Creepy Photography Set Pays Tribute to Stephen King’s ‘IT’
They all float down here.
We seriously cannot wait until this coming September, when director Andy Muschietti’s new adaptation of Stephen King’s IT arrives in theaters. It’s (no pun intended) the most hotly-anticipated horror movie of the year, and fans of the novel (and/or the 1990 mini-series) are dying to be terrified by a brand new iteration of Pennywise.
Melissa Trotter, owner of Stolen Innocence Photography, is one of those fans.
Trotter’s latest photography set, which we spotted over on Reddit today, pays tribute to King’s nightmarish tale of a killer clown terrorizing young children, and it’s seriously creepy stuff. Trotter says she has “a huge soft spot for the story,” and she “can’t wait to see the new version this September!”
Check out the four-photo set below, while you wait for September 8th!
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.
