This “Stranger Things” Christmas Special Mashes Charlie Brown and the Upside Down
With a special appearance from Barb’s corpse!
Look, we realize we’re still a few days away from Halloween, which is our primary focus right now, but Christmas is going to be here before you know it… and oh boy do we come bearing a treat that you are going to enjoy the hell out of come Christmastime. But why wait until then?
Artists Leigh Lahav and Oren Mendez just partnered to create an unofficial “Stranger Things” Christmas special, which reimagines the hit Netflix series in the Peanuts universe. Titled “Merry Christmas, Will Byers,” the three-minute animated video is true to the Peanuts style, and in it Will Byers is having a tough time getting into the holiday spirit.
You would too if you just returned from the Upside Down, I assure you.
Lucky for Will, he’s got friends. And friends are all you need.
Enjoy this early Christmas present, “Stranger Things” fans!
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
