New “Scream Queens” Promo Thinks It’s “Pretty Evil”
A new promo for FOX’s Scream Queens promises that the series will be “pretty evil” when it hits the air on Tuesdays this fall. You can see the teaser below.
“All hell is about to break loose for the Kappa House sisters of Wallace University when a murder takes place, exactly 20 years after a mysterious death originally rocked their college campus.”
The cast includes Emma Roberts (“American Horror Story: Freak Show,” Scream 4), Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween, A Fish Called Wanda, True Lies), Lea Michele (“Glee”), Oliver Hudson (“Nashville,” “Rules of Engagement”), Keke Palmer (Akeela and the Bee, “Masters of Sex”), and guest stars Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas (“Kingdom”), among others. It was created by award-winning executive producers Ryan Murphy (“Glee,” “American Horror Story”), Brad Falchuk (“Glee,” “American Horror Story”), and Ian Brennan (“Glee”).
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.
