There can never be too many epic horror icons if you ask us. Freddie, Jason, Art the Clown, the list goes on—we know them AND we love each and every one. And what we love most is how no two horror icons are quite the same. Killer dolls—check! Killer clowns—check! Even killer phone apps have made their presence known. Horror icons have come in every shape and size because there are basically horror movies made about every topic under the sun. However, it turns out that one thing we haven’t had yet is a baseball horror movie and an iconic character to go along with it. And that seems like a real shame because America’s favorite pastime is rife with gorrific opportunities. The woosh of the bat into a face? The crash of a ball into a mouth? We can picture it. And now, director Ben Trandem and writer-producer John Ungaro want to bring that thought to life with their short baseball horror movie, Basher. But Basher won’t just be a movie; he’ll be your next great horror villain—IF you support him on Kickstarter. All you have to do is take one look at him to know it’s true.
In a sentence, Basher is “A balls-to-the-wall slasher about a group of townies trying to survive the fury of a homicidal baseball mascot in their local dive bar.” Listen, if the words “homicidal baseball mascot” don’t sell you, you should take a good, long, hard look at yourself. In addition, the creators share that this short film is a “carnage candy thrill-ride” that is non-stop. Basher is not like any other horror icon out there that you might be imagining; he is a wrecking ball. He’s not sneaking or hiding; he is going straight through, but he’s also human to the core. It’s a powerful combo. And, I mean, just look at that mask.
It’s also kind of incredible that there has never been a baseball horror movie before. If you check out the first seconds from Basher that the team has put together for the Kickstarter, complete with a human ball mount and a bloody bat, you’ll see precisely why it’s a brilliant idea. Blood meet bat meet ball meet human flesh. We’re shivering and cackling all at once. And Basher’s whistling as he works really clinches it for us. It’s worth pointing out that untrodden horror ground is so rare, and that makes it all the more exciting to discover.
Basher‘s concept of “a decaying Americana” also really appeals. The description for the short film notes that it feels like “Nostalgia has had a long grip on culture, but there’s something off. It should be something warm, but it’s twisted and sinister.” As we mentioned, there’s something so quintessentially American and apple pie about baseball—it seems so harmless, in a way, compared to other sports—that it really begs to be twisted up into something falling apart and vicious. And Basher seems to have the perfect pulse on how to do it.
But Basher won’t get to become an icon without you. All of this horror goodness can’t come to fruition without a little help from the team. In order to cover the creation of Basher, the creators of the horror short have put together a Kickstarter. Your support will help Basher get made and pave the way toward the rise of a new horror icon. That’s a home run if you ask us. Support Basher today, and let’s hit this one out of the park.
