One of the best parts of making PIGSHIT has been paying tribute to the movies that inspired us.

Today we’re excited to reveal our alternate poster artwork by the legendary Ilan Sheady @unclefrankpro, inspired by one of our all-time favorite slashers, Slaughterhouse (1987).

If you’ve collected horror Blu-rays over the past several years, you’ve definitely seen Uncle Frank’s work. He’s created artwork for releases including Terrifier 3, Jakob’s Wife, Dolls, Cellar Dweller, Robot Jox, Bio Zombie, and many more. His painted style has become a staple of modern horror collecting, and we’re honored to have him bring PIGSHIT to life.

From day one, PIGSHIT was our love letter to the gritty Southern horror films we grew up discovering at the local video store. Paying homage to Slaughterhouse with this alternate artwork felt like the perfect way to celebrate one of the films that helped inspire it.

Huge thanks to Uncle Frank for absolutely crushing it. We can’t wait to get PIGSHIT into your hands.
