Tom Savini Created Badass Mask Seen at WrestleMania 33

A huge episode of “The Walking Dead” aired last night, as did WWE’s annual WrestleMania event. You might be surprised by which one makeup master Tom Savini played a part in!

If you’re a wrestling fan as well as a horror fan, you probably know that Tom “Godfather of Gore” Savini is a big time fan of WWE – at a recent show in his home state of Pennsylvania, Savini was spotted sitting front row! Back in 2014, Savini had a hand in designing Triple H’s WrestleMania entrance gear, and this year he made another contribution that you might’ve missed.

One of the highlights of the 2-hour WrestleMania 33 kickoff show was the “Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal,” which put a handful of superstars into the ring at the same time for an over-the-top-rope elimination match. One of the wrestlers who briefly appeared in the match was masked luchador Kalisto; as it turns out, Savini and his team created Kalisto’s Mania mask!

Savini designed the mask alongside artists Jason Baker and Jason Adams. He may not be doing movies anymore, but it makes me happy to see that Savini is still kicking ass in other ways.

Check out the mask below.

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.
