Alien Anthology was the big winner of the 2011 Reaper Awards, taking three awards, including Best of Show. The Blu-ray collection, from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, also won for Best Extras and Best Packaging for its limited-edition alien egg set.
The Reaper Awards, presented by Home Media Magazine and DreadCentral.com, honor the top horror and thriller titles of the past year. Eligible titles were released between Aug. 1, 2010, and July 31, 2011. Contenders were submitted by studios for consideration by a panel of judges in conjunction with a consumer vote.
Fox won a total of five awards, with Machete winning for Best Line of Dialogue (“Machete don’t text.”) and for Best Kill, for the scene in which Machete cuts open a guy’s stomach and uses his intestines as a rope to escape through a window. 2011 Reaper Award Winners

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
