Popular TV Shows Reimagined With 8-Bit NES Cover Art
I haven’t had cable or basic TV channels for over two decades. That’s right, when I turn on my TV, I get nothing but static. It’s honestly a great thing and while the first six months were awful for a 9-year old, I’m really happy now not being glued to the TV constantly.
That being said, when I was a young’un I was all about the NES. I played the absolute hell out of that system. My parents tell me that I was beating “Super Mario Bros.” before I could walk. I don’t know if that’s family pride or something said with a slight air of disappointment but I’ll take it.
So, when I saw this gallery of TV shows reimagined as 8-Bit NES artwork on Buzzfeed, I simply thought it was really, really cool and wanted to share it with all of you. Check out shows like The Walking Dead, Game Of Thrones, Mad Men, and more redone as NES cover below!
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
