Artist Steve Casino Turns Vintage NES Cartridges into Killer 3D Art Pieces
Steve Casino, whose work we’ve profiled here on BD in the past, continues to be one of the most creative artists on the horror scene, constantly posting fun new creations over on Instagram (@SteveCasino). Casino is probably best known for turning peanut shells into pop culture icons, but he also works with everything from deodorant tubes to Tic Tac boxes.
As Casino describes in his Instagram bio, he “makes art from weird things,” and it seems there’s nothing he can’t turn into an awesome piece of art. Like, say, an old NES cartridge!
Casino has recently shared images of several vintage NES cartridges that he’s turned into 3D artwork, cleverly making it appear as if horror icons like Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Slimer and the shark from Jaws are quite literally emerging from the NES games they were featured in. First he carves up the cartridges, and then paints and sculpts the characters into them.
In some cases, Casino’s art is better than the game itself! See more over on Instagram.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
