellers of fabric face masks weekly. Many patterns are available to express ourselves while we try and stay safe.

For horror fans, there are many sellers that have embraced the genre in their stores.

With a 5 star rating and 533 sales, Etsy store NerdTrove has the cutest The Exorcist inspired mask with a chibi style possessed Regan. Among their nerdtastic prints, NerdTrove also has chibi inspired twins from The Shining.

The reviews boast these masks are “well made”, “comfortable” as well as “ship super quickly.” The prices range from $17.99 – $19.99 before shipping is included. These masks are made with a double layer of fabric and have a satin ribbon tie.  You can find NerdTrove here!

Another 5 star rating Etsy store is WellDoneGoods by Cyberoptix out of Detroit, Michigan. In their store, their Shining face mask is beautiful. The printed fabric is the same patterns as the carpet found in Stanley Kubrick’s movie adaptation. While this mask runs a bit more at $30, it is a double layer mask and has elastic ear loops for a better and more secure fit. The description also states “over two hours of work” goes into these masks to “get it just right, and it’s infinitely reusable!”

Outside of Etsy retail stores such as Hot Topic have also added masks to their vast array of clothing, accessories, and toys.

Advertised as “Fashion Face Masks,” Hot Topic has increased their selection over the last two weeks. Beginning with about half a dozen different patterns, the online component to the mall retail store has 25 different masks to choose from with elastic ear loops.  You can also purchase their bandanas, which can be fashioned into a face mask with a simple DIY tutorial which you can find here.

Hot Topic’s face mask prints range from simple solid colors to the edgy, darker side of pop culture we have come to know them for. The average price runs $12.90 (bandanas $7.90) before shipping, but lately you can catch their 20% off deal online.

Some of the store’s face masks are available for pre-sale, while others are on back order but are expected to be in stock soon. As with the other masks mentioned, Hot Topic makes it clear for their customers to know these masks are not suitable for medical or clinical use, and all sales are final. However, at a time like this, many are turning to face masks to express themselves in public while staying safe, and Hot Topic certainly has some gore-geous patterns!

Even Spooky Empire, Florida’s largest horror convention, is joining the face mask retail spike. Spooky Empire, the self declared ‘Dark Side of Comic Con’ had to postpone its June event until mid August. However, that has not stopped them from keeping in touch with their fans on Facebook and offering their very own face mask selection in their webstore. Their face masks run $15 each.  You can find Spooky Empire’s store here!

With the dark humor the convention creator Petey Mongelli is known and loved for, a new shirt has also been added to their store. This shirt has their infamous Frankenstein image grasping the convention’s name in gloved latex hands while wearing a face mask. They have appropriately named this shirt “Quaran-tee.”

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
