This Is Your Hub For All Things FEAR Awards
You want to know what’s more exciting than E3, Tokyo Game Show, PAX, the VGAs, your birthday, and Christmas combined? The FEAR Awards, that’s what. Okay, fine, that might be overdoing it a bit, but this is still pretty exciting. Here’s where you get to vote on the best and worst games of the year, and more than that, here you even get to help nominate your favorite games and choose the categories they’re nominated for. How many awards let you do that? And even if you could name a site that lets you do that, do their awards have a spine-chilling name like the FEAR Awards? No way. You want to know why? Because it’s just too scary.
Here at Bloody Disgusting, we embrace scary. Did you see our logo? Yeah, that’s a skull with a fucking saw in it. If you want to be like us and take fear by the horns so you can ride it off into the sunset like a horseman (or horsewoman) of the apocalypse, you should keep up to date on this year’s goings on after the break. This will be our official FEAR Awards hub, so bookmark it, because I’ll be updating it as it happens.
Below you’ll find all our FEAR Awards related articles, and that includes the things you can vote on as well as all our end of the year posts. ENJOY!

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
