Create Your Own Horror-themed Miniature Arcade!
While this probably won’t resonate with our younger readers, everyone else may lose their shit when they see this new Esty shop that’s dedicated to archiving arcade machines as miniature collectibles!
Created by 33 Games, a creative studio specializing in art and bespoke deluxe gifts inspired by classic video games, arcades, and pinball, these ridiculously cool replicas are made using wood, acetate, and plastic.
The artist does everything from 3-D art to pinball and arcade machines, all with the option of being lit with LED lights!
There aren’t just a handful available, with minis available for classic arcades such as X-Men, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, and Rampage, as well as pinball machines for everything from Tales From the Crypt(!) to Addam’s Family, Twilight Zone, Haunted House, Creature From the Black Lagoon, A Nightmare On Elm Street, The X-Files, Phantom of the Opera and many, many more.
If you’re an arcade fanatic like I am, all these minis hit the nostalgic sweet spot. They’re also awesome gifts…

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.”
