Before Neil Marshall’s Live Action Film, Check Out HELLBOY ANIMATED: SWORD OF STORMS and BLOOD & IRON

  |  
Feb 5, 2019

This April will be all about Hellboy, and that’s no joke. In addition to Neil Marshall’s live-action Hellboy reboot (starring David Harbour) arriving in theaters on April 12th, we’re getting word that two animated Hellboy movies will be arriving in a 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack from Lionsgate. Get ready for Sword of Storms and Blood & Iron to hit online and brick and mortar retailers beginning April 2nd!

In Hellboy Animated: Sword of Storms:
In the first animated feature from director Tad Stones (Buzz Lightyear of Star Command), a folklore professor becomes unwittingly possessed by the ancient Japanese demons of Thunder and Lightning. But when The Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defense dispatches a team of agents to investigate, a cursed samurai sword sends Hellboy to a supernatural dimension of ghosts, monsters, and feudal mayhem. Now, while pyrokinetic Liz Sherman and fishboy Abe Sapien battle one very pissed-off dragon, a lost and cranky Hellboy must find his way home. Even if he can survive the perilous journey, how much crap does a guy have to put up with from the two most vengeful and ferocious spirits of Japanese legend?

In Hellboy Animated: Blood & Iron:
When Hellboy, Liz Sherman, and Abe Sapien are assigned to investigate the ghost-infested mansion of a publicity-hound billionaire, they uncover a plot to resurrect a beautiful yet monstrous vampire from Professor Bruttenholm’s past. But before they can stop her bloodbath, Hellboy will have to battle harpies, hellhounds, a giant werewolf, and even the ferocious goddess Hecate herself. How much crap does a guy have to take from a Hungarian Blood Countess before he and his surrogate father can avenge the souls of the damned? It’s going to take more than just a horde of very pissed-off demons for our heroes to see the light in this animated adventure from creative producers Guillermo Del Toro and Mike Mignola.

These films were previously released in 2006 and 2007. Best of all, they feature the vocal talents of Guillermo Del Toro’s Hellboy stars, Ron Perlman and Doug Jones. Hellboy is the brainchild of writer/artist Mike Mignola. Check out the special features and trailers below.
