The First Five minutes of Terrifier 3 are Art boarding Flight 11 with a box cutter while a woman is assaulted in the background.

Much like the opening of Terrifier 2 introduced the titular Terrifier, Too, Terrifier 3 will introduce The Terrifier Three, a Josie & The Pussycats-style band consisting of Art, the girl, and a new character named Ralph Johnson

Look, people who review movies for a living tried to warn us that the Joker movie would inspire countless mass shootings, and we didn't listen! And now we're just supposed to ignore those same people again so we can enjoy another movie? When will the cycle of violence end?

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
I don't see any articulation, so that would be a statuette, not an action figure.

New Hell House LLC is decent! Seems the franchise is going toward an anthology setup now, which is a lot better than what 2 and 3 ended up being.

Some good spooky scares, and because this is Hell House LLC, there has to be a Creepy Clown.

Also if you wanna stay in the house they filmed in, it's literally just an AirBNB.

The weirdest, I think, is when they make them out of animated characters that don't match their house style at all, so you end up with e.g. Disney characters who suddenly have huge black shark eyes.

No, the weirdest are when they make one of every character from a TV show where there's no distinctive or consistent look for most of the characters. So you get figures of "Brown-haired guy in red sweater" or "Black-haired woman with leather jacket" and if you didn't keep the box there's no way to tell who the hell they're supposed to be.

Nobody can claim they were tricked into buying Funko Pops as a speculative asset. You have to admit that you bought them because you like them, which is just embarrassing.

What's with the "keep the box" thing? You mean people actually take the figures out of the boxes? How are you supposed to stack hundreds of them in your house, then?

Is the market for Funkos still really strong? I had a friend who got deep into Funko collecting and he used to tell me how valuable some of them were but that was like 5 or 6 years ago and I haven't talked to him in a while. The bubble hasn't burst with Funkos yet?

Last I heard, it's pretty much tanked. Even the Funko company pulled an E.T. dump in a landfill disposal of figures because they've become so worthless.

Maybe during COVID there were a lot of people stuck in their homes who were looking at that Funko collection and having a realization that they'd really rather have something they can actually get some entertainment out of like books or movies or music.

This is true and the company I work for is so overloaded with them that they don't move even when there's a Buy 1 Get 2 Free sale. They've strangled floor space and no one can get rid of them.

This is the state most comic book and video game stores are in with them, because so many of them loaded up on them when they were selling as quickly as they arrived, but now all those stores have entire walls of those boxes that they just can't get rid of.

I think that's why it's collapsed--kinda for the same reason new Marvel movies don't command the attention they used to. When such-and-such character was obscure, seeing a related toy was a treat. Now that every bit of IP has been marketed and merchandised to hell and back, the novelty is gone.
