VH1 Celebrating Halloween With Reality Series “Scared Famous”
Ten reality stars enter. Only one is going to survive.
No, VH1 isn’t actually killing reality stars this coming Halloween season, but the network does plan on scaring the hell out of them with “Scared Famous.“
Hosted by “Master of Scare-a-Monies” Redman, who of course starred in Seed of Chucky, the reality competition series will terrorize 10 reality stars as they try to endure gruesome challenges and terrifying scares that pay homage to recent horror hits.
“Over two weeks, these celebrities will move into an eerie estate in Savannah, Georgia, one of America’s most haunted cities, and test their limits for a chance to donate $100,000 to his or her favorite charity. They must rely on alliances, strategy, and friendships; but supernatural forces beyond their control may be their true undoing.”
Constants include:
- Alaska, “RuPaul’s Drag Race”
- Don Benjamin, “America’s Next Top Model”
- Drita D’Avanzo, “Mob Wives”
- Erica Mena, “Love & Hip Hop: New York”
- Eva Marcille, “America’s Next Top Model”
- Miss Nikki Baby, “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood”
- Safaree, “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood”
- Sky, “Black Ink Crew: New York”
- Tiffany “New York” Pollard, “I Love NY”
- Yung Joc, “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta”
Don’t miss the premiere Monday, October 23 at 9/8c on VH1.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
