Due to outside forces last week, I didn’t have the time to finished all the stuff I’d planned (this happens A LOT), and I’m not in the mood to leave these things unfinished, so…


custom sprites:
Marvel villains: the Grim Reaper

mini-logos: I dipped back and made mini-logos for characters who didn’t get them during the weekend, including…
DC Comics: Croc (Killer Croc’s logo for the ’85 Who’s Who)
McFarlane: Violator
Movies: Tiffany (Child’s Play)
Music: Geto Boys
Television: Movie Macabre (Elvira’s original TV show logo)

All new fighter-scale sprites and mini-logos were added to the GFX Image Generators!

The DangerTerrorHorrorThon 2021 begins with… a host segment?

October 29th, 2021
3:00PM


Custom Sprites:
Horror
Elvira – new Movie Macabre couch sprite, celebrating her 40th anniversary this year! This sprite is in the same style seen in the Horror print from a few years ago, and I’ll eventually redo her earlier sprites to match that style.
the Last Drive-In – Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl of “The Last Drive-In” added

Mini-logos
Television: the Last Drive-In

11:00

Night time is the right time for murder and mayhem, but bring your own knives!

Custom Sprites
Horror: ‘Mother’ from Psycho, Horace Pinker from Shocker (reshaded, resized, updated)
Horror – Child’s Play: Chucky (updated classic and new ‘stitched’ version) and Tiffany added

All new fighter-scale sprites and mini-logos were added to the GFX Image Generators!

This year’s DangerTerrorHorrorThon begins now with some 1989-related horror goodness, including the Mistress of the Dark ditching her Party Monsters (from the 1989 pinball game) and getting down with the Monster Party!


Yeah, I basically used a pinball game as an excuse to make pixel art of Elvira.

Custom Sprites – Along with a new design for the main Custom Sprites page, the following galleries were updated:
Atari: Ghosts from Gauntlet
Movies: Elvira
“Games (Other)” page: Monster Party’s Bert and Mark, Tom Guycot from Clash at Demonhead
Namco: a Pumpkinhead drone from Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti

Mini-logos – Elvira added to the Movies section, Monster Party added to the Bandai sections.

GFX Generators – All of those new sprites and mini-logos were added to the generators along with a few Vampire Savior 2 stages for the multi-choice background styles.

The DangerTerrorHorrorThon will continue next Friday with more weirdness from video games (and beyoooooond, ooOOOooo) and conclude with one more update on Halloween, Friday the 31st. Something about that date makes it seem even more suspicious, doesn’t it? Hmmm…


The font to write the DangerTerrorHorrorThon logo comes from Hydro78, one of the most unstoppable graphic design beasts I’ve ever seen and definitely worth a look the next time you want to buy some fonts.


Other people out there doing the spooky thing right about this time:
VGJunk: Great monster game reviews have been added all month, including a fresh look at Sega’s Monster Bash.

ManyNinjas recently clocked in some Boss Rush speedruns for Maxim and Simon in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.

Wizzy dropped a one of his patented all-around CPS2-styled BGMs for Darkstalker’s Sasquatch, and it sounds buttwhoopingly beautiful.

edit: the first update went so well that I’ve made a few improvements to Elvira, including new palettes and two more poses. Thanks for the kind words and I’ll be back with more weird stuff!
