In 2006, a small town arcade was forced to close due to machinations of opportunistic politicians and preachers. The arcade’s owner was run out of town and the cabinets, mostly horror games, were ordered to be destroyed in a public ceremony. One of the former employees, Amelia, refused to let this happen. Rallying a crew of fellow misfits, she liberated the coin-op machines, evaded the local police through multiple states until reaching the one place outside the reach of the law: infamous Alexandria Mall.
The legend of the Alexandria Mall is too long to repeat here, but ask any witness of the midnight skirmish that caused the building to be burned to the ground only to reappear the next morning will tell you how that was only the beginning of the weirdness. Amelia used the doomed machines to start “The Arcade of the Damned,” and began to hunt down additional coin-op games with far more sinister histories.
Custom Sprites
– Illmosis/ScrollBoss: Amelia
– Castlevania: Elizabeth Bartley (Bloodlines)
– Night Slashers: Vampire Boss
– Horror: a new Freddy sprite in the same style as the 2018 Horror print, Nancy Thompson (Elm Street 1 style), Sam (Trick ‘R Treat), the Bishop of Battle (Nightmares). Improved sprites of Michael Myers (Halloween 2 lobby card and sheet disguise sprites) and Mike (Phantasm)
Mini-logos: Trick ‘R Treat and the Bishop of Battle added to movies gallery.
All newness added to the main GFX Generators, where you can make pics like the top of this post!

I couldn’t just let the 20th anniversary go by without doing at least a little something.
A new Alucard sprite has been added to
the Castlevania Custom Sprite gallery and
the main image generator.
There will be another small update in a few days, mainly adding the Mega Man NES screens to the new generator engine. Mega Man content is still a good way to get attention, isn’t it? I’m allowed to say that out loud, right?

This update could be done only at night, for it is filled with Vampires!
Custom Sprites
– Castlevania: Dracula (original CV and SotN)
– Alpha Denshi (NEW!): Kyros
– Movies: Blacula/Mamuwalde and Selene (Underworld)
– VanillawareVampire (Dragon’s Crown)
Mini-logos
– Movies: Kyros
– Movies: Blacula and Underworld
All of these bloodsuckers (and their mini-logos) have been added to the GFX Generator, where you can make your own screens and graphics, including one with that new Dracula’s lair background based on the original Castlevania.
You know, that’s a lot of vampires and tomorrow’s the last day for the DangerTerrorHorrorThon. I really hope someone shows up to make sure these nosferatu MF’ers don’t get out of control…

The original Castlevania turned 30 years old earlier this year, when I promised that you’d see more new tributes to that series during the DangerTerrorHorrorThon. Yesterday’s update featured a new sprite of Richter Belmont, but it’s time to pay homage to the original game.
Custom Sprites
– CastleVania: Darkwing Bat Phantom Bat, Frankenstein (the Creature), Fish Man, Flea Man & Hunchback (redone) and Medusa Heads (redone)
The new sprites and a new background based on CastleVania Stage 5 have been added to the new GFX Generator, which you can use to make pics like the one near the top of this post.
If you think the DangerTerrorHorrorThon is done with you today, you better think again. There will be yet another installment tonight to satisfy your ghoulish appetites.
previous parts: part 1
edit: mislabeled the Phantom Bat as Darkwing Bat (I was using the SotN sprites as extra reference), now fixed.

Here’s today’s batch of newness:
Custom Sprites
– Movies: El/Eleven from Stranger Things, Trash from the Return of the Living Dead and Frank Stewart from the WNUF Halloween Special. Yes, I know Stranger Things isn’t a movie, but it’s on that page for now.
– Castlevania: Richter Belmont (original outfit)
– Vanillaware: Sorceress (resprited and MUCH better)
– Other Games: Julie (Zombies Ate My Neighbors) in her select screen pose
– Marvel: Ghost Rider in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 stance
Mini-logos
– Movies: the Return of the Living Dead, Frank Stewart
– Television: Stranger Things
– Vanillaware (new!): Vanillaware and Dragon’s Crown logo
All of the new sprites and mini-logos were added to the new GFX Generator, which you can use to make pics like the one near the top of this post. I also added a “horror” character list so you can easily find horror characters to build your own nightmares.
The madness continues tomorrow with even more sprites!
“We’ll be right back.”

So I went to make the above quick pic for Castlevania’s 30th anniversary (using the GFX Generator, of course) and noticed something odd. Sypha and Grant weren’t in the Konami section and the Belmont character didn’t have the Trevor sprite I’d made a while ago. All those things have been fixed now. While I was at it, I’ve uploaded the latest version of the GFX Generator engine with a few fixes here and there (some shadows look a bit off, but I’ll work on that) and the character switcher on the preview page:
Thanks to the way I wrote the new engine, I can add more things to that last-minute modifier section in future updates. Sorry for not having more new Castlevania sprites for today (the anniversary snuck up on me), but I think most of you know you’ll be getting some about a month from now.
Last, but not least, multiple pixel donations from Tonner Topper (thank you!) were added to the Sprite Rips and Sprite Edit Pack pages. Anyone looking for CPS2 bg effects should check out those custom packs on the Sprite Rips page!
That’s not the only thing going on here this week, though! Come back in a few days for an…
… early Christmas.
edit: as more proof that I work on this site when I’m half-asleep, I mistakenly had Topper’s name as Tonner when this was originally posted. I’m very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very sorry for messing up on that and it’s now fixed.
