Slither back in for another fear-tastic Friday, blood-curdlers! As folks all around begin to remove the cover from their pools and soak up the sun, the spooky world continues to pump out an endless assortment of genre treasures that keep us looking forward to the Halloween season — despite it still being a few months away! As to be expected, though, these genre goodies will be carefully dissected in today’s weekly horror roundup right here at We Got This Covered. From early reviews painting The Boogeyman in a positive light to Ghostface delivering a pulse-pounding ASMR session, we’ve got all the horror news covered.
So, before you map out your summer plans, follow along as we explore the latest updates in the spooky realm.
Robert Englund in a brand-new horror flick is an early Halloween present
Just ahead of the official spooky season, an early Halloween present has come in the form of horror legend Robert Englund partaking in a fresh-faced genre project. Only this time, instead of portraying A Nightmare on Elm Street villain Freddy Krueger, Englund will be starring in a bone-chilling serial killer chiller Natty Knocks just in time for the scorching hot summer months. And if you were at all concerned about the lack of horror content this summer, then hopefully this settled your worries.
Scream collides with TikTok for a bizarre Ghostface ASMR session
If you’ve ever envisioned an iconic horror villain providing an ASMR session on TikTok, then Ghostface has answered your desires. Over on TikTok, the blood-splattering antagonist rewarded Scream followers with a pulse-pounding ASMR session which featured Ghostface rubbing knives across metal objects. Unfortunately, this stunt eventually backfired, with the account getting banned on TikTok for promoting the use of weapons. Nevertheless, it’s hard to beat quality entertainment like that.
Early The Boogeyman reviews indicate another Stephen King smash hit
By now, it’s common knowledge that an array of Stephen King projects are considered to be hits. That being said, all other adaptations will have to move aside for The Boogeyman — the latest film adaptation based on King’s brilliant novel work. In an abundance of early reviews, critics have declared that the newest horror flick is a “terrifying” cinematic experience which focuses on groundbreaking trauma and grief. Time to strap in for the ride!
Crawl back in next Friday, gorehounds, for a brand-new horror roundup.
