Guy Builds Giger-Inspired “Biomechanical Axe”
I love to watch people who work with their hands build or craft something that they’re passionate about. It’s very relaxing and puts me in an almost meditative state.
That’s a big reason why I enjoy the YouTube channel MichaelCthulhu, which follows Michael Craughwell, a guy who makes big weapons, often based on video games. However, today he posted a gigantic axe that is themed after the works of H.R. Giger, the man who created the Xenomorph from Alien and Sil from Species. Dubbed the “Biomechanaxe”, the weapon looks just like the name implies, a bio-mechanical axe that is straight from the dreams of Giger himself.
The really interesting thing about how Craughwell works is that he rarely if ever uses a forge (I’ve only seen him do it once and it was a makeshift thing he whipped up). Instead, he welds and grinds everything together into one solid, nigh-well unbreakable slab of metal. Additionally, he doesn’t shy away from taking his time nor does he use super fast edits and cuts to make a short video. Watching one of his clips is an investment but it pays off seeing how everything starts and eventually comes together.

Caged Cannibals and Gory Cyborgs To Invade Halloween Horror Nights 35 With Original Houses
It’s a big week for Universal Orlando Resort’s Halloween Horror Nights 2026 when it comes to this year’s original haunted houses.
This year’s Halloween Horror Nights event begins on Friday, August 28, at Universal Orlando Resort and on Thursday, September 3, at Universal Studios Hollywood.
First up was our exclusive preview of sequel house H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular! In the wake of its announcement comes two new originals that will unleash caged cannibals and cyborg carnage.
In MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals, “A defunct zoo is now the deadly domain of warring cannibal factions that have taken their animal instincts to extremes. They’re territorial. They’re hungry. And you’re lunch.”
In Cybergoria, “Awaken thousands of years in the future in this haunted house and brave a cold world driven by machines with a singular goal: to make you live forever, even if it kills you.”
These houses join previously announced haunts for Sinners and Stranger Things 5.
Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow will be your Ringmasters of Fear for Halloween Horror Nights 2026, which marks the landmark 35th annual event at Universal Orlando. The original HHN characters will also star in their own haunted house at HHN 35, titled Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control.
Stay tuned for much more on HHN 2026 in both Orlando & Hollywood.
