WINK – An Emoji Horror Halloween Slasher Film!
WINK is a story about a girl alone on Halloween night, standing by to pass out candy to trick-or-treaters. Eventually, she is stalked by Emojis’ and must try to stay alive!
WINK is a fun short film that gives fans a Halloween 1978 vibe with the opening Jack-O-Lantern scene! With the growing popularity of Emojis’ in our culture, I found this to be very entertaining and fun, especially since Halloween is just days away. Actress Danielle Victoria delivered a fantastic performance and fit the part just right; I would not mind seeing more of her in the future.
You can watch WINK in its entirety below and after that check out our interview with Writer and Director Alex J. Mann!

Interview With Writer & Director Alex J. Mann
iHorror: Can you tell us about yourself and your career as a filmmaker?
AJM: Our last two shorts (3 SECONDS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxmTRa6xCZ8) and ME2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6CfyKnvGOc) did well, so we knew we wanted to do something for Halloween. We try to explore a “truth” about technology in each film – in this case, it’s that emojis are creepy, have cold, dead eyes and are a strange shade of yellow. What better way to get this across than to pay homage to the slasher genre? The influences were HALLOWEEN and PSYCHO.
iH: Do you have any other projects coming up in the near future?
AJM: We’re currently pitching a TV show adapted from our short films, and plan to make our first feature next year.
iH: Where can fans watch your other films and receive information on upcoming projects?

Exclusive Sneak Peek: Eli Roth and Crypt TV’s VR Series ‘The Faceless Lady’ Episode Five
Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.
Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.
Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.
So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.
Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?
The newest episode can be found on Meta Quest TV. If you haven’t already, follow this link to subscribe to the series. Make sure to check out the new clip below.

‘Blink Twice’ Trailer Presents a Thrilling Mystery in Paradise
A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.
The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.
The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.
In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
