The Cloverfield This Is Really Happening 2008 Advent Calendar approaches the countdown almost like a collection of evidence left behind after a citywide emergency. Instead of relying on 24 similar character designs, its numbered pieces move between creatures, New York landmarks, recording equipment, military imagery and objects connected to evacuation and survival.
The opening row establishes the scale of the disaster. Monster-inspired figures appear alongside different interpretations of the Statue of Liberty and a Brooklyn Bridge miniature. From there, the collection shifts toward the city itself, including a damaged skyline scene and recognizable urban imagery.

24 Pieces That Build the Scene
Some of the most interesting pieces are the everyday objects placed in the middle of the chaos. A handheld video camera and tape reference the recorded-footage perspective, while a helicopter, military vehicle, yellow taxi, subway car and Clark St Subway Station sign bring the New York setting into the collection.
The later numbers become noticeably darker. An emergency radio, flashlight, biohazard-marked barrel and evacuation map are followed by a damaged building, explosion scene and footprint-like impression. The final pieces include “Hammer Down,” “U.S. Army Quarantine Zone,” and “This Is Really Happening” designs, giving the countdown an ending that feels more like an emergency archive than a conventional holiday collection.
That variety is what gives this calendar its identity. Displayed together, the 24 numbered pieces create a miniature visual timeline of monsters, destruction, evacuation and found-footage imagery rather than simply repeating the Cloverfield name across every item.
