‘Ghostbusters’, ‘Hellboy’, And More Get Amazing Wood Carvings
I love seeing people do creative work that stands out, work that makes me stop in my tracks and take the time to really admire it. Such is the work of Justin Christensen, the self-described “Scroll Saw Scribbler”.
What Justin does is use only handmade tools to create unique crafted wood carvings, many using multiple woods to create different colors and effects. He states that he does not use any laser cutters of CNC machines, preferring to use only his scroll saw. Below is a gallery of some of his works, including Ghostbusters, Hellboy, a fantastic Pac-Man scene, and a zombie that looks like it’s right out of a Walking Dead comic.
You can see more examples and follow Justin’s work on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. If you’re interested in purchasing one of Justin’s pieces, head on over to his Etsy.
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.
