Killer in Craven’s Soul

Last Updated on July 26, 2021

It seems like forever since we’ve heard anything from the MY SOUL TO TAKE (formerly 25/8) camp, the latest horror flick coming from legendary horror director Wes Craven. But no worries, as today we’re catching a tiny glimpse at the film’s killer, courtesy of MySpace and Empire magazine!

Over at stunt man Manny Siverio’s MySpace page is a photo of what appears to be the killer in MY SOUL TO TAKE (that’s Siverio on the right with the killer ready to slit his throat). The killer also appears to be Michael Myers in HALLOWEEN 2, or some other form of crazed homeless individual. But is that cool? I think in the context of the movie, yes… yes it is.

As a refresher, MY SOUL TO TAKE goes a bit like this: A serial killer returns to his hometown to stalk seven children who share the same birthday as the date he was allegedly put to rest. Allegedly. But little did they know he was busy being a homeless dude for 15 years, and now he’s back and he’s pissed off!! Or yeah, maybe he’s of the undead variety.

Either way, I’m kind of digging the look of this new killer, no matter how Rob Zombie-ish he looks. Maybe this is the new face in terror? We can only hope. MY SOUL TO TAKE stars Max Thieriot, John Magaro, Paulina Olszynski, Nick Lashaway, and Emily Meade, and is still awaiting a release date. In the meantime, enjoy the look of the new killer!
