Finn Bálor’s “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” Entrance Added to WWE 2K17
Back in April, the WWE hosted the NXT TakeOver: Dallas, which saw the NXT team leave their usual home of Winter Park, Florida and travel to the Lone Star state to bring their signature high energy matches. The event was streamed on the WWE Network as part of the Wrestlemania 32 weekend and saw five matches that received near universal critical and fan acclaim.
One of the matches was Finn Bálor against Samoa Joe, which was a title match for the NXT Championship and saw Bálor hold onto the belt and take the record for the longest reigning champion. However, what made the event stand out for horror fans was his entrance, which was an homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Bálor entered the arena with a chainsaw that he swung around wildly, mimicking the ending of the 1974 classic horror film.
Now, the upcoming wrestling game WWE 2K17 has revealed that this entrance will be included in the game. A video of the entrance can be seen below. It should be noted that the heartbeats and light flashes don’t sync, which apparently was a glitch and is being fixed.
I know we don’t cover wrestling all that much on BD but I thought this was just way too cool to not give a post!
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.
