DC Studios' Clayface just did something nobody expected: it turned a Batman villain into a full-on R-rated body horror movie and opened at No. 1 at the domestic box office (Deadline). Directed by James Watkins from a story by Mike Flanagan, it follows Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen, a Gotham actor whose face, and then his whole body, stops belonging to him.

Critics keep reaching for the same comparisons. Time Out called it "one of the ickiest body horrors since The Substance", and over on r/comicbooks fans are calling it "a mix of Joker and The Fly."

It's almost Halloween, you've got one free night, and sleep can wait.

Grab a snack, turn the lights down, and pick your nightmare.
