Lovecraftian Mod Brings Cosmic Horror to ‘Skyrim’

Published

on

While we wait for The Sinking City to hit later this year (March 21, if you’re wondering), why not take a trip back to Skyrim with the Lovecraft-inspired mod, Here There Be Monsters – The Call Of Cthulhu? The mod has been worked on since 2015, and is now almost finished.

Featuring a large, fully voiced post-endgame quest chain with new followers and equipment, the mod has you either joining or fighting the Old One itself as it has awakened to devour the people of Tamriel. The mod also adds new races and models to the game, as well as new areas in the southern continent of Pyandonea, inspired by Lovecraft’s works, such as the Plateau of Leng.

There are still some bugs left to be ironed out, but there are workarounds on the mod’s homepage on what you should do in case you hit a snag (such as if you happen to kill a monster before you’re supposed to). The mod’s author, Araanim, also has a couple of recommended mods that can be used in conjunction with this one to enhance the experience.

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

Published

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.
