Hallmark’s 2017 Horror Ornaments Include ‘Aliens’ Power Loader

Published

on

Well, this is a beautiful thing I never thought I’d see.

A few years back, Hallmark started giving some love to the horror genre with their annual holiday ornament collections, and I’ve been incredibly happy to see that they’ve continued releasing new horror-themed ornaments each and every year. To date, we’ve seen a Xenomorph, the Aliens Queen, Predator, Frankenstein and even the shark from Jaws, and the fun continues in 2017.

In celebration of today’s Alien Day, Hallmark just unveiled this year’s brand new ornament based on the franchise, which depicts the iconic image of Ripley inside the P-5000 Power Loader from the totally badass finale of James Cameron’s Aliens. The ornament, available on October 7th, is easily the coolest (and most detailed) pop culture ornament Hallmark has ever put out.

But that’s not all that’s headed our way on the horror front this year, as we’ll also be getting new Beetlejuice (July 15), “The Walking Dead” (Oct 7) and “The X-Files” (Oct 7) ornaments!

Check ’em out below and view the full 2017 collection on Hallmark.com.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
