“Scooby-Doo” Horror Mashups Become a Book, and We’re Backing It!
Over the past few months we’ve been on the forefront of some incredible illustrations by IBTrav Illustrations & Design.
Trav put his name on the horror map with his horror mashups that would put iconic genre villains in an episode of “Scooby-Doo”. Scooby and the gang have come face-to-face with Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Ghostface, Michael Myers, and even the Monster Squad!!
After becoming an internet sensation, Trav hs decided to put said art into a new hardcover book he calls “The Lost Mysteries Collection” (full details here).
Bloody Disgusting is excited to announce that we will be partnering with IBTrav to get behind this awesome crowd-funded collectible that will be limited to only 300 pieces!
This book would compile all of the “Lost Mysteries” you have come to love PLUS new mysteries the fans have been clamoring for: I’m talking Carrie, The Shining, The Lost Boys and MORE!
I want this collection to be a quality product. One that’s printed on high quality paper like a REAL SWEET read. A book you’d find in Barnes & Noble and not WalMart, between the arts and crafts aisle and $5 DVD bin.
Each book will measure 6″x 9″. It will be hardcover bound, printed on high quality paper and in full color.
This will be a limited run of 300 books. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
“I’m very excited about this project and hope that fellow horror fan are too! There will be lots of new art to fill this book so expect to see new mashups in the coming weeks,” Trav tells Bloody. “Also, keep your eyes peeled for updates, behind the scenes photos of the book in progress and more!
“Thanks to Bloody Disgusting and all the horror fans for their support!”
The thing I love most about this campaign is that he will also be joining up with Scares That Care and donating all proceeds above his goal amount! This is where crowd-funding becomes beautiful.

The best part about engaging with collaborative genre fiction on the internet is that anyone can get in on the action, with worldwide accessibility often resulting in absurd story beats that wouldn’t be possible if any single person was responsible for the entire narrative. And while Kane Parsons’ Backrooms film is definitely the young filmmaker’s own unique take on the infamous creepypasta, it’s fun to see other creators join the Backrooms sandbox now that the big screen adaptation is getting ready for a record-shattering opening weekend.
As if cleverly timed releases like Puppet Combo’s The Backrooms game weren’t enough (not to mention that Scary Movie poster poking fun at Parsons’ flick), McDonald’s official social media accounts have now released an analog horror video of their own celebrating the liminal terrors of the McRooms – complete with a familiar purple surprise at the end of the footage.
While it’s funny enough to see the world’s most recognizable Fast Food giant engage with internet-borne Found Footage thrills seemingly out of the blue, the video is actually referencing a long-running gag among the Backrooms fandom where creators jokingly talk about there being a fully functional McDonald’s restaurant hidden somewhere in level 0 of the infamous liminal labyrinth.
Now, would it be too much to hope for a moist-carpet-flavored McShake to tie in with the film?
Backrooms is now playing only in theaters from A24.
