Freddy Krueger has literally never looked better than he does right here. A neon color palette agrees with the guy, and now that I’ve seen him through this prism of what can only be described as an Instagram filter inspired by 80s workout videos, I don’t ever want to go back. This is genuine eye candy, and it’s so damn tasty.
Jazmin (aka RetkiKosmos) is the artist behind this “Neon Horror” series of artworks inspired by iconic horror films like A Nightmare On Elm Street, Hellraiser and The Exorcist, among others. It’s a refreshing twist on the genre art we usually feature here on Bloody Disgusting, which tends to be ultra-conservative with its use of colors (that aren’t red).
And that’s not a criticism, there’s always room for great art. I just find it fascinating that the exact same source material could inspire the neon eye candy you see below, and Devin Francisco’s decidedly moodier interpretation that trades vibrant colors for a more haunting aesthetic.
