Artist Behind Underwater Jason at Dive Site is Next Adding Freddy Krueger Statue!
Just last month we told you about a Jason Voorhees statue that had been anchored to the bottom of a popular dive site in Minnesota, recreating the final moments of Jason Lives for divers brave enough to plumb the murky depths. That statue was constructed by Doug Klein, planted 120-feet deep in a mine pit near Crosby, Minnesota back in 2013.
Where *exactly* can the creepy Voorhees figure be found, you ask? An update from Minnesota Monthly this week clarified precisely where he was planted.
“To start, Jason isn’t at the bottom of one of the state’s 10,000 lakes. He’s tethered to the bottom of a state-owned mine pit known as Louise. Diving institutions, such as the Minnesota School of Diving, use it to teach (because, yes, diving is in fact a recreational activity in Minnesota).”
But be careful if you plan on paying a visit to the dive site and taking a selfie with Jason, warns the owner of the Minnesota School of Diving
“I’m worried about people getting hurt,” he told the site, “It is deep, dark, and very cold.”
What’s next for Klein? Well, he says he’s planning on adding an underwater figure of Eddie, Iron Maiden’s mascot, somewhere in Louise, and he’s also been challenged to build and plant an underwater Freddy Krueger figure for another nearby site!
“I just gotta do it,” Klein tells Minnesota Monthly.
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.
