Mortal Kombat 1creator Ed Boon has teased that we may soon be welcoming a whole new raft of frighteningly new fighters to the roster.

In a post on Twitter/X, Boon posted an image that contained some of horror’s most iconic mascots, including Leatherface, Freddy, Michael Myers, Jason, Pinhead, Jigsaw, and Chucky. All the horror icons had either a tick or a question mark above their heads.

Perhaps most interesting of all, however, was the inclusion of Scream’s Ghostface, which adds some credence to rumors that voice lines pertaining to Ghostface popped up in adataminenot too long ago (thanks,Eurogamer).
