Artist’s Animated Drawings Turn into Monsters Right Before Your Eyes and He’s Got One of John Carpenter!

Even John Carpenter himself couldn’t resist tweeting out artist BENAVLiS‘ tribute to him, agreeing that it’s the perfect drawing of himself. The artist, co-owner of MiLLBiLLY ART Studio in Fall River, Massachusetts, specializes in a unique brand of “paper pullout” art, wherein one image becomes an entirely different image with a single pull upwards.

Carpenter, who BENAVLiS literally turned into “The Thing,” is merely the latest piece in his monster-filled collection of “pullout” art, which we’ve stumbled across thanks to Carpenter sharing the aforementioned piece. How it works is that he folds a sheet of paper and draws an unassuming looking image on it, hiding a hideous monstrosity beneath the fold.

When he pulls up, the art “animates” into the monster.

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
