Build Your Own ‘Ghostbusters’ Ghost Trap
I’m beginning to absolutely love the AWE me YouTube channel. It’s got incredibly entertaining shows that are 7-10 minutes on average, which is perfect for my small brain and its short attention span. Plus, there’s a wonderful variety of shows, which is also quite pleasant.
This time on DIY Prop Shop, host Dustin McLean, who obviously ain’t afraid of no ghosts, puts together the ghost trap from the Ghostbusters film for a measly $15, although it might cost you up to $25 if you don’t have some of the pieces kicking around in your junk drawer.
Check out the tutorial below and start working on your own for Halloween!
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.
