A lot of horror fans assume that the “Slasher Flick” was killed off in the 90s, with the most likely culprit being Wes Craven’s loving satire, Scream. While it’s true that the many incarnations of Ghostface helped to expose the subgenre’s overused tropes and weaknesses, slasher movies never really died; they just became less mainstream

Announced tonight as part of Funko’s ongoing “Funkoween” celebration, two

Reunions are at the heart of every great sequel.

“I don’t care about the box office. I care about the connection.
