ALASKA LONG HUNTERS follows a young pilot who flew into Alaska’s frontier arctic, but landed between a figurative rock and a hard place. Featuring front-seat thrills of bush planes & helicopters operating in the most dangerous conditions on earth, airborne among the magnificent mountains, glaciers and rivers that only Alaska has to offer, this tale documents true-life accidents, comradeship, humor & heartbreak.

Cradled in a retro groove, titular VAMPIRE FOXES… FROM SPACE! descend upon Earthlings to replenish a dwindling blood supply on their home planet.
