If you weren't already stoked to check out Guillermo del Toro's CRIMSON PEAK after laying eyes on the teaser, poster, and images from the upcoming gothic horror tale perhaps some praise from two Masters of Horror will sway you. Namely, Stephen King and HORNS author Joe Hill.

It seems that King and his accomplished son Hill were fortunate to get an early peek at del Toro's CRIMSON PEAK and were blown away by it, sharing their thoughts on Twitter which we've embedded below. The rest of us will get to see what has these two horror masters so excited when CRIMSON PEAK haunts theaters on October 16.

Here's what Hill had to say:

And here is what King had to say about CRIMSON PEAK, a film he calls "fucking terrifying". My anticipation for this film just went through the roof!

The film stars Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam and Jim Beaver.

In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds…and remembers.

CRIMSON PEAK opens October 16th.
