That rock hard gum though.
There was a time, in a past so distant that it’s become hard to remember, when popular horror movies were given their own trading cards. Franchises like A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Jaws all spawned trading cards, and who could ever forget Topps’ Fright Flicks line, which collected together many of our favorite horror icons from the ’80s?
Sure, those days may be long behind us, but artist Zack Wallenfang is nostalgic for them and he’s taken it upon himself to bring them back. For a couple years now, Wallenfang has been turning his favorite movies – horror and otherwise – into faux wax packages that look like ’80s Topps offerings, and they’re so authentic that we can almost smell the gum.
Wallenfang, clearly a horror fan, has given the retro Topps treatment to a heaping handful of classic horror flicks, including The Exorcist, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Hellraiser, The Thing, and even more recent faves like Death Proof and It Follows.
But enough yapping. Check out Zack’s nostalgia-inducing handiwork below!
