This Artist is Creating a Poster For Every Episode of “The X-Files”
Artist J.J. Lendl is one of those passionate souls who got an idea, an itch if you will, and created something amazing with it. His idea was to create a poster for each episode of the renowned sci-fi/thriller series “The X-Files” for one month. But as time went on, he couldn’t stop and he’s been creating a poster each day for quite a while now, coming up with some innovative and wildly imaginative pieces, each with their own inspirations and visual theme. It’s really quite marvelous!
Lendl explains, “What started as a month-long art project, in which I created a theatrical type poster for one episode of The X-Files each day, has turned into an ongoing art activity. Send in the name of your favorite X-Files episode and I’ll create a unique movie poster based on that episode’s themes, tones and influences.”
This pet project ended up paying off big time for Lendl as he announced recently that he struck a deal with 20th Century Fox to create officially licensed prints. The sad part, he writes, is, “…that I won’t be sharing new posters for now. But rest assured, you’ll be seeing posters for season 7 and beyond in the coming months as they are announced for sale.”
Below is a gallery of several examples but definitely make sure to marvel at every poster by heading to X-Files poster project on Tumblr. You can also buy the posters right here.
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.
