This Crazy ‘Night of the Living Dead’ Poster Is Way Gorier Than the Film
1968. The year that forever changed the horror genre.
Few films in the history of cinema are more influential than George A. Romero’s game-changing classic Night of the Living Dead, which is single-handedly responsible for all things zombie that came in its wake – and yes, that most certainly includes “The Walking Dead.” Prior to the film’s release, zombies were depicted as little more than re-animated slaves, but it was Romero who turned them into the undead, flesh-eating monsters that we know them to be today. So if he’s a little salty about not quite getting the credit for all that, hey, can you blame him?
Brad Pitt didn’t ruin zombies, but Romero sure as hell created them.
In any event, Grey Matter Art just unveiled and put up for grabs a brand new poster that pays tribute to Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, and oh boy is it a looker. The art, done up by the wonderfully over the top Godmachine, brings a splash of color to the black and white film, depicting a gruesome scene that is quite a bit gorier than anything seen in the movie itself.
The 18″x”24 print is limited to 150 and can be purchased over on Grey Matter’s website.
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.
