Let the Pixelated Blood Flow in This They Bleed Pixels Trailer
I didn’t know what this was until earlier today when I was perusing the Internets, searching for amusing animal videos, as one does when they’re bored and have no one to have sexual relations with. Then, without notice, I stumbled on a trailer for an upcoming gothic beat ’em up titled They Bleed Pixels, and it immediately caused me to undergo what I can only describe as a violent fit of ecstasy. You see, this isn’t just another puzzle platformer, oh no sir, this is what the lovechild would look like if Super Meat Boy and Dishwasher got together to make love in a tub filled with the blood of a hundred virgins.
“It tells the story of a young girl haunted by a mysterious book and her violent Lovecraftian nightmares.” Haunted? Mysterious books? Lovecraftian? Sign me up! You can find They Bleed Pixels among the Xbox Live Indie Games when it gives XBLA a much needed dose of pixelated gore sometime later this summer.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
