Creepy Children’s Show Gets Reimagined As a Survival Horror Game

Until today, I hadn’t heard of “The Trap Door”, and now I’m left wondering how its existence eluded me for so long. For the uninitiated, it’s a British claymation series from the 1980’s that followed a group of monsters who lived in a castle. Its target demographic was children, but because it leaned heavily on gothic horror and dark fantasy themes, the show eventually found itself a cult following.

Developer Aetheric Games has decided to reimagine the series as Trap Door, a mod for Amnesia: The Dark Descent that features original writing, voice-overs, a modified sanity system, multiple endings, and no lantern. I hope you’re not afraid of the dark.

For more on Trap Door, head on over to its website, and if you’re interested in learning why they chose this particular series to reimagine, you can read all about that here.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
