Artist Turns Classic Horror Movies into Animated Neon Signs

Published

on

Suddenly I’m struck with the desire to open a horror-themed bar.

We love profiling unique horror movie art here on Bloody Disgusting, and this fun series from UK-based illustrator and 3D animator Michael Whaite definitely fits that bill. Using programs like Flash and Adobe After Effects, Whaite has been turning iconic movie imagery into brightly colored, eye-popping GIFs, depicting some of the best horror movies of all time as neon bar signs.

Films like Psycho, Jaws, Beetlejuice, The Shining, and Frankenstein have been given the neon treatment by Whaite, and though he didn’t go all out and actually turn the art into signs that you can buy and display in your home, we think that just looking at these is cool enough. Speaking of cool, wait until you get down to The Shining one at the bottom, which is so goddamn perfect.

Gotta love the creativity!

‘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.
