There’s a New Horror Movie Called ‘Llamageddon’ That’s Streaming on Amazon for… One Million Dollars

Published

on

Look, we don’t even know anymore. 2018 is out of its mind, alright?

We can’t be sure what actually happens when you click that “purchase” button, and we’re too afraid to risk finding out, but there’s a horror movie you can find streaming on Amazon that’s titled Llamageddon, and it’s making waves in the community due to its high rental cost. Billing itself as “the most expensive movie on Amazon,” it costs $1,000,000.99 to rent in HD.

(If you want to save a little money, it’s only $999,999.99 in SD!)

Now we can only assume that the makers of Llamageddon are the ones who set that insanely absurd price, likely as a means to generate some viral press for what otherwise looks to be a pretty godawful horror movie. And it’s working, of course, as I’m sitting here right now writing an article about the million dollar price tag. God dammit. They got me, didn’t they?

So what’s Llamageddon about, you ask? In the Howie Dewin-directed film…

“A killer llama from outer space crash lands on Earth and begins reigning havoc on a group of unsuspecting college students.”

You can check out the movie’s trailer below, which is free of charge. Presumably, the movie’s price tag will soon lower by about $999,995, once the team decides to actually make a little money from their clever viral marketing tactic. Just be careful you don’t accidentally rent it right now. You may be paying it off for the rest of your days here on this planet.

Or at least until a devil llama from another planet kills us all.

‘Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story’ Slashes into VHS from Lunchmeat!

ollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story

The SCREAMBOX Original documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story is now streaming on SCREAMBOX, and it’s next coming to VHS!

A limited edition of only 50 copies worldwide, the VHS copies of the Englund documentary will go up for grabs on Saturday, April 27 at 12pm EST on Lunchmeat’s official website.

Josh Schafer of Lunchmeat explains, “With so many of Englund’s works being seen and familiarized on videotape, it only felt right to offer fans and collectors the opportunity to experience this fantastic doc on VHS. We all know the Freddy movies just feel different on videocassette, and we wanted to bring that feel to this film for those who want it.”

“Since first donning a tattered fedora and a glove of eviscerating blades in 1984, Robert Englund has become a beloved horror icon. His portrayal of Freddy Krueger is without doubt a moment as visceral to the horror genre as Chaney’s werewolf or Karloff’s groundbreaking realization of Frankenstein’s monster. However, few realize the depths of Englund’s true power as a character actor away from the latex mask and iconic red and green sweater.

“A classically trained actor and director, Robert Englund has become one of the most revolutionary horror icons of our generation.. This unique and intimate portrait captures the man behind the glove and features interviews with Englund and his wife Nancy, Lin Shaye, Eli Roth, Tony Todd, Heather Langenkamp, and more.

“This is the quintessential documentary on the man who didn’t just bring Freddy Krueger to horrific and historic life on-screen and beyond, but has created a fantastic career as an elite actor and entertainer.”

Selling for $30, the VHS is presented in native widescreen format & duplicated in NTSC, housed in full-color slipcase and pressed on black videocassettes with silver foil face and side labels.

The VHS release is presented in partnership with Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and Screambox, in association with Dead Mouse Productions and Cult Screenings U.K.
