This Incredible ‘Death Note’ Cosplay Should Hold You Off Until Adam Wingard’s Film
We cannot wait to see what director Adam Wingard (You’re Next) does with his adaptation of the manga series Death Note. But while we wait, let’s check out a truly awesome bit of cosplay!
The central character of Death Note is of course Ryuk, and cosplayer Grellish so impressively turned himself into the Shinigami that we just had to share. Photographed by Keyaroscuro, the full body costume makes a pretty good case for the character being practically brought to the screen, though we assume he’ll be entirely computer-generated in Wingard’s film.
Willem Dafoe is voicing the character in the live-action adaptation.
But enough yapping. Check out the badass cosplay below!
In Death Note…
A student who discovers a supernatural notebook that allows him to kill anyone begins a crusade against evil in order to rule the world as a benevolent human god. Then a deadly game of cat and mouse begins when a reclusive detective begins to track down the young man, attempting to end his reign of terror once and for all.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
