Gorgeous ‘Alien’ Monsters Are High End Art Pieces Made From Original Molds

Published

on

Three decades and multiple creature effects later and Los Angeles based Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (studioADI) are giving the horror industry perhaps their most memorable monsters yet.

Co-founders and Academy Award winning effects duo Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff, Jr. are taking some of their most recognized monsters and making them into fine art.

Gillis and Woodruff are responsible for movie beasts from the Alien and Predator franchises and more recently Andrés Muschietti’s It.

Today they announced the release of art from the The studioADI Collection inspired by their Alien³ and Alien: Resurrection’s Xenomorphs.

But these are not assembly line replicas, they are high quality pieces made by the same studio and artists who worked on the originals: The actual molds used in the production of both films the Alien³ and Alien: Resurrection were used in these exquisite pieces.

“This is the collection designed for fans of these entries into the Alien franchise as well as aficionados of the art of creatures and monsters of iconic pedigree,” said Woodruff.

The studioADI Collection will launch on December 1, 2017 and the art pieces will initially be available exclusively HERE.

“The studioADI collection is our tribute to the films that have been an important part of our legacy as artists. Each piece of art reflects the same detail and passion we poured into the characters when we created the original Alien films,” said Gillis.

Full descriptions and dimensions of all the art will be available December 1.

Some pieces will be available as exclusive limited editions. The pieces will be priced from $250.00 – $4,000.00.

Below are descriptions of two items:

Always in-demand, they move into their 30 th year riding high on the huge success of IT and their creature makeup creation for Pennywise, an instant iconic Movie Monster. Upcoming projects include Bright, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, The Predator, and Godzilla: King of Monsters.

Published

on

Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

The Faceless Lady

Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

Published

on

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this  Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
