[Random Cool] If Horror Characters Were Metal Genres
A cool image popped up in my newsfeed that compares different horror or horror-esque characters with different genres of metal. Different characters include Hellraiser‘s Pinhead, The Crow‘s Eric Draven, Clash Of The Titan‘s Hades, and more.
Several of them seem pretty spot on (Pinhead and Dracula definitely work) but some of these really make me think that genre-defining is going WAY too far. “Depressive Suicidal Black Metal”? “National Socialist Black Metal”? “Raw Black Metal”? What’s that, black metal that wasn’t cooked long enough?
Head on down to check out the image and leave your thoughts on which characters would be good with which types of metal genres! Don’t ask me why but I have a weird feeling that Jason would really dig listening to some Pantera.

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.
