After years of this video game horror trying to eat us, it\u2019s finally going to help us with our hunger instead<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The first foes that spring to mind when thinking about Resident Evil<\/strong> are, of course, the video game series\u2019 zombie hordes. Zombies aren\u2019t known for their speed or smarts, though, so as long as you can keep your confrontations with them to an individual basis, they\u2019re pretty easy to outmaneuver and outwit.<\/p>\n Providing a much greater level of terror on a per-monster basis is the Licker<\/strong>. First introduced to the franchise in Resident Evil 2<\/em>, the Lickers would be creepy enough with their freakishly long tongues, razor-sharp teeth, and exposed brains. What makes them even scarier, though, is that Lickers can stick to flat surfaces, helping them lie in ambush or stalk unsuspecting human prey. The very first Licker that appears in the series is encountered crawling along the ceiling of the Racoon City police station\u2026and the newest Licker is ready to hide right on your back<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Thankfully, this Licker doesn\u2019t want to eat you, and is instead here to feed you<\/strong>. While, as shown in the above photo, its paired shoulder straps allow it to be worn like a backpack, the original purpose of this wearable monstrosity is as a Universal Studios Japan popcorn bucket<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In recent years, USJ has been at least as committed to letting gusts step into the worlds of Japanese video games and anime worlds as they have Hollywood movies, and Resident Evil<\/em> has been an enthusiastic partner with the park\u2019s annual Halloween Horror Nights event. In addition to the Licker popcorn bucket, this year USJ will also be running a Resident Evil Requiem The Live horror maze<\/strong> attraction, in which fans can enter the abandoned Wrenwood Hotel<\/strong> where the most recent game\u2019s FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft has gone missing. The search for Grace quickly goes sideways, though, with USJ promising \u201ca suffocating sense of terror with nowhere to escape\u201d<\/strong> as monsters attack from all angles, including above and below.<\/p>\n For those who want to dress the part, USJ will also be selling Racoon City Police Department uniform shirts and bags<\/strong> that can be worn as a waist pouch, shoulder bag, or cross-body bag.<\/p>\n \u25bc It\u2019s unclear if the lack of trousers on offer is because of a relaxed dress code for the RPD, or because USJ doesn\u2019t want to sell you garments that might get ruined if Resident Evil Requiem The Live scares you so badly that you pee your pants.<\/p>\n Pricing details haven\u2019t been announced, but the Licker popcorn bucket will be for sale at the popcorn cart in front of the park\u2019s Stage 22, and the RPD gear at the Cinema 4-D Store. They go on sale September 9<\/strong> and will be available while supplies last (which may not be very long, considering how quickly some previous collaboration buckets have sold out<\/a>). Resident Evil Requiem The Live, meanwhile, runs from September 11 to November 8<\/strong>, operating daily from 10 a.m. Note that the horror maze is limited to guests age 15 and up<\/strong>, though at least it doesn\u2019t require you to sign a consent form like another part of USJ\u2019s Halloween attractions this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source, images: PR Times<\/a><\/em> After years of this video game horror trying to eat us, it\u2019s finally going to help us with our hunger instead.
