Seriously, how? They've been trying to kill of superheroes for years (Watchmen, the Boys) but nothing seems to stick.

    On that note I would be down for more superhero horror movies

      Oh that's a great idea, I think there's a lot of untapped horror that's left to be explored in super hero stuff, the implications of a lot of powers have a lot of pure horror potential

        The most recent Fantastic 4 was apparently originally intended to lean into that, with some body horror shit when they got their powers and stuff, but the studios apparently removed the vast majority of it

      superhero horror movies

      This is really hard because horror thrives on being very low-budget and superhero films are generally expensive. So you get half-assed PG13 horror to try to get crossover appeal and it flops and no one tries again for a while.
