– Horror: Jumbo from Killer Klowns from Outer Space

There’s more horror to come tomorrow night. It’s going to be Halloween and it’s going to be special. And whatever you do, DON’T FALL ASLEEP.

Celebrating 10 years of fear with the tenth annual DangerTerrorHorrorThon!

Custom Sprites:
– Castlevania: Kid Dracula, Dragon Cannon/Bone Pillar (Castlevania 1 style) and bat (ANIMATED .GIF!)
– Splatterhouse: idle and blade idle for Rick with the TubroGrafx-16 mask.
– Night Slashers: new Mummy boss sprite and redone Christopher sprite

Mini-logos: Kid Dracula added to Konami gallery, Killer Klowns from Outer Space added to movies.

GFX Generators: the Marvel vs. Capcom 1 ending screen option now has a horror movie theater lobby background, something that’s only been in the site’s videos for a few years. The secretly-added Cosplay Ladies Nurse sprite(called that until I can come up with a better name) was updated and has more color options. Weirdly, there seems to be a bug where the extra color options don’t take effect sometimes, so I’ll have to try and figure out how to fix that. edit: error fixed

The DangerTerrorHorrorThon returns tomorrow night with more horror, including an often-requested survival horror enemy and a return of the clowns in the woods!

One last bit of business before the DangerTerrorHorrorThon is done haunting the site for this year. If you’re a regular visitor, you probably knew that the only thing left was a new video, but I hope you still get some surprises out of this one. You already got a clue about one earlier in the HorrorThon. Happy Halloween!

Happy, Happy Hall-o-ween, Hall-o-ween, Hall-o-ween!
Happy, Happy Hall-o-ween, Sil-ver-Sham-rock!

Custom Sprites:

– Horror
– – Halloween III: trick-or-treaters with Silver Shamrock masks
– – Texas Chainsaw: all-new Leatherface from TCSM 1, Chop Top
– – other: all-new Candyman sprite

– Raven’s Dojo: LOOOONG OVERDUE! The gallery starts with a brand-new Gore Orb sprite based on the brick-breaking character from Raven’s Terror Cube game. Also added are the Dojo comic stars Rodney and Dornail I made to help spread the word about Raven’s comic book Kickstarter from 2012. No, that “long overdue” part was NOT hyperbole. I’ll be reshading these in the future.

mini-logos:
– movies: Halloween III

All new items added to the Image Generators, where you can make screenshots like the one at the top of this post!

Here’s the DangerTerrorHorrorThon 2022 video:

It starts with a few clips of things added to the site during this year’s HorrorThon, throws in a few quick sprite displays of things that hadn’t been in a video yet, and then two theme-based displays (including one based on a favorite clip seen in other HorrorThon videos). The rest of the video shows movie-related sprites character-by-character in a display based on the “Horror vs. Horror 2” print, showing the sprites of the select screen characters who have full sprites.

The West Mansion Splatterhouse site has been adding lots of new things recently, but the crown jewel of additions has just dropped an interview Dire conducted with Takashi Oda, the lead character designer of the original Splatterhouse game! He did more than just create Rick and the cast, as he’s also a practical effects designer on a slew of legendary Japanese movies like Tetsuo 2:Body Hammer and Hiruko the Goblin. Dire’s interview with Takashi Oda can be found here.

Arcade Quartermaster update by adding the Playchoice-10 edition of Castlevania to the shrines! The site has also been adding background music to many of the earlier shrines, so now is a good time to revisit a few and hear what jumps out at you.

TheWolfBunny’s Super Mario Bros. NES font got a MASSIVE update with more letter and symbol characters, easily making it one of the most comprehensive 8-bit-style fonts you can find today. And it’s STILL FREE!

Stay tuned, there’s still more DangerTerrorHorrorThon waiting to find you!

Raven Perez, creatively inspirational friend of the site, has a new horror-flavored game starring his classic crew of the Dojo! Terror Cube is a block-breaking game that has the Dojo teaming up with the Gore Orb to ball-bust some bricks, and anyone who knows how Raven gets down knows it’s gonna get WEIRD (in the best way). It’s a fun game, perfect for this time of year, and a treat to see crisp 8-bit-ish pixel art in his drawing style. Warning: Raven’s Dojo is not safe for work but safe for awesome. Get Terror Cube at this link!

The DangerTerrorHorrorThon continues with another update this Sunday, so stay tuned!

2:30 PM

Custom Sprites:
Friday the 13th – LJN game heroes (Crissy, Debbie, George, Laura, Mark, Paul) redone
Halloween – Michael Myers (choking Bob added)
Music – Scarface/Brad (Geto Boys) in the cane, the black suit, and the Diary of a Madman. Halloween fell on a weekend, had to do it.

One last thing: a short horror-themed video! It’s just over a minute, either brand-new and updated clips!

---

Elsewhere…

Arcade Quartermaster updated with new shrines for Sinistar and Missile Command! A gigantic howling demon-faced death star flying at you is considered horror in my opinion.

The biggest game site surprise of the year: Dire has resurrected the West Mansion Splatterhouse site! One of the earliest fan sites to haunt the web, the site is so legendary that even Namco acknowledged it! Check out the link to see Dire’s message about what he’s been up to and the future of the site.
