We have missed you, friend.

Not only did I turn 31 this year but so too did My Pet Monster, originally produced by American Greetings in 1986. The monstrous plush doll, which spawned a live-action film and an animated series, was re-animated with a talking version back in 2001, but it’s been quite a while since we’ve heard a peep from our old friend.

The good news? Creepy Company has brought everyone’s favorite ’80s monster back to life in the form of a vinyl toy, which will be put up for grabs late July ahead of an August ship date. The company’s 30th anniversary My Pet Monster vinyl figure will be available in 2 color ways: “Classic,” limited to 500, and “Shackles,” limited to 100.

Both figures stand 6″ tall with articulation in the head, arms and wrist joints.

Check ’em out below and join the Creepy Company mailing list so you’ll be the first to know when they go up for grabs. And also be sure to check out the company’s full line of My Pet Monster goodies, which includes shirts, stickers, prints and enamel pins!

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.
