With the horror fandom operating at full-strength these days, many companies have been providing fans with what they need. Last month Funko released multiple horror waves that included villains and killers from movies like Saw, Black Phone, Terrifier, Chucky, and American Werewolf in London. It seems the love of horror is everlasting, and hopefully new collectibles will continue to come because of that.
