All the top Hollywood stars were on hand at the Golden Globes last night. But if I was given the chance to sit at anyone’s table, I’d totally be hanging with the cast of “Stranger Things.“

The hit Netflix series was nominated in two categories at the Golden Globes this year – Best TV Series (Drama) and Best Actress in a TV Series (Drama) – and though it sadly didn’t take home any awards, the show damn sure made an impression at the event. In fact, the cast’s brief appearance during the cold open is being touted as one of the standout highlights of the night.

Jimmy Fallon and a handful of celebs spoofed La La Land for the 74th annual gala’s opening sequence, which included a “Stranger Things”-inspired rap number performed by young stars Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, and Caleb McLaughlin. “And I got a little secret, don’t repeat it or tweet it,” sang the coolest kids ever, “BARB IS STILL ALIVE!”

With that intro, Shannon Purser (as Barb) emerged from a swimming pool. Be still my heart.

Check out the “Stranger Things” portion of last night’s cold open below, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for a poster for John Carpenter’s The Thing in the background!

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.
