Hallmark’s 2017 Horror Ornaments Include ‘Aliens’ Power Loader
Well, this is a beautiful thing I never thought I’d see.
A few years back, Hallmark started giving some love to the horror genre with their annual holiday ornament collections, and I’ve been incredibly happy to see that they’ve continued releasing new horror-themed ornaments each and every year. To date, we’ve seen a Xenomorph, the Aliens Queen, Predator, Frankenstein and even the shark from Jaws, and the fun continues in 2017.
In celebration of today’s Alien Day, Hallmark just unveiled this year’s brand new ornament based on the franchise, which depicts the iconic image of Ripley inside the P-5000 Power Loader from the totally badass finale of James Cameron’s Aliens. The ornament, available on October 7th, is easily the coolest (and most detailed) pop culture ornament Hallmark has ever put out.
But that’s not all that’s headed our way on the horror front this year, as we’ll also be getting new Beetlejuice (July 15), “The Walking Dead” (Oct 7) and “The X-Files” (Oct 7) ornaments!
Check ’em out below and view the full 2017 collection on Hallmark.com.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
