Can You Name All the References in This Mash Up Poster?
The Hero Complex Gallery exhibition Sci-Scapes opened recently and it features artwork by Joshua Budich, Tim Anderson, Tim Doyle, as well as others, each of whom provided artwork inspired by Moebius, Katsuhiro Otomo, and Geof Darrow. But it’s the combined work of Josan Gonzalez and Laurie Greasley that really took us aback!
Their piece “The Raid” is a mashup of some of sci-fi, horror, and anime’s most iconic characters, all of whom are engaged in a massive battle that brings blood, gore, and violence. The final result is a smorgasbord of characters that becomes a veritable “Where’s Waldo?” of trying to identify each person contained within the piece. The obvious ones are from Akira, Blade Runner, Alien, Ghost in the Shell, and Blade but there are ones that will be a mite more challenging to recall. How many can you identify?

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
