The DangerTerrorHorrorThon ends here with the annual video:
I was pushing to get more animation in there, and there’s a part in the Castlevania section that will hopefully stand out. I hope you enjoyed the updates and made them part of your October fun!
Any additional things and fixes will be mentioned in this post. See you again in mid-November!
Elsewhere in the gaming fan site world:
Dire just posted an update to the Splatterhouse: West Mansion site (the ultimate Splatterhouse site) with a lot of new Splatterhouse-related news from the rest of the fan community!
Arcade Quartermaster added new monster-filled shrines on Halloween: CarnEvil (Light Gun section) and Metamoquester (Fighting)!
I’m still putting the finishing touches on the video, it’ll be in one last update tonight!
It’s the part of the HorrorThon that could be posted only at night. Midnight (Eastern Standard Time). “But people can look at it at any time of day.” That’s their fault, not mine. Here’s the update:
– Frankenhooker: yes, Elizabeth from the horror comedy recommended by Bill Murray is now in the custom sprites gallery!
mini-logos: Frankenhooker
All new custom sprites and mini-logos were added to the Graphic Generators, used to make the pic at the top of this post.
Two more updates tomorrow, on Halloween day!
The HorrorThon is going to take it just a little easy on you this time to make up for what’s coming next. Welcome to the Namco Boo-seum!
mini-logos: Genpei Toumaden. Apologies if I didn’t do justice to the lettering!
All new custom sprites and mini-logos were added to the Graphic Generators, used to make the pic at the top of this post. Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti enemies now have their own character slot.
Sure, that was cute and all (well, the samurai ghost isn’t, that’s a serious situation), but if you want some real horror, you’ll get it tonight at midnight. Part 3 of the 2026 DangerTerrorHorrorThon takes you to the horror movie section! Two are from series already on the site, but there’s also something from deep in the old video rental shelves. Get ready!
The 2026 DangerTerrorHorrorThon begins where the last site update left off… the comic book section!
Mini-logos: Hellboy
All new custom sprites and mini-logos were added to the Graphic Generators, used to make the pic at the top of this post. Carrion is in “Spider-Man villains” slot and Black Hand is in the “Green Lantern’s enemies” slot.
The HorrorThon will continue this Friday and roll on through Halloween Saturday, including a new video!
A heads-up: the status page for Dreamhost (where this site is hosted) has mentioned some server slowdowns and, I didn’t really see them happening until right before I started uploading today’s update. Please let me know if you see anything weird going on with the site, it’s been a VERY weird month for the internet if you’ve been following the news.
If things get too ill, I’ll have to lock this site down until the danger has passed, and I will continue to post the pics on social media and the DangerTerrorHorrorThon video will still hit the YouTube channel on Saturday.
DC Comics – All-new and/or updated sprites for the following:
– John Stewart: standing pose only seen in videos before but improved and now in multiple outfits, plus all new ring raise pose
– Hal Jordan: Showcase #22 cover
– Katma Tui: standing sprite and an all-new ring raise sprite
– Guy Gardner: updated head for taunt sprite
– GLC: Kyle Rayner and C’hp added
– Sinestro: new version of his hover sprite in his Emerald Dawn Green Lantern uniform
– Star Sapphire: all-new Green Lantern #41 cover sprite, DCAU and Rebirth costumes for the earlier hover pose
– DC Comics villains: Black Hand and Goldface: all-new sprites
Those sprites were also added to the main GFX Generator, where you can make screenshots like the one at the top of this post. And now, here’s the 2026 Green Lantern Sprite Showcase video!
As always, I had more plans than time (Stel, Salakk, Evil Star, Manhunters), but the Corp, their friends, and their enemies will return in future updates!
♫Do you re-mem-bah?♫
The 21st day of September? I did. Anyway, I felt the need to give an update about what’s up. Long story short, I had some dental surgery last week and I’ll have more next week. Due to some of the medicine I’m taking, I still feel a bit out of it, but still got a decent amount of work done. So I’m not sure exactly how much I’ll have ready next week, but if I can’t finish the Showcase before the end of the month, I’ll probably have a small update with some of the less-surprising new sprites and then save the others for when the video hits.
I’ve got almost 2 minutes of the video locked, with a few parts and renders not added yet, so keep your fingers crossed. I just finished another scratch-made sprite that replaces a really old edit.
Here’s what the logo screen looks like now:
I’m sorry for forgetting to post this last week, but the ScrollBoss YouTube channel hit a milestone recently: 1,000 subscribers! For a channel that goes so long between videos, it feels really good. I posted a Thank You video last Friday that shows some clips for things I’m working on right now.
None of these things have an ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) yet, unless mentioned:
– Nutroll: will be back for this year’s Illvember. You’ll find out what he’s been up to and more Illmosis characters will get sprites here and there.
– Media Center: Had to do a lot of work to set up more monitors compared to the 1989 version, this will get more use in the near future.
– 80’s arcade: There will be an updated version of this background including the new suspiciously familiar carpet pattern (shoutout to all the programs out there) and redone Space Invaders cabinet. No ETA for this yet.
– Golden Axe: progress is a bit farther out, but that Tyris Flare sprite in the Mega Drive cover art shot is one of the new and/or updated sprites you’ll get when that hits here.
– Green Lantern: That Sprite Showcase is at maybe 30-40% assembled in Vegas right now, including shots, sprites, animations, and another background not shown yet. Pushing for late September, but it may be early October. Expect that new Green Lantern Corps. Custom sprite sub-gallery from the last update to get bigger.
– 3D Toy Aisles: Even though I showed you the Jada Toys Street Fighter and Mega Man section, I still have some surprises finished, and you’ll see a lot more in December.
Also: added the Muscle Busting site to the links section, a site you’ll want to check out if you like Kinnikuman (or M.U.S.C.L.E.), the Super Mario Bros. Super-Show, or pro-wrestling. If you like all three, you’ll REALLY want to check it out! They were linking to me already, so you know they’re nice.
Gotta get back to work on the Green Lantern Showcase, but I’ll have a small update later this September!
GFX Generators: all new custom sprites have been added to the main generator, along with two new backgrounds. One is beta 2 of the Green Lantern Central Power Battery. “What happened to beta 1?” You’ve seen teases of it over the years, and I think part of it is in a Superhero Sprite Showcase video in a “3 comic cover” style display.
Time for me to thank anyone who has subscribed to the ScrollBoss YouTube channel, which just hit 1,000 subscribers this week! I’m going to make a Thank You video and will try to have it ready by next week.
Voice actor Peter Cullen brought life to a lot of characters, but many of us know him as the original Optimus Prime. Those of us who grew up watching Transformers heard something in the character that we probably didn’t understand at the time, but it was more than a great voice. The writers created a leader who truly cared about those he fought beside and those he’d sworn to protect, and Cullen found a way to make that feel more real than you’d expect in a cartoon based on a toyline. That happened because it came from a very real source.
No, the post title isn’t an arthouse movie you missed, that’s what’s in the update. Couldn’t let the 8th month’s 9th day go by without at least a little 1989 flavor, so Abigail from Final Fight gets a Street Fighter Alpha 3 Vs. portrait!
It’s been added to the custom SFA3 portrait gallery and the SFA 3 GFX Generator, where you can make your own Vs screen with the real portraits from that game and a lot of other Final Fight and other cameo characters. Meanwhile in the main image generator, I’ve finally added the 1989 lobby background that appeared in some videos, but with a brand-new poster: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!
This was a last minute addition, but it gave me an excuse to look at some posters of the late, great Drew Struzan. This was apparently the earlier poster, but I thought it’d give a clearer look at Indy. I promised Dire51 (the OPCFG and West Mansion) I’d make a poster for Indy when I had the chance, so here it is!
