We’ve profiled David Romero‘s work a few times here on Bloody Disgusting, shining the spotlight on his uniquely terrifying Jurassic Park, Thirteen Ghosts and Friday the 13th artwork.
Romero is back at it with a new series of “Ghosts” that he recently tweeted out, three paranormal entities that were inspired by Ghostbusters – but taken to a new level of terror.
“I was very inspired by Ghostbusters for this one,” Romero tweeted in response to a comment over on Twitter. “At least, how I remembered the ghosts being like creepy and fun.”
Romero’s ghosts are fleshly monstrosities that are downright Lovecraftian in design, but you can definitely see that Ghostbusters inspiration bleeding through. Particularly with “Ghost 3,” which looks like a twisted new take on Slimer. “Ghost 1” and “Ghost 2” remind more of The Thing than Ghostbusters, however, looking like otherworldly body-horror nightmares.
