Premiering NEXT WEEK, “Stranger Things 4” is a season that’s heavily influenced by Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street, with Robert Englund joining the cast and the brand new villain inspired by Englund’s greatest creation, Freddy Krueger. We expect many references and Easter Eggs throughout, and one of them has been spotted in a brand new image.

IGN just ran an extensive “Stranger Things 4” preview this afternoon, and included within the article are four new images from Season 4. One of them takes us into the 1980s video store that Steve and Robin are now working at, and seen behind Max and Dustin in the shot shared by IGN is a vintage Freddy Krueger standee, promoting the Elm Street movies on VHS!

Check out the images below and head over to IGN to learn more.

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.
