Man Leaves ‘Hell Night’ Actors $1M Estate
Our friends at Badass Digest caught wind of a truly bizarre article that ran a few years back. Ironically, it comes out of ABC Chicago, where Bloody Disgusting is based (not sure how we missed this).
A man who died back in 2012 willed his estate to two actors he never met (how freaking weird…), leaving them an estimated half a million dollars each, reported ABC News back in 2013.
The actors? Kevin Brophy and Peter Barton, who both starred in the 1981 Hell Night.
Fulk had admiration for the actors, whom he had never met, explain the site. He admired them so much that he left his estate to be split between them.
Ray Fulk was 71 when he died. He lived alone on a 160-acre property in Lincoln, Ill. that he inherited from his father.
Why did Fulk will his estate to the two actors?
“He just said they were friends of his,” Behle said, who knew they were actors but did not know Fulk had never met them.
After Fulk died, Brophy and Barton received letters informing them of the bequest. The two are friends who had acted in the film Hell Night. They could not be reached for comment.
The truly bizarre article in full can be read by clicking here. Would any of you leave your money to some actors you’ve never met? This is strange…maybe even a bit creepy.
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.
