Horror game developer and publisher Red Barrels, known for their terrifying Outlast franchise, dives deeper into horror this Halloween with the release of a limited-edition Mother Gooseberry plush, comics, and more. Fans of the unnerving universe can now bring home this seemingly adorable character, though her history reveals a much darker side. The plush is available for a short time, adding a tangible element to the grotesque lore that has captivated audiences.
Mother Gooseberry originates from a twisted piece of 1950s television history. “The Mother Gooseberry Hour” was a beloved children’s show, featuring the cheerful host alongside her puppet co-host, Doctor Futterman. Together, they taught young viewers about dental hygiene and manners. But behind the innocent façade, the reality was far more sinister. Futterland Studios, where the show was produced, became the center of a major criminal investigation when law enforcement uncovered chilling crimes tied to the show’s production. Charges of kidnapping, racketeering, and conspiracy to murder led to a brutal police raid in which several officers lost their lives during the capture of the seemingly gentle Mother Gooseberry.
Mother Gooseberry was eventually imprisoned, but her story didn’t end there. The shadowy Murkoff Corporation and its eccentric associate, Dr. Easterman, intervened. Under their influence, Mother Gooseberry and Dr. Futterman fully embraced their darker tendencies, turning into even more unhinged versions of their former selves. Now, Mother Gooseberry serves as a haunting reminder to follow her rules—or else.
For those intrigued by her unsettling story, Red Barrels has included more about the terrifying character in her own comic chapter within the “Murkoff Collections.” This collection offers further insight into the twisted minds of Mother Gooseberry and her disturbing journey from a children’s TV icon to a notorious figure of terror.
The Mother Gooseberry plush might look innocent on the outside, but fans know there’s much more lurking beneath the surface. Available only for a limited time, the plush brings horror to life in an unexpected way, allowing fans to immerse themselves further in the twisted world Red Barrels has so meticulously crafted. Make sure to grab yours before it’s too late and delve into the eerie history of one of the most disturbing characters to emerge from the Outlast universe.
