Best Horror Funko Pop! Figures
Carrie - Funko Pop!
The Most Murderous Prom Queen Ever
For fans of '70s horror movies or remakes of '70s horror movies comes this Carrie Funko Pop! It features the titular character in her most iconic look, which is a prom dress covered in blood.
- Iconic look
- Contains the right amount of blood
- Pays homage to an often-overlooked horror classic
- Reminds people of the underwhelming remakes
The movie Carrie is an underrated horror classic from 1976. It isn't underrated regarding reception, as most people liked the original. However, it's underrated because people don't talk about it too often. As such, you don't expect to see collectibles based on the movie, which is why this Funko Pop! is so special. Admittedly, it's hard to tell whether this figure is based on the original movie or one of the remakes. The benefit of this is you can just pretend it's the one you prefer.
Get Out: Chris Washington Hypnosis - Funko Pop!
Moments Before Chris Gets His Revenge
Get Out is a modern horror and thriller classic that won't soon be forgotten. This detailed Funko Pop! can help you remember one of the famous hypnosis scenes that Chris had to suffer through.
- Inclusion of the tears rolling down his face
- The small detail of the cotton coming out of the chair, which saves Chris in the movie
- Immortalizes a brilliant scene
- Anyone who hasn't seen the movie may be confused as to why you have a Funko Pop! of a crying man strapped to a chair
- Isn't based on the most famous hypnosis scene in the movie
Get Out is one of the deepest and smartest horror movies in recent memory. When you're watching a thought-provoking piece like this, your mind probably doesn't wander to Funko Pops! But there is a couple of them based on the movie. This one is the best as it includes the protagonist, Chris, and shows him in one of Get Out's best scenes. The scene occurs toward the end of the film when the antagonists try to hypnotize Chris again. It's a classic moment that you can immortalize with this figure.
The Walking Dead: Biker Daryl - Funko Pop!
Ready For The Open Road That Will Quickly Fill With Walkers
Daryl Dixon has long been among the most popular and best characters in The Walking Dead television series. This Funko Pop! is based on the late-series version of the character, and it really shows that the apocalypse took its toll on the poor man.
- The figure looks worn-down and haggard like Daryl does in the later seasons
- Contains small details like bags under the eyes and a wrongly-buttoned shirt
- Nice to see the crossbow and knife included
- Expensive
- A biker without a bike
It isn't easy to survive in The Walking Dead universe, which is why Daryl Dixon is so great, as he lives through many perilous situations in the TV series. Yet, that life still takes it out of you. This is hard to get across in Funko Pop! form, as most of these figures look bright-eyed and happy no matter what they're doing. This Daryl one, however, uses a few small details to make the character look a bit disheveled, like he does in the show. This is what makes this a wonderful collectible.
Universal Monsters: Frankenstein & The Bride - Funko Pop!
A Match Made In A Lab
While they don't have the best relationship in fiction, Frankenstein's monster and his bride are one of the most famous pairs in horror history. So, it's only right that they come as a delightful two-pack of Funko Pops!
- Lack of color to resemble the old movie they're based on
- Nice details on the hair of both characters
- Accurate clothing
- The title of the Funko Pop! pack calls him Frankenstein instead of Frankenstein's monster
- The bride rejected the monster in the movie
Cute couples aren't a common sight in the horror genre. You certainly don't often see two terrifying monsters getting together. This is likely why Frankenstein's monster and his bride are so memorable, as they're unique. In the Bride of Frankenstein movie, the two don't actually get together. But their limited screen time with each other was enough for the couple to be remembered forever and commemorated in this Funko Pop! pack. And they're two well-designed and highly detailed Pops! that look fantastic. So, who cares about their relationship status?

Horror VHS covers and posters don't get much more legendary than the classic Jaws one. So, the fact it's celebrated as part of this Funko Pop! is one reason the collectible is so great. Plus, it also helps make the product feel special, as while it isn't the only Pop! with a VHS cover in the world, they're still fairly rare to see. The choice to accompany it with Chief Brody of all the characters is wonderful, as he's the most celebrated character in the flick, and it isn't just because he's the protagonist. The guy is one of the best parts of the movie and is even responsible for its most famous line: "You're gonna need a bigger boat."
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Leatherface - Funko Pop!
The Often Misunderstood Monster
Few faces in horror are as well-known as the one covered in leather from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. You can celebrate that creepy man with this highly-detailed and surprisingly adorable Funko Pop!
- Classic Leatherface mouth
- Accurate clothing
- Surprisingly adorable

- Too cute to be scary
Some horror characters will be remembered forever, and Leatherface is part of the group. This is because he is one of the most influential and scary slasher monsters ever. Yet, when you look at this Funko Pop! "scary" probably isn't the first word to come to mind. After all, he actually looks quite cute in his little mask and brightly colored chainsaw. However, that lack of terror doesn't diminish the quality of this product, as it still looks fantastic and would look even better on display.
Chucky - Funko Pop!

- The Menacing expression on his face
- Scars look great
- Outfit is detailed
- Can't be sure that the soul of Chucky isn't inside the Funko Pop!
Despite being one of the least physically imposing slasher villains ever, Chucky has continually struck fear into viewers' hearts since he debuted in the late '90s. This figure is based on the version of the character from The Bride Of Chucky. The reputation of that movie is mixed as some see it as the best in the series, while others aren't as fond of the flick. This Funko Pop! though, can please any fans of the murderous doll.

It: Pennywise With Balloon - Funko Pop!
Pennywise Loves Derry
The star of the IT franchise and all-around horrifying clown, Pennywise, is immortalized in this Funko Pop! He's in his funny clown get-up and holding a balloon that shows his love for the town he terrorizes.
- Still scary even in Funko Pop! form
- Includes the red balloon
- Authentic make-up and outfit
- Eyes don't look as sinister as they do in the movie
- The plain red balloon is more iconic
While Pennywise has existed for many years, the character has significantly increased in fame in recent times due to the IT movies. In fact, prior to the 2017 film, you'd be hard-pressed to find Pennywise collectibles. Now, not only is there a lot more, but there are some very good ones, too. This Funko Pop! is currently the best figure you can find of the sinister clown on the market due to how incredibly detailed it is. And while the eyes aren't quite what you see in the movies, at least they're different from the basic Funko Pop! black ones.
