Although we’re in the dog days of summer, the spooky season is right around the corner. Because of that, companies like Funko and NECA have been preparing by rolling out their scary-good Halloween lineup. However, forhorrorfans, it’s not truly Halloween until you walk into aSpirit Halloweenfor the first time. The one-stop retailer for all things costumes,horror collectiblesand blood-soakedanimatronicsalways have their own batch of exclusive items. Now, just as the days are starting to get a bit shorter,Spirit Halloween has unleashed their Horror Movie Babies to warm your undead heart.
The chilling collection is exactly what the name describes. They’re static props that depict some of the genre’s most deadly monsters as infants.This adorable and frightening line includes six icons. This would beMichael Myers fromHalloween II(1981),GhostfacefromScream.LeatherfacefromThe Texas Chain Saw Massacre,Pennywise fromIT,Art the ClownfromTerrifierand Sam fromTrick ‘r Treat. Despite being in a smaller package, these killers come with a ton of razor sharp detail. For instance, Michael’s eyes are bleeding just like in the finale of his first sequel, Sam is holding his half-eaten pumpkin lollipop (very fitting for a child) and Art is wearing his sunflower sunglasses that he dawned in the nerve racking Halloween store sequences fromTerrifier 2. Particularly, given the dark unrated nature of Art’s franchise, it’s hilarious to see this modern slasher king as a baby. Then again, he was horrifically reborn at the end ofTerrifier 2.
Horror’s Bloody Bright Future
More than a few of these horror legends will be returning in some form in the near future. Art is the closest, withTerrifier 3stabbing its way to theaters on June 04, 2025. This is the first film in the franchise not to be set during Halloween. Instead, Art has set his deadly eyes on the joyful Christmas holiday season. That has garnered a lot of excitement from the horror community.Ghostface will also be making a slash-tastic comeback to the silver screen inScream 7.That film will also seeNeve Campbellreturn asSidney Prescottafter sitting out the last outing. The franchise’s original writer,Kevin Williamson, will be directing the project as well.
On the small screen, Pennywise will be haunting Derry once again in the IT prequel seriesWelcome to Derry.Bill Skarsgårdwill be reprising his role as the dreaded dancing clown and is set to debut sometime in 2025 on Max.
