These Old Illustrations For ‘The War Of The Worlds’ Are A Must-See
The 1897 serial The War Of The Worlds is one of the most famous sci-fi pieces in history. It has been adapted into several films, a radio broadcast that caused widespread panic, video games, a TV series, and more. It has been analyzed, reviewed, and dissected more times than can be counted and its message has proven to be timeless.
In 1906, Brazilian artist Henrique Alvim Corrêa rendered several illustrations based upon the story and these pieces of art are absolutely fantastic. They capture the terrifying nature of the story with beautiful detail and definition, presenting the story in its own image, one that is noticeably different from the tripods we are used to seeing.
Several of these drawings are up for auction, although they come at a pretty steep cost. The cheapest one I saw was $1,500.

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.
