This Artist Has Been Adding Movie Monsters to Classic Cartoons

Watch out, Charlie Brown… Krampus is behind you!

Okay now this is fun. Merging childhood with the horror genre, artist Steve Jencks has been spending a lot of his free time injecting his favorite movie monsters into his favorite cartoons, and the mashup art is right about now making us wish that guys like Jason, Ash, and Michael would make cameo appearances in animated fare. Of course, it will never actually happen, but that’s why we love when artists do things like this: they allow us to play pretend, if only for a minute.

Animated characters like Scooby Doo, Charlie Brown, Marvin the Martian and even the Powerpuff Girls have encounters with villains such as Krampus, Hannibal Lecter, and Trick ‘r Treat‘s Sam in Jencks’ fun mashup art, which imagines each of the horror icons in the style of the cartoons he’s made them appear in. Jencks has been adding to the collection over on his Facebook page for the last several months, allowing us to put together a nice gallery for you today.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
