Capcom Offering Prize to Whoever Finds Real-life Monsters

With Capcom’s Monster Hunter: World being a big hit, one has to wonder why Capcom is pulling this sort of promotion stunt, but whatever.

According to IGN, to celebrate the release of the game (which has shipped over 5 million units since its launch, making it the fastest-selling entry in the franchise), Capcom is partnering with The Centre of Fortean Zoology founder Jonathan Downes to offer £50,000 ($70,000 USD) “to anyone who can provide conclusive evidence of one of 10 real-life monsters”.

The catch for all of this is that you must provide proof of one of these monsters by June 30th in order to cash in. After receiving the evidence, Downes and his team will analyze it, and any hunter who provides definite proof will be awarded the prize (with multiple winners splitting the pot).

Here’s the list of monsters that Downes and his team are requesting hunters to provide definitive proof of their existence:

  • Bigfoot
  • The Loch Ness Monster
  • Mongolian Death Worm
  • Mermaid
  • Earth Hound
  • The Yeti/Almasty
  • Chupacabra
  • The Flying Snake of Namibia
  • Yowie
  • Cornish Owlman

Monster Hunter: World is available for XBox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

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.
