Lasers and a Ram’s Skull Combine to Form Awesome ‘Silent Hill’ Art
Man, I need more animal skulls. I have none. I also need a laser engraving machine and some sort of expert on laser technology to tell me if it’s safe to use on an iPhone 6, because forget animal skulls, I want the Halo of the Sun on my phone!
I’m getting ahead of myself. While scouring the far reaches of the Internet for interesting things to write about, I stumbled upon some pictures of a Ram’s skull that a Silent Hill fan had transformed alchemy-like into a macabre piece of art. The Halo of the Sun, by the way, is the name of the symbol that represents a doomsday cult called the Order, which serves as a reliable source for many of the awful things that happen in the games.
Silent Hill fans may also recognize it as that wondrous thing that lets you save your game.
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.
