The Cure, Guns N Roses, and More Get the ‘Garbage Pail Kids’ Treatment
Growing up, getting something from Topps was an exciting moment. Candy, sports cards, collectibles… Whatever it was, I knew it was going to be something made with quality and care.
One of their products that horror fans are intimately acquainted with was their Garbage Pail Kids line, which was a mockery of Cabbage Patch Kids and ultimately spawned a less than well received movie. Still, the cards themselves are still highly sought after and adored by horror and non-horror fans alike.
Now Topps has decided to mix the music world with the aesthetic of Garbage Pail Kids by taking highly recognizable bands and giving them a gruesomely playful artistic facelift! Bands like The Cure, Guns N Roses, and more have been blessed with this ridiculous yet endearing design. Check a few out below and then snag prints directly from Topps.
Cheers to StereoGum for the find!
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
