Retro-Style ‘Re-Animator’ Trading Cards Coming from Fright Rags

Published

on

Fright Rags is re-animating the art of the ’80s trading card.

Remember back in the day when horror movies spawned trading cards? Films like Alien, Jaws 3-D, Hellraiser, and Jason Goes to Hell had their own, and all your favorite ’80s gems were collected together in Topps’ Fright Flicks line. Fright Rags, known for their incredible t-shirts, is now paying tribute to Fright Flicks with trading card sets of their own. First up? Re-Animator!

With a pre-order launching at 10am EST on Wednesday, March 1st, the Re-Animator wax pack series is period-authentic right down to tiny details; the package art is reminiscent of the aforementioned Fright Flicks packages, and the cards feature screen grabs on front and fun trivia/games on back. You’ll be able to grab individual packs, sealed boxes, and factory boxes.

Purchase your Re-Animator trading cards, beginning tomorrow, on the Fright Rags website!

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

Published

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.
